Nurse Family Partnership

The most enjoyable part of this job is making a difference in your clients and they're child's lives, building the therapeutic relationship with them on a very personal level. It is very rare in the profession of nursing to have one on one time with a patient and not be focused on "hands on care." The program is also free and voluntary so the client is more willing to work with you then someone your required to care for in a bedside situation. I have never even encountered any anger from a single one of my clients. This job is also not physically demanding and is very generous with PTO time and paid holidays. The schedule is determined totally by you and your clients which allows for a very generous work life balance. I also support moms virtually, by phone and in person depending on what they want. Yes the pay isn't as competitive as a hospital, it's public health and non-profit, but pay isn't everything and as someone who has been a nurse for over 30 years I would gladly trade pay for less stress and much more appreciation for me as a nurse from my client's, fellow nurses and my supervisor. The amount of support we receive is also unheard of, where nurse's actually value the opinion of other nurses going through the same things you yourself are.  I am hopeful this will be the last job of my nursing career and would be honored to retire from it. 

For registered nurses desiring a flexible schedule and the opportunity to work at the top of their license, this is an ideal job. A typical day involves home visits to pregnant and new first-time, low-income mothers who remain on your caseload until their child's second birthday. During those visits, the woman and her child are screened for physical and mental health concerns and educated on normal child development and parenting. Referrals for needed services are also provided. There are also weekly team meetings for staff development. Teamwork and mentorship are prioritized. Hardest part of the job is caring for clients in very difficult life situations. You will become an expert on the needs and resources of your community. If I weren't advancing in my career, I would still be here. 

Employee Review of NFP

Working for NFP was an overall amazing experience. The nurses are incredible professionals who genuinely care about the clients, showing unmatched compassion in their work. The work environment is extremely supportive, and there are numerous opportunities for employee assistance, making it a positive and uplifting place to work.

However, there are a few challenges. Opportunities for advancement are limited, which may be discouraging for those seeking career growth. Additionally, some members of management seem to focus more on personal relationships than on maintaining professional standards. As a result, instances of employee misconduct can sometimes be overlooked.

Overall, NFP is a fulfilling workplace for those looking to make a difference, though individuals seeking clear career progression may find it less ideal.

Nurse Family Partnership provided a home visitation program ;for first pregnant mothers that met income guidelines. The program is evidenced - based; therefore it is imperative the program is implemented according research guidelines.  It was my responsibility to ensure the guidelines were adhered to in order to maintain research integrity. I work from home when I was not traveling. I also met with stakeholders to program issues, funding streams, and development of new programs. The hardest pert of the job was travel and keeping up with reports. I traveled at least two weeks out the month to North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida.  Every three months the team met in Denver. The most enjoyable part of the job was the support provided to the mothers and their infants for two years.

Program was awesome prior to the  randomization process.  Many times the clients that are in need of the service is often assigned to the control group rather than the treatment group. Huge nurses turn-over rate, that was not the case prior to Pay For Success. Clients are given support from the nurses in all aspects of their lives.  I have witnessed the positive growth in clients from intake to graduation.  The nurses supports the clients  starting during pregnancy and ending on the babies second birthday. Effective facilitators.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Helping first time mother's become better parents!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Like any other company. 2wrong communication can sometimes cause struggles and stress.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There is always room to work cross functionally with other departments. This locks at N.F.P.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Making sure every mother is assisted in any way possible.

O.k. so you're micromanaged every second of the day, every day. The managers only care about doing whatever the head of the company wants and will throw you under the bus to get what they want. You travel every day, are compensated for miles (federal government reimbursement rate) at the end of the quarter. You & your car will take a beating. The program itself is good but the extra work you have to do that's not program related is ridiculous and the benefits are bad. They want you to be a slave to your job and judge you to be a bad employee if you are not.

It wasn't that the company let me down, it was the company lacks a clear and focused direction. Much of the work is done on your own with several meetings mixed in throughout the day. Management spins it's wheels a lot and the growth of the company seems very limited. Not exactly what someone is looking for at an entry level position, more for someone okay with sitting at a desk for 8-10 hours a day with little support. The people are nice and the work was somewhat rewarding, but a very tough place to want to be long term.

High turnover rate but they will not tell you that when you’re hired. Endless amount of charting which means most days do not end at 5 or 6 o’clock. Micromanagement of every hour, every day.  Must be in office if you only have 3 in person visits per day. Meetings are constant and consume so much time. Still expected to see same amount of clients on meeting weeks. They only care about client case load and visit numbers. They do NOT care about their nurses. Toxic. Loved clients. 

This job can be very stressful, but it is also very rewarding. You get to impact the health of your community and follow the families for years to see real outcomes. You will have be very knowledgeable of your community. Management in my region was horrible!  You have to be self-motivated, and ready to work because you create your own schedule.
