Pros
The doors have code and can lock after dark so that the at least we have a little bit of protection after dark when administration goes home. Especially since we are conveniently located right next to project house where staff members cars are routinely broken or tires slashed. But there are no cameras of course because building is so old they still use (1) yes ONE window AC unit to cool down each hall.
Cons
Abuse, neglect, fraud are common !!!! As a matter of fact management participates and when addressed the DON and Administrator make sure that they call the medical director (House MD to give a telephone order for psychotropic drug to sedate patients or make them out of it) . Then when the family arrives they say they are just tired or stayed up all night. Lets not forget patients being admitted without documentation, nurses working as CNAs due to lack of staff which is daily. Work schedules are fabricated to look one way for the state(DHEC) otherwise it never reflects actual staff . CNA's often work alone on 3-11 and 11-7 shift , so one CNA for about 40 patients per hall. So you can imagine all the bed sores, falls etc. that cant possibly be address , then wound care nurse is treating ALL these wound acquired in the facility but make it look otherwise on paper. As well it is daily that the administrator threatens staff that if the wall AC units are touched then it will be turned off to only make people suffer (how nice ) especially when you have O2 concentrators running making everything hot. But when anything is said about any problem you get moved to another hall, fired, taken off the schedule etc.
