Pros
Fellow staff members were great
Cons
Patient to staff ratios are way too high. If a person is 65 or older they automatically go to the Geri floor. Most patients have dementia and are very confused. But let's say you lose your spouse and become suicidal. Yep. You are now on the dementia floor because you are 65. No therapy. You are warehoused until your insurance is up. It's a horrible place. Don't go there if you actually want to help people. You hurt them. They discriminate a lot. They refuse to hire Polnesians saying they can't pass the test as care specialists. Blacks / hispanics will be hired but only for the night shifts. Men are given more pay. Honestly I thought this kind of stuff did not happen anymore, it died away in my grandfather's era. Boy oh boy was I ever wrong. When you are in the middle of it you think " They wouldn't REALLY be doing that, it's so illegal and they have to be smarter then that. They'd get caught!"
