Pros
Fully staffed each shift with RN, Rad Tech, Medical Assistant, and Lab Tech. Set up for efficiency. Professional clinics always clean and well organized. Flexible scheduling as a part time employee; my availability given preference because of my other job requirements.
Cons
Protocols for treatment leave little flexibility for physician practice styles. Might as well be robots. Dinosaur EMR based on DOS. Very labor intensive to learn. Physician pressured to see multiple patients per hour, especially during flu season. Must see all patients that make it into clinic before 10:00 pm closing time. Never get home on time, many times seeing patients up to 2 hours after doors close. Big Brother is always looking over your shoulders, changing expectations i.e. now they are measuring the time from discharging a patient to when I dictate. Benchmarks for everything. It is ridiculous. Every week multiple new “Policies” published which all employees have to sign that they read the policies. There must be hundreds of policies which you are expected to know after reading them once. Look forward to the day I can quit and the end of every shift I work. High turnover rate of employees.
