Pros
I have been working at Supportive Care for almost 4 years. I originally had hesitation in working in a nursing/ rehab center, but found I love it and now work full time. It is very rewarding to help people in their time of need, such as during injury or illness. The staff at the facilities and the staff at Supportive Care are very engaging and willing to help in anyway they can. You can also make your own schedule, which is great so I can be home in time to get my kids off the school bus. Another thing I like about this position is that you don’t have to be concerned with client no-shows since if a resident is out at an activity or an appointment you can see someone else since there are plenty of residents to see! I feel like this job has been rewarding in so many ways and I feel happy going to work everyday knowing I am making a difference in people’s lives.
Cons
It can be sad to see people in pain or dying, but it is very rewarding being there for someone during this time.
