Pros

Non-management personnel are top-notch for the most part, until they leave, like all the good employees do

Cons

Speaking specifically of the Valle Vista facility(Psych&addiction services), its simply the most horrible place you could possibly work or be a patient. Horribly understaffed, management regularly skirts regulations and asks staff to falsify documents. Patient care is nearly non-existent since there is nearly always a 20:1 patient to nurse ratio. Management regularly forces psych patients to share rooms with those who are withdrawing from addictions just to cram one more person into the facility. Patients pay an estimated $1,000 per day to be drugged and housed, and thats about it. The woman running the facility has 0 schooling, training, or experience with psych&addiction and is in truth schooled only schooled in business administration prior to working here. This place is a for-profit facility and profit is upper management's ONLY concern, and it is managed accordingly. 72 hour psych holds are used at management's whim, and have even been placed on a patient because they were 'annoying'. Valle Vista actually posts advertisements for coming to their facility in local business's bathrooms if that tells you anything. If you get mentally sick or are battling an addiction, you'll want to avoid this facility at all costs.

Pros

Overtime, Overtime, Overtime, Overtime, Overtime

Cons

Staffing turn around sucks because they can’t keep a certified nursing officer and the one they hired is on a high horse,favors staff and fires those he doesn’t favor when an opportunity arises. The dayshift supervisors also have favoritism and certain dayshift staff gets treated like gold and whatever they want compared to other shifts. Nursing management takes vacations to get away from admin and the CNOs wrath. And to top it off they fire staff for dumb reasons like asking to work a different unit for a break or having staff react to trauma of being assaulted by a patient. Staff gets abused here and admin doesn’t do a damn thing to correct the issue other then let staff go.
