      Worked to the bone.

      Registered nurse

      Pros

      Money. They have a PIL (pay in lieu of benefits program) that is pretty sweet. They pay more because they HAVE to in order to keep staff around.

      Cons

      Nurse to patient ratio is the biggie. I would have 5 vents and 1-2 walkie-talkies. All on numerous antibiotics and needing full care. Did I mention that we would have 2 CNAs for the ENTIRE floor. Sometimes only one. So MOST days I did ALL the care for 6-7 VERY SICK patients. I left as I wanted to protect my license. Secondly, the work morale and ethic is so bad. I would get called almost EVERY day off to come in and work. Most staff at one point were agency, which made matters exponentially worse. All in all, a hellhole, and that's why those of us who endured that place called it "HELLDRID".

      Saving a dollar takes priority over competent patient care

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Generally works well with schedule Wonderful co-workers Decent benefits

      Cons

      Management does not respect the workers that are in the everyday trenches working with the patients and their families. They are quick to believe the word of a patient or a family member over the employee if anything negative is said, and we are constantly understaffed and overworked. Instead of going by patient acuity, which means that they would have to have more staffing, they're going by the number of patients in the building, trying to save a dollar, but in reality, they're putting the patients in jepardy. And another thing, how can you cut the respiratory staff, when Kindred is a respiratory hospital? Hello, is anyone home? Why is there one respiratory therapist assigned to twelve or thirteen patients? I don't understand, but in the end it's the patient that is going to suffer
