Pros

Experience. Very rewarding working with Hospice patients/families.

Cons

Having to work 10+ hrs day to care for patient load AND spend 3-6 hours every week completing redundant paperwork at home while being paid a salary for a 40 hr work week. Needing to apologize for the company you work for versus proudly representing them as a result of increasing demands, and decreasing ability to provide quality care to a fragile pt/family population.

Pros

Rewarding to help patients and families. No direct patient contact. Good clinical support.

Cons

Extreme micromanagement. Non clinical leadership lacking understanding as to what Triage Nurses do and that not all calls are the same. Management by Exception practiced based on favoritism. Revolving door of Triage Nurses leaving and new hires requiring weeks of training resulting in the department being chronically understaffed.
