Pros

None. Zero. Cant think of any.

Cons

These people are a total scam. Do your research. They were accused of committing Medicare Fraud, and settled for 14 million, and still I am not convinced that their billing is ethical. They have the most aggressive ruthless impolite billers that literally follow you everywhere. You are not safe anywhere except for possibly the bathroom. The culture here is only about the bottom line. Not patient care. They train the billers to stalk you on rounds, follow you around the halls, and they even go to the physician's lounge and interrupt your break perhaps as you have some food going down your throat to ask you if you can change things in your note to allow them to bill higher level of care. They assign 20+ patients per provider also because all they care about is maximal billing with the least number of providers.

Pros

work from home, smaller business, personable nurse manager

Cons

lack of training, then they blame you for not meeting training standards. For example only able to train odd hours that didnt work for me, then complained it took to long when i only trained 2 hours every other week. Of course it takes 2 months to train when only trained 1-2 hours every other week When I applied I said I had OB expierence but 30 weeks and under, then later complained I didnt know labor calls well enough. Most of calls were OB but it was advice for all areas and I KNOW triage and advice very well and would have been great assest to them Another MAJOR con is the pay. My other job paid 2.5 times more so of course they had priority when I trained, so if ya want to pay more, I would have trained any hours open first, but otherwise you are last on my list. Other call jobs pay the same and dont require you to be a RN, for example southwest airlines call agents etc . Anyway their loss
