What is the best part of working at the company?
Kitchen staff is kind and respectful 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part about working at this company is the workplace culture and lack of support from leadership when employee concerns arise. There is often an environment of gossip, favoritism, and passive-aggressive behavior among staff, which creates unnecessary tension during already stressful shifts.

Many employees feel closely watched or criticized over small issues while larger concerns involving morale, communication, and teamwork are ignored. Instead of fostering collaboration and professionalism, there can be a clique-like atmosphere that makes certain employees feel isolated or targeted.

Leadership communication also tends to feel inconsistent. Employees are expected to maintain high performance standards but often do not feel equally supported, defended, or heard. This creates emotional exhaustion over time and contributes significantly to workplace stress.

The job itself can be manageable, but navigating the interpersonal dynamics and lack of healthy workplace communication can make the environment mentally draining.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment can feel cliquish and unnecessarily tense at times. Leadership appears more focused on monitoring employees than supporting them, and communication between staff and management is often inconsistent. While there are hardworking people here, the culture would improve significantly with more professionalism, accountability, and respect among both leadership and coworkers.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day involves balancing patient monitoring responsibilities while also navigating inconsistent communication and workplace tension between staff and leadership. The workload itself is manageable most days, but the environment can sometimes feel more stressful than the actual job due to gossip, favoritism, and lack of team cohesion.

It’s a good place to work at, if you want to gain different kind of experiences and work hard.  There, you will work with a wide range of patients: the ones who are alert and oriented x3 and independent to the ones who are comatose.  Your challenging patients are the ones in between: who are noncompliant, confused, combative, and/ cannot be redirected.  You will work with people on vents, feeding tubes, IV’s, ect.  People with wound vacs, JP drains, wound cares, etc.  
Be prepared to work hard.  Most of the times, it will be physically, mentally, and emotionally draining for you.  Especially because it is a 12-hours shift and you do rounds every 2 hours.  On the floor, they only have tiled floors, thus you will be standing and walking all day on hard floors.  Eventually, your legs and feet will hurt.  But, since you only work 3 days per week, thus you will have 4 days to rest.  This is also a good thing, if you have other things going on in your life such as school, kids, etc.  However, I wouldn’t recommend working another part time job while you work here full time because you can be scheduled on the days that you will be working at your other job.  If that happens, then you must find someone to trade with you or call in.  There is no block schedule here.  However, you can choose the days that you want to work.  And, they will give it to you, IF they can.  No guarantees though.   
Regency is a small hospital thus everyone knows everyone.  They have a big parking lot right next to the hospital for customers and employees to use, and it’s free!  The people that I worked with are nice and hardworking, thus the teamwork was great!  I worked hard but I had a lot of fun and learned a lot of things.  Plus, the good teamwork made the work tolerable.

I had great enthusiasm for working at this facility, and meshed well with the employees.  There existed a terrible lack of leadership and discipline in that facility, and that continued to deteriorate to the point I knew I did not wish to be further associated with it.  Many of the staff members exhibited an absolute lack of work ethic, no sense of responsibility, and no sense of ownership of the facility.  Cursing was the norm, as well as singing and dancing in the nursing station.  This was never addressed by managers/administrators.  The environment was an embarrassment to those staff members who did practice professionalism.

We specialized in Ventilator/trach patients, and in complex wound care.  I manage vent patients very well, and enjoyed that part of the work very well.  With those patients, I spent most of the time in the rooms providing patient care, and teaching/educating patients and families about the plan of care, meds, treatments, procedures.  This allowed me to develop close relationships with them.  This was extremely gratifying.

I worked in Case Management, as well.  This was a happy experience, and one from which I gained a great deal of knowledge.

Pro:  Very nice hourly wage.  Pt's are so ill that the priority is on pt needs rather than so-called "productivity" as in SNF settings.  At first this was a very comfortable & welcoming scenario.  Then the snide comments from THE UNIT SECRETARY (how does she get away with such rude behavior?)...Because the CNO plays favorites & changes the rules as she goes along.  Then the closest co-workers made it clear that this employee was not welcome in their little circle of 3.  I was told by the one employee I felt I could trust that they liked to gossip about me...I am still puzzled as to what was so interesting about me that it warranted gossip.  No teamwork including me in our dept.  

When I 1st started the job, I kept hearing how much better the situation was before Select bought the company.  I always said I was glad I hadn't been here then so I had nothing to compare it to.  People were afraid to speak freely & I was told by my supervisor not to say anything I didn't want everyone to know because "the walls had ears".

When I made my 1st serious error, I was told I would be written up.  The next thing I know I am fired.  Recently I was told that a recently graduated person has been hired to do the job I was doing.  That means this person is able to be paid much less than I was being paid.  I really feel that management was looking for an excuse to terminate me because of my high rate of pay.

This is not a company to be trusted.  The bottom line has become money.  I felt really good about my job until the gross unfairness became evident.

A typical day at work was extremely long and stressful.  I dug my heels in and learned all the duties of the job and received kudos from many fellow employees for a job well done.  I was asked during my initial interview for a full-time job if I was willing to work per diem for a while and I said absolutely not.  I needed fulltime to meet my budget. Management told me they would make it work for me to be full-time. 
Later I found out another employee was put on nights and I was given her day shift. Of course she was upset and resentful toward me thinking I had manipulated to make that happen.  I did not.  I was unable to work nights and that is what I told them during interview. As time went on and the census was consistently low, my hours were cut to parttime and then per diem.  I feel that I spent nearly 6 months spinning my wheels only to be looking for another job, however, I am grateful for the skills I learned as a unit clerk, especially how to prioritize work and how to think on my feet during a crisis.
The 12 hour shifts were difficult and made for a very long and tiring day.  The enjoyable part of the job was knowing I did a good job to help patients and their families endure a crisis in their lives during very very acute illness.

Honestly,  they pay very well with decent benefits. They also encourage getting CCRN certification thru reimbursement for the test as well as quarterly bonuses upon completion thereafter. However, the work can be GRUELING. They were still doing manual charting when I left with double and triple charting all over the place. Management is straight up UNPROFESSIONAL going on tyrades talking to the night shift like we're dogs in front of all other staff on floor and patients after we dared to have a difficult night. I have NEVER come across a boss so disrespectful, jumping the gun and profoundly unsupportive of their staff. There is also an enormous amount of computer modules month after month where you actually have to schedule live classes frequently (and must"attend" these classes for However many hours required)....all while also working your full time hours and attend meetings. Yes, they pay you for your time but many people have families and other things to do besides work all the time. It wouldn't be so bad if they would allow you to use one of your schedule days to do the stuff but for night shift, the live classes are impossible.

Worked for this company for almost two years. Nurse to patient ratio very unsafe. Management does not care at all and will not help you. Don''t leave the place and expect a good reference. They will find something negative to say and you will not land another position. Aides can be very lazy and no where to be found throughout the day. There is no team work at all. I wouldn't let my dog be care for in this facility. Left the facility because everyday I was on edge and I felt my nursing license was at risk at soon as I walked in the door. This place uses agency nurses all the time and the quality of care sucks. Nurses are very nasty towards anyone new coming into work. Very stressful, unorganized, and non team oriented environment. Management should be replaced also. Treated very unfairly and poor. Quality of care is not a priority. If you are nurse expect a 1:6 patient ration everyday. I don't even understand why this establishment is still open. Please don't waste your time, better yet don't give them the benefit of something happening and you will not have a license any longer.

The RN's as a whole are very compassionate, caring, understanding, and knowledgeable of their roles with the exception of less than one handful. 
  The team work amongst the STNA's is very poor. There seems to be a sense of competition for superiority and recognition at works. 
  Regarding management it is from my experience that should You Prove To Be A Valuable Asset To The Company {my emphasis}; if you need support for personal matters. The director shows great emotional support and care. However, with that being said when it comes to management addressing and following through with disciplinary action against STNA's with poor work ethics and or questionable skill related competencies (that they have deemed a bias "A Valuable Asset" they gravely fall short. 
  Hardest part of the job I found was to be the injustice of favoritism, and the lack of communication partnered with quality and integrity of patient care declining.

Critical Care/Med Surge positions. Lots of vented patients there for respiratory failure. Lots of trachs, vents, G tubes, and NG tubes.


Pros: 
The staff is amazing! No drama and everyone helps each other out. I could always rely on RTs, CNAs, and other nurses to help at any given time. Everyone is friendly and actually does their job. The doctors and practitioners answer their phones and they have no problem if you use their personal number to get an answer. 
Management is approachable and is constantly checking on you to see if things are going good. The facility is clean and there's supplies for everything you need.  
Pick up bonuses $200-300 per shift. You will make lots of money there!
Cons: 
1:5 patient ratio. You will work for that paycheck. Med pass is at 1000 and you'll have up to 40 meds for all 5 patients that need to be completed in 2 hours. I always feel like I don't stop moving. Real time charting is a big deal. Sadly, 4 of my patients have died due to their conditions in the 4 months I've been there.


Most of the work that is required is pretty much routine with exceptions of course.  I find that this job is very physically demanding.  Much of the population are unable to care for themselves in the most simple of ADL tasks.  With having many ventilated patients and the rest are mostly serious wound care it requires diligence, focus and physical body strength.  My co-workers at RHC in S.C.  are probably the best team players that I have encountered with exception of being a soldier in the US Army.  As I said the physical demands are the worst part of the job.  The most rewarding is to see your patients recover; come of the vent. or the wounds are healed and they resume their lives to a standard of healthy living that they are satisfied with and know that you had a huge part in that process.  To "hear" the words "Thank you for everything that you did for me".....that is my reward.  They appreciate the contribution of skill and caring that aided their healing process
