Pros

Different cases to work. Pay is above average for related positions elsewhere. A lot of psych cases. The staff in the office has been there a long time and are mainly a pleasure to talk to.

Cons

Some staff unorganized and lack professionalism. They will speak to you in an intrusive manner. Protect your license, do not work here unless you have years of experience. When in doubt speak to RN case manager not unlicensed staff and document. Always check your hours and pay. Rate of pay stated for a case may not reflect what you are payed. Know the name of the staff you spoke to regarding rate of pay for case. Always get confirmation on your faxes. Several occasions items supposedly were never received. No direct deposit. Checks bi-weekly.

Specialty is long term private duty skilled and non-medical care. Our pay rate is higher because we only hire experienced staff. We do not hire new grads or staff without experience. Agree we are not for everyone - if you do not have the right experience our cases might be difficult for the new nurse (patients on ventilators, etc). We cannot do direct deposit as we need the notes in and we only bill from signed time cards and notes turned in. We shy away from faxes and have a central email address where you can scan/email notes and time cards but do require original documents to come into the office. There are multiple fax machines in all offices so it is best to use the central email address provided in orientation. We do require documentation and everyone needs malpractice insurance if you work in home care. Agency always looking for ways to improve communication with office and field nurses.

Pros

Management is easily accessible, any issues are dealt with promptly and fairly. Very diverse group of people to work with. There is always someone available to talk to if you need help or guidance. Educational opportunities are offered in areas that enhance your knowledge and provide opportunities for growth within the organization. The employees are valued and very much appreciated for all their hard work and the company makes every effort to show the appreciation to all of the employees. It is a fun environment, I cannot emphasize what a great job this has been and how much I actually enjoy going to work every day. Not many people can say they love their joy, I am happy to say that I can say it. High standards are demanded for the care of our patients and I feel that is a pro. When your dealing with the personal care of another person or their family member, only the best can be the acceptable standard.

Cons

Since I love my job so much, I rarely take a vacation, even though I am constantly encouraged to do so. I guess I really should do that someday soon.

Pros

Try to entice worker to an impossible case by offering top dollar. Otherwise, on a day to day basis, there is never any available work when you call.

Cons

Avoid this employer. They sign you up then provide no work. Declined only case offered due to acceptable reason. They made the allegation of "refused work" to the EDD to prevent "employee" from receiving unemployment benefits, when, in fact, they had never provided one shift of work and did not employee the worker. The worker declined the only offered case several months before the employee even applied for unemployment benefits. These people are lacking in basic integrity.

There are multiple assignments available to field nurses. Some of our cases are long term quadriplegics, SCIs, etc and both case and family members are challenging to deal with. If you are willing to go to different locations there is actually plenty of work available. The Agency doesn't make decisions re: unemployment. The EDD is in charge of this. We simply provide the facts regarding departure from agency. I always suggest being signed up with several agencies (I personally was registered with 7 different companies when I worked field nursing) as when one agency slow the others might have work. I have 4 staffers and 2 on call staff all who are fluent in English. Some are bilingual which is helpful with our Spanish speaking clients and caregivers. No Agency guarantees full time work however our company specializes in long term catastrophic patients which give you a better chance of finding long term work as some of our cases have been on service over 10 years.
