AMG Specialty Hospital

I'm a seasoned nurse 10 plus years experience 7 plus year ltac experience. Trust me when I say you won't be doing yourself any favors working here. I only worked there for 4 months and have never had such an awful experience in my nursing career. If I only knew then what I know now could have saved myself a lot of pain and misery and never accepted the job. I saw plenty of staff leave due to being extremely overworked, which is the reason I left. Im only writing this so that I might be able to help another nurse. A typical day including taking care of patients that are at icu level acuity so staffing ratios do not reflect this and are very unsafe you'll have 5 plus pt on your assignment on a unit with 30 plus beds and sometimes they only staff 1 cna so you'll have primary care. If you ask for help you will receive zero support or teamwork from your coworkers. I spoke to management (cco and other nurse supravisors) a number of times regarding this and was repeatedly told "do the best you can." I mean seriously I've never encountered such terrible managers in my life. Every other ltac I've ever work at if nurses were having a busy assisments and needed help we pooled together and helped each other even the cco and other office nurses were right there working right along side you or the assisments was changed to reflect the new acuity level. None of this happens here, a few coworker I could count on we would help each other out and say the same thing glad your working today at least I know I can count on someone to not yell at me for needing anything. Because clearly having 8 pt and 3 primary care asking for anything or anyone to help is clearly asking for to much. (They do that a lot here yelling and screaming at staff all the time made me sick to my stomach). When the few coworkers that I could count on that helped and be team players left I followed suit I stayed a lot longer then I should have, I kept thinking things would get better and they never did. I've never posted a review about a job before but I can't stand by and not say anything if this helps anyone it would have been worth it.

Each day is challenging but very rewarding in being able to provide care needed for each patient. The lack of support and communication from nurses up to management is just gross. In a place that should focus on not only the care of our patients but also all employees who dedicate their time and compassion are treated very poorly and the staff under nurses are severely under paid for what they put up with. The gossip and bullying in this facility is completely out of hand and no one is Ever held accountable for their actions of certain abuse towards Co workers.  You don't know who to trust. Management claims to encourage an all inclusive standard of team work however never enforce rules on the nurses. Big time favoritism amongst certain individuals. Techs are left to do all the work with exception of certain tasks requiring a license or degree, although most Techs do most wound dressings for nurses who are to lazy to.  Nurses feel its beneath them to do tech work like they are too good to wipe a patients backside , guess they don't wipe their own.  Nurses speak I'll of patients and their families within earshot of others.  Facility does not have appropriate equipment for special needs patients such as bariatric.  They want to bring in the sickest, heaviest patients but understaffed  is a severe understatement.  Poor training which is why no new hires last very long, usually ran off by nursing staff, gossip, bullying and no support, leaving 1 tech to 20 patients in most cases and the majority of patients are on ventilation machines. This place needs an overall adjustment in weeding out the bad apples no matter what their credentials. Overall be very weary of seeking employment here.

Very surprised that this place has not been shut down by the state yet. They are out of compliance is many areas. The company Vice President of compliance can't even keep their own facility in check! There have been patient falls with no staff present, patients were dumped, there are major discrepancies in patient medical records that management doesn't take seriously, liaisons that go to hot yoga and plastic surgery appointments on company time instead of visiting hospitals to get patients for AMG, the list could go on. 

Management and the CEO will not take accountability for anything. They will catapult blame on their staff or other members of the administration. The CEO makes staff the butt of their lame jokes. Maybe this is why there's such a huge turnover! The nurses are home health nurses with the exception of a couple. The respiratory and physical therapists are either online graduates or bottom of the barrel PIMA graduates. There is no path to advancement and when someone leaves to take on a better position at a REAL hospital, HR talks trash about their success. 

I had to run away from these pathetic people. I truly feel sorry for the patients and hope this place will be exposed for the cess pool it really is. 

"AMG-Where incompetence drives out competence."

Wrongful ethical practices don't let the pay rate fool you there is a reason for their pay rate. This company is negligent and don’t care really for no one from Las Vegas to their corporate location poor ratings from the direct care staff. Wish I could upload the photos of how they treated patients and staff! Beware! You are under valued over worked and no help from management, to RN staff you are on your own. Staff call off all the time or quit. The employees are very unprofessional with each other. No respect and all are unhappy except for the salary workers. You are not promised hours as it is a small facility most quit due to lack of census so your paycheck here is never reliable so if you can live normal and handle that then you are ok. If you are full time and census is low your checks will have a negative in your account against the monthly insurance premiums that are due. There is no stability here with this company and there hasn't been for years and never will the employee turnover rate is extremely high from staff to director of nursing even they don't stay. The only reason some one comes back here is the pay but eventually they realize the nightmare the facility is and leave for good!!! If you notice they are always hiring for CNAs and other staff that should be a red flag to any job seeker they can never keep staff!!!

This was my first nursing job and where I learned the most about the art of nursing.  I was able to hone many essential nursing skills that made me the confident and competent care provider I feel I am today.  The management was excellent, and very approachable.  They performed their roles very responsibly and always took time to give any employee their complete attention when presented with an issue.  I couldn't ask for a better DON or Human Resources director during my time there.  The workload was challenging at times but the management was understanding and always did their best with the given circumstances.  My coworkers were great as well and the teamwork made a challenging patient assignment possible.  The nurses looked out for on another and were great about helping out others with their patient load.  The CNAs were always quick to lend a hand and went above and beyond to make the patients and family feel comfortable.  I am truly thankful for my experience here and wish the company and its great employees all the best.

A typical day at work involved staff arguments and complaints regarding the call-ins and short staffing and the shift patient/nurse assignments.  If you were not favored by the full-time staff then you could count on having the most and worst of patient load for the shift.  
Shifts were 12 Hrs, documentation was time consuming and not reliable.  Concept was based on providing strong Physical Therapy focused-based care, but during the 1st year in business that concept slowly diminished and the patients admitted were high acuity, long term care level - requiring more nursing care, as many of them were immobile or unstable post-surgical patients.  
Management was poor, physicians were fragmented and did not communicate well.  Personnel complained openly regarding other employees - call in's became more frequent, and staffing was a nightmare.  
In the beginning there was hope, now the only choice left would be Transformation or shutdown.  Unfortunate - good concept, poor execution!

I agree with the last nurse regarding it is not worth ruining your license. But when management fails to allow proper training and sets you loose, throwing you to the wolves, without proper training in an area that you hadn't worked for years. Promised an orientation and then it taken away, no warning. No support.  Not fair to the patients or the nurse.  Management did not care at all. (Not fair for patient safety, and for the nurse proper education/training to be the best he/she can be). It is not fair to just throw out there on own with no support due to staffing issues. These are people's lives, they have families, and they deserve safe care. The nurses were wonderful. The general staff was great.  Management just doesn't care about the nurses. I would not recommend working there. It says a lot when management throws you to the wolves, early orientation and just do not care, Hopefully, they will get it right one day, for the patients best interest. God Bless

I don't blame the CEO for the decisions of the CNO

Three Administrators this year, so far, much more than that altogether, should give you reason for pause. The worst people left when they were told they were told they were going to have to start actually doing their jobs; but Corporate culture continues to be their undoing. Las Vegas Healthcare in general is fairly poor when compared to the rest of the Country, but even with such a low bar, AMG Las Vegas stands out among the rest. This is the Absolute worst "Healthcare" facility in Las Vegas and that is saying something. They are constantly struggling to keep employees and get Referrals, fighting a losing battle as each day passes and getting closer to closing for good. Working at this Facility will turn you sour on working in Healthcare at all. It is my sincere desire that this place will do the Las Vegas Valley a favor and just close, like so many of their other facilities have in the past few years.

This place would be ok if Leadership was fair and professional but alas, that is not the case. Boundaries are frowned upon, favoritism galore, work life balance is almost non-existent and gossip runs the hospital. You are told to “ride the wave” if you bring up bullying.  HR, like most companies, is not there for the best interest of the employees, despite the overly friendly demeanor.

Some nurses, some RTs and most aides work extremely hard, but if you are on the favorites list, then you get to do less.

Perks of working here AFTER FIVE YEARS is the ESOP program and free food from vendors. I did learn a lot about the insurance and admissions process but any mistakes that are made are not dealt with professionally.

I enjoyed working with many of my co workers. It was extremely difficult to work at AMG. It could be an amazing hospital but runs it staff except for nurses very short handed and often without many othe the necessities to perform good patient care. I am proud what I accumplished there and being able to get to know your patients was a blessing. Many of the patients would give you high marks and very happy with your care but never was that mentioned from management. Often the cna and rts would work extremely short often times solo for the patient staff ratio. 20 pts for one tech or 12 critical airway patients and including ventilators for one rt. Many of the nurses would not be held accountable for patients vitals sighns or having to tend to patients. Nurses are not held accountable and are never reprimanded.
