Generally a good company, but some focus on profit rather than improvement. - Director of Quality Select Medical Employee Review

Pros

The employees do an incredible job with very difficult patients. These are patients who have extensive wounds, difficulty getting off of vents and other major defecits. There is generally great teamwork and a wonderful focus on the patients and families and their needs.

Cons

The computer systems are cumbersom for medication delivery, pharmacy and other systems. There are over 100 small unit Select facilities - so there is a need to have standardization. This means that change and improvements in an individual unit are hampered by the need to keep everything the same across the large company.

Pros

The pay is better than most places- but for a reason. Rehab team fabulous.

Cons

Greedy for-profit system. Benefits are terrible. Unsafe patient assignments. This patient population is critically ill, unstable, and often come with infections, pressure injuries and other conditions they acquired at the sending hospital. Most packed ICUs send patients here when they aren’t progressing fast enough or about to die. You often have 5 of these patients at a time on ventilators, critical drips, complex wound treatments, etc. Due to high staff turnover you are often working with a staff who was rushed through orientation and hired with no acute care experience. Their clinical liaisons often withhold or fail to assess for pertinent information prior to them arriving and they often make promises to the families and patients that are untrue (they get paid bonuses to bring in patients- regardless of their outcomes). If you become a charge nurse expect to have a full patient assignment while rounding with providers, running codes, and doing admissions. Don’t expect support from your local leadership team as their expectations from the regional team are too high and they are also overburdened with responsibilities.
