Pros

My fellow co workers truly cared about patients and their outcome. Our 7s oncology/ geriatric floor was like a family. We held each other together as a team.

Cons

Always working short handed with the patient population that needed the most care. Unreal patient assignments for 1 aide. 3rd shift was dangerously understaffed pertaining to patient safety and care. Many times only 1 aide for 50 patients. Yearly review depended on how many points you have gotten. one way was by going to the monthly meetings for committees you have to mandatory be on.

Pros

No pros. It was a horrible place to work

Cons

If you were night shift, you had to work every holiday. The nurses were so lazy and never helped us. We ran around taking care of patients with no help. Changing them, cleaning up horrible messes, taking them to the bathroom and doing vitals with no help. Nurses would sit there eating while on Facebook, while we did all the work. Some would even be sleeping!
