Ventajas

-generally flexible schedules -benefit package is decent but also costly compared to other plans of similar quality, recently raised prices considerably.

Desventajas

-unethical: directors and upper management turn a blind eye to grouping then billing individually. -profit over patient welfare: pressure to make everyone an "ultra," which sometimes leads to inappropriate therapy minutes...some patients noticeably decline due in part to therapy they cannot tolerate. the alternative is to bill while the patient sleeps. -not all patients are equal: Med A minutes must be met. when the caseload is too high, told to skip Med B patients (for days at a time when the orders indicate 5 x per week) before shortening Med A minutes or calling/adding prn therapists. -unrealistic expectations: 90% minimum on an 8 hour day (including breaks, leaves you 15 minutes to go back and document on the gym computers). 89.4% and you're in trouble the next morning. Occasional pressure to hit 95% (illegal expectation due to mandated breaks) and 100% (that should be a red flag, not a minute in the facility unbilled? I mean really...) -the only news is bad news: meeting expectations and excelling are never praised. the only time we hear anything from management it's negative....work harder, profits aren't high enough, change the way you treat to make more money, etc.

The pay is better than most places- but for a reason. Rehab team fabulous.

Desventajas

Greedy for-profit system. Benefits are terrible. Unsafe patient assignments. This patient population is critically ill, unstable, and often come with infections, pressure injuries and other conditions they acquired at the sending hospital. Most packed ICUs send patients here when they aren’t progressing fast enough or about to die. You often have 5 of these patients at a time on ventilators, critical drips, complex wound treatments, etc. Due to high staff turnover you are often working with a staff who was rushed through orientation and hired with no acute care experience. Their clinical liaisons often withhold or fail to assess for pertinent information prior to them arriving and they often make promises to the families and patients that are untrue (they get paid bonuses to bring in patients- regardless of their outcomes). If you become a charge nurse expect to have a full patient assignment while rounding with providers, running codes, and doing admissions. Don’t expect support from your local leadership team as their expectations from the regional team are too high and they are also overburdened with responsibilities.
