What is the best part of working at the company?
Nurse Spring Nursing Agency has been around for a long time. 
The present leadership tries hard to maintain staff to meet the needs of the clients they service. I do admire the effort they put into making their clients happy. The problem is they don't have enough staff.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
None really.  Not making good on their promises when you respond to their last-minute call to fill in.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Nice team spirit. Nurses get along well and will cover for each other, especially during illnesses. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work. I arrive on duty on time, get a report, and begin caring for my patient. If my patient is still asleep, I will begin with an assessment. Once I determine that my patient is alert and responding to stimuli, I will make sure the patient is clean and comfortable, then start my medication prep for the day. The rest of my day is routinely meeting physiologic, psychological, and communication needs according to the plan of care.

I applied to work at Nurse Spring because, it appeared they weren't like your average nursing agencies. I signed up for Full Time because they offered benefits; medical,dental and even mileage reimbursement. I was ready to get started but, there always seemed to be a problem with scheduling; no jobs available, need to orientate with facilities, etc.
This definitely would not meet mine and my families needs. I can't say whether they had good benefits, scheduling etc. because, I have never had an opportunity to work for them and I've been there over a month now.
They do have jobs but,over an hour and a half away; which didn't make sense, seeing there were facilities right in my local area.I had to quickly decline and, have since dropped my status to PRN; which seems appropriate, given there is no full-time work that's feasibly available.
If you are willing to drive an hour or more away from your home, or perhaps work some PRN hours, then this could possibly work for you.

Great flexibility, disorganized office, not much opportunity for advancement.

I love my clients and coworkers. My manager and DON are both wonderful. 

A typical day at work includes relieving the previous nurse, getting report, performing ADLs, administering medications, facilitating activities, appointments, ordering supplies for clients, assessing and addressing new complaints or concerns. 

This job has given me the opportunity to start to get in to some of the administrative roles that I feel my clinical experience has prepared me for. 

The hardest part of my job is making sure clients, family, and providers follow through with recommendations and new RXs.

The most enjoyable part of my job is seeing the overall care of the client improve as I become involve and manage their care.

It is very sad to have to share this with those looking to join the organization.  if there is to be any success from an employee standpoint, it all starts with senior leadership.  If Senior leadership cannot community, follow through, be help accountable, then how is it possible for the rest of the layers of leadership do so?  I feel that there is such a lack of accountability from the leadership that it is rolling downhill and directly affecting the rest of the organization.  Please think twice before you put your time, energy and faith into a group that doesn't have their act together.

As an agency nurse we answer the call to care. Different jobs, places and faces at times. It can be stressful, but I have learned so much from this experience. I am not viewed as the "agency nurse" in my field, i have garnered immense respect from the staff and places I have worked. I would say it has been because I have the support of the hardworking people who back me and my endeavors. I am lucky. The hardest part about this job is that I do get attached to the places I work at and the hardworking people and patients there, and then have to leave for another assignment...that is the tough part.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Next day pay

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Checks not clearing bank.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I was disrespected for a early call out (before 12:00pm for 3pm shift). I explained that I a physical problem with my hip and was working on it so I  could do a double the next day. They knew of the past injury and that I worked a schedule (not more than 2 consecutive doubles that would allow recuperation). 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
2 double shifts followed by a single followed by 2 doubles no weekends.

I have worked for many companies/agencies over the years, and this company above all shows they care.  Like anyone, they make mistakes, but they always fix them.  They offer DAILY pay, which is unheard of these days.  They have benefits right from hire as well, and the health plans are very affordable.  

They very rarely have any shifts open that I wouldn't want to work.  They almost always get me the schedule I want, and even in the places I request most of the time!  

If you work with them, they will do everything they can to accommodate your needs.  It is nice to have people who actually care.  

This is a fast pace job. No training. You will get a variety of settings for jobs, you do not have to agree to any job you don't want. Hours are not guaranteed. Sometimes you get canceled at the last minute. Sometimes you get jobs at the last minute.  You cannot be mandated. You have to be flexible and go with the flow. Management can be very hateful and unprofessional. If you call out or don't wasnt to take a certain job or you can't, management will be hateful and might not try to get you any jobs.

I’ve been working with them a couple of years now and any issues are resolved immediately. They definitely support their staff. I’ve had problems at facilities that they’ve listened and taken care of for me. My only complaint is sometimes when I give availability or ask to pick up shifts I don’t hear back so you have to follow up for your hours. But this isn’t the case always and they are definitely great to work with and friendly. They also give bonuses every year. 

Pay & benefits
Every week my check was short and what I got paid a hr was different

Overall
Every week my check was short and pay was different they say they can print a check right in front of you but every my check was short I would have to wait the next week. And they worrisome as heck will blow your phone up asking if you want to pick up shifts even after doing a double shift they don’t even give you time to rest before calling back to back
