Pros
Excellent pay scale for this area. The patients are great from a bygone era and are jewels. Love working with this aging population who were a part of some important historical actions and changes that shaped our country. They are group of heroes and patriots that do not need to be forgotten.
Cons
Upper management nonchalant, cold and uncaring attitude toward their patients. Also very abrasive and poor management example for nurses. Non-communicative management with the nurse in the home. Never a kind word to say to their nurses. Write-ups frequently to climb the backs of nurses in order to make themselves look like authoritative managers to the main office in Colorado. The main concern in Oak RIdge is recruiting more patients to increase the flow of dollars into the business but they really don't care for their patients or nurses. If I were a patient looking for a nursing service. I would definitely look elsewhere. Upper management are not ethical people. Nursing staff are hardworking and good nurses for the most part but the office in the Oak Ridge area needs a complete overhaul starting with the top to the bottom. It is a shame.
