Shepherd Center

Staff to patient ratio is very suitable, daily. You can expect to have no more than 6 patients on a single shift depending on sufficient staffing. Team work is top tier in most cases, though you may have some staff whose character is to simply do “their” job and nothing more. My supervisor is the best, overall. There are managers and supervisors per each unit but most times I solely deal with my direct supervisor who is over the PRN/FLOAT team. All in all, everyone is fair and work together effectively. If you’re compassionate, respectable, kind, and there to really do your job and go home, Shepherd is the place for you! Like any other establishment you’ll have coworkers that build personal friendships outside of work, I simply go there to care for patients and focus on doing my duties. I keep work and personal life completely separate. The most enjoyable part about working at Shepherd is witnessing the outstanding transformation of most patients, their progressions and the diligence of the nursing and therapy teams who work together for a greater outcome of our patients. Shepherd center really changes and shapes the lives of patients before returning to the outside world. The hardest part is witnessing some cases who turn out to be the least successful. Having some stressful days is a given, though, good days have been on a higher degree for me these past years! 

Typical day at work is busy, I learned about from working at Shepherd, you must have a work life balance and if not they provide all the tools and programs to help you meet that balance. The management is very professional and caring and workplace culture is definitely diverse. The hardest part of my job was my commute, I was transitioning from Florida to Georgia and the traffic became very overwhelming. The most enjoyable part of my job at Shepherd was coming to work and being able to interact and work with your fellow coworkers. Shepherd is growing daily by the minute and you have to be on board for change or you will set yourself up for failure. They maintain employee retention and again just an awesome family to be apart of.

Management is great, but this also depends on the unit you work in. Nurse-to-patient ratios are very reasonable. I feel that management cares to hear your voice and and I have witnessed positive changes from this. Pay is also good, and the bonds formed with patients and families are amazing.

Shepherd is a good company with a relaxed culture and an environment that cares about its patients. When I have been there in center everyone is nice and respectful. During my time here I have noticed some favoritism and some difficult coworkers but that is normal. No where is perfect. Now I have found out that the company is very hard to grow with and it takes a while to get promoted or a position to open up. They also do things by seniority which is very limiting.
