Select Medical reviews

This is seriously the worst company I have ever worked for in my 11 years of nursing. I would choose to work at a run down nursing home over Select. They do not put patient care, safety or quality first. They do not value their employees, especially nurses. They give constantly make false promises to try and keep you employed. 75 percent of the staff on my current floor is agency, they cannot keep staff nurses. The nursing leadership of Select is very far removed from actual practice. The corporate leadership is extremely profit driven. During our weekly patient meetings they spend a few minutes at most talking about safety and quality, yet they will spend hours and hours talking about marketing, expense control, and improving their profit. Also, when you work for Select, you will work for a company that actually denies care to patients if they do not think they can make a nice profit off of them.

Productivity standards will wear down your resistance and eventually you will have to work off-the-clock or in an unethical manner to get your job done. Have been called to task frequently to justify how a patient is too-sick to be an Ultra-High RUG. Have had to have decisions to discharge patients approved by regional supervisor before the 3 day notice could even be turned in to the facility. Of course, this delayed discharge by up to 2-3 weeks, which allowed more Medicare money to be acquired.
