Pros
It was an opportunity to get away from traditional bedside nursing.
Cons
TCMs have to work weekends. Everyone else got to choose the weekend they worked. I had to wait and find out which days still needed coverage. When I covered at the locations that did discharge planning, I would often have work dumped on me that could and should have been taken care of during the week. My coworker at my regular location had significant problems during orientation, so they just moved her to my location instead of addressing the issues with her performance. She had trouble doing her work and would leave initial assessments which are more time consuming for me to do.
