I was an employee at MJHS, and I didn't have a good experience. I was so excited to start as I always wanted to work for nursing homes.  However, my first day of work wasn’t great as I expected. I showed up at work around 0630. They were two nurses at the nursing station. I greeted them with a big smile and introduced myself. They didn't answer back. Instead, that nurse said: "Are you sure you are going to work on that unit? Why they hired you? ". I just ignored her as I was here for the residents not for her. However,  I will never forget her as she kept telling me: “Why they hired you?“ with that angry voice and hateful eyes. The day I met the manager, she acted like she wasn't aware that she had a new hired. She  told me: "I didn't interviewed you? Who hired you?  I am not short of staff. Now you are going to cause my staff to float everywhere". I didn’t feel welcomed at all. I felt ashamed and hurt. She also scheduled me to work for Christmas and new year while some staff were off for both holidays. I was treated so unfairly. I didn't appreciate that at all. Therefore, as I have excellent background and had many options, I accepted a job offer from another place. I didn't want to end up with no job during my 3 months of probations. Furthermore, the nurse who was my preceptor tried to make me look bad in front of the staff at the nursing station every time I asked her questions about PCC when I started on my own. " I already told you once. I should not be repeating it for you!". No body can master a program in few days. It's by asking questions you learn. The other thing I didn’t like was when I started doing vital signs,  5 minutes later, she started following me around and telling me:" I can’t believe you’re still doing vital signs! You are too slow". Really! No body can do 12 vital signs in 5 minutes. It wasn't about doing vital signs quickly. It was  about making sure the residents were stable, comfortable and safe. Also, the same thing happened with my meds pass. Lady,  passing meds is not a game. One day, I couldn’t reach a doctor that I needed urgently for a resident. She had the ARNP phone number, and  I asked her for it while she was sitting at the nursing station. She stood up and told me “ I’ll give it to you after I’m done passing meds”. Are you kidding me? I didn't need it for personal reasons. Also, it only takes few seconds to give a phone number. The other nurse who was also at the station had the md cell # and refused to give it to me. Are you serious? I didn't need it for personal reasons. Those nurses  on that unit were being selfish and were acting like I was here to take their job. Hello! I was there for the residents not for you ladies. I had to leave as  I started to feel miserable over there. The only thing I don't regret was providing excellent care to the residents. I will be missing them so much. I love making differences in people lives. One of my recommendations to MJHS is to include the ARNP # in PCC.

Pro 
-diversity 
CON
 -Politically charged environment where teams gang against the diligent employee including racism,bullying and favoritism
- Set you up for failure
-Training and promoting favorable employees; Also they will say you are doing your job wrong and never correct you
 -Really bad racist Administrative/Directors/Managers who pass comments, exploit and treat their employees horribly. 
-Administrative "figures" will only accompany their favorite employees to their meetings and defend them (knowing that their employees are lazy and pass over all the unfinished work to the diligent employee ). 
-Also these are the same people that  plotted against and falsely accused a black employee for fathom outcome just to hide their faults. These employees  will play neutral when it comes to ethics and always say "I don't know" when it comes to their assigned  JOB duties an responsibilities. 

Shamefully,  Some of these Directors with a  Masters degree have an IQ of a rock, and talk on the phone all day (talk about productive). For example,asking an unlicensed personnel questions pertaining to evidence based nursing,ordering  a vital machine that doesn't have any disposable accessories to avoid contamination and never questioned the supplier regarding such measures/precautions and  unable to use software that are essential to the department.

The biggest one of all, Administrative figures didn't baker act a suicidal visitor man after it was confirmed that he did in fact state that " he wanted to blow his brains out." Some of the favorable employees were aware but made excuses as to the accused being a student and medically cleared.(Like school shootings don't happen). Unsurprisingly, security made it seem as if reporting the issue was a bad thing. WOW

Stay away from this toxic place.

My day at M.J. starts early involving the management of planner for about 80 Medicare A patients. This is followed by scheduling for a team of 35 therapists. It is a challenge and learning is ongoing as I love challenges. This is possibly the hardest part only because of sheer numbers, the coordination required and time bound nature of work. This is followed by patient care as I usually have a 3 hour caseload. This is followed by clinical meetings and management meetings. I dedicate an hour after lunchtime for follow ups on various issues arising out of the meetings. The best part of my job is effective trouble shooting or effective time bound resolution of issues involving patient care and facility management. With my strength in clinical issue resolution, PPS, conflict resolution and relationship building I enjoy this part of my job most, especially as it involves on the spot decision making a lot of the times. I have a large and wonderful team of therapists with different personalities, experience and outlook. I enjoy effective management of this team. I guess certain things are challenging and fun at the same time. Above all I feel happy at the end of the day when I ask myself " did I deliver the highest quality of patient care" and the answer is "YES".

The management at this PACE program truly have no idea what they are doing. They are completely disconnected from what is happening at the sites and have very little knowledge about operations. Great employees with knowledge and experience are held back or dismissed, while people who lack knowledge but are willing to compromise their morals and ethics are promoted. The leadership are focused on things that do not matter and do not care about patient or employee safety. There is a focus on quality and compliance, but leadership does not adhere to CMS guidelines and make up their own rules and demand compliance to erroneous guidelines that create busy work taking time away from real necessary work to help patients. There is constant infighting in leadership and a constant culture of backstabbing coworkers in an attempt to get ahead. 

My experience at Miami Jewish Health was challenging overall. At the beginning, I did not receive the proper training needed to perform my role confidently and safely, which made the transition difficult.

Additionally, there were extended periods where I had to manage my department entirely on my own, without adequate support or guidance. This created a stressful work environment and made it difficult to maintain the expected standards consistently.

Another concern was the lack of recognition and appreciation for the workload and responsibilities handled, especially when covering the department independently.

On a positive note, some team members were supportive on a personal level. However, from an organizational standpoint, there are significant areas that need improvement, particularly in training, staffing, and employee support.


This is an extremely cut throat job that will make anyone cry. You are constantly at the mercy of patients, their families, other disciplines, and hospital management. Hospital management is the worst and constantly reprimands the social work department. It's like they hated us but we had so much patient interaction. You will literally cry every week working here. You can never do anything right because patient's are upset and then hospital management is upset that patient's are upset. The truth is that MJH is a for profit company and puts the blame on patient facing employees when patient's are upset. You are expected to come in early for audits and sleep overnight during Hurricanes. There is no overtime compensation for this. If you are not available, you are reprimanded and humiliated by management. I would not recommend this job to my worst enemy. 

I first began working with this company in 1997, as a secretary. Throughtout the years, I transferred 2 times. My last position being the Human Resources Assistant. I began my day @ 7:30am, assisting employees with any questions or concerns. I learned how the Human Resources Department functions. I learned how to better interact with people. Really listen to them. My co-workers were a very nice group of people to work with. My Director, was one of the nicest persons that I had the pleasure of working with. The hardest part of my job was when i had to advise someone that they were not qualified for a position. The most enjoyable part of the job was when I was able to tell an applicant that the position is theirs if they wanted it. The expressions on their faces were priceless!

I loved working there. Everyone became family to me. But when Covid19 hit, a lot changed over in a years time. Nothing was never the same after that. The culture, The Thrive, The leadership etc. But it actually made me the person I am today. They didn’t give  you raises unless you threaten to leave the company  and when you do that all of a sudden HR and your manager decides to want to have a meeting with you concerning your happiness and what can they do to help speech and etc. They don’t want to pay your worth but  clearly you’re the only one doing all the work and leadership sees it. But instead they will hire someone to do the work you’ve been doing and pay them double!!! 
I pray things get better because it’s not a bad company it’s just those certain ones in the company that makes it an uncomfortable place to stay. 

A typical day at this establishment can go both ways, some days was hectic and others went smoothly. We learned many different thing like working the front desk doing secretarial work. And also got training to become Med Tech. Which allowed CNA's to be able to give out certain medication to the residents. For some reason management never stayed long, but when they did they had their favorites. The establishment look out for their employees especially during the holiday season.  The hardest part of the job was some of the residents some had Alzheimer's which was understandable, but then again  they were aggressive and hard to deal with.Others was just being difficult I guess because they felt they could which made it very stressful at times.

Don't go there management are terrible  , I went there as a LPN; I quit after 1 month they treat me like a trash because i complain about the person who suppose to do orientation with me. I' a new graduate on my second day of orientation  she gave me the med cart to give medication with out  any observation ,when I  went to the manager and complain because my license and patients live have value for me . Since that day retaliation started,  they keep  changing my schedule overnight without my knowledge, I felt so stress .The sad thing even corporate  can not fix the problem ,I had to quit before they do conspiration against me and make me loose my license .
