Pros

Pay is decent, but could be better with the amount of overwhelming responsibility and stress that comes with the job.

Cons

A very overwhelming place to work, especially when they thought giving nurses 5 patients was ok. Although, they have been trying to give us 4 patients on average now, which has been better. Nursing is expected to do many jobs besides their own. Everyone has the same hours in a day but nurses are expected to get it all done in more hours somehow. You have therapy, but nursing is still expected to do a lot of the mobilities. You have techs, but nurses do all the blood draws, vitals signs, and blood sugars. You have respiratory but nurses have to be the ones to check on all the lights and suction and stay down our hallways at all times, among other things. Nurses are always the go-to with anything that goes wrong and responsible for it all, so it feels like there is not much support or help to do it all in the same amount of hours as everyone else has.

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.
