Visiting Nurse Health System

This company is the oldest home care agency in the state of GA (approximately 60 years old). Unfortunately, it still functions like it did 60 years ago. The operational system has not grown at the same pace of the company's business. The company takes on more business than it is clinically able to accommodate. The documentation system is extremely antiquated.

The management team is incompetent. The company tends to promote people to management based on years of experience and not on their critical thinking skills, leadership skills or ability to manage people. The managers are disrespectful to their staff and often show favoritism. The company appears to reward employees with the poorest work ethic as opposed to those who demonstrate skill & dedication to the organization. The company has no regard for an employee's level of education/expertise. They will hire a high school graduate and a person with a master's degree to do the same job. 

There is no work life balance. The company expects employees to take work home to complete without compensation as opposed to re-structuring a typical work day. There is high employee turnover. Employee morale is very low. 

I would not recommend this organization to any one who wants to work in a professional environment where strong work ethics/values are appreciated.

Good company to work for in regards to their integrity of the level of care provided to their patients along with the families. They are very open to giving their nurses extensive input into setting their visit scheduling and flexibility needs autonomously which makes work less stressful and more enjoyable. I am currently working PRN due to my request to cut back from fulltime for the short-term to handle some personal issues I have encountered over the last few months.

The main reason I do not want to return to this position fulltime is due to the extensive amount of driving necessary to complete daily patient interactions. Some of my previous case management positions enabled me to work from a central location and complete the assessments, updates and teaching needs of my patients without the driving requirements.

I am looking for some new opportunities still in the case management field but without the need to drive constantly around the Atlanta area. Having previously worked as a telephonic case manager I am really looking forward to getting back to that form of giving my care to my patients.

VNHS- Hospice Atlanta is confusing at the start. Who do you work for? VNHS? Hospice Atlanta? My orientation experience was pleasant but very disorganized. I did not have a plan set for my orientation and some of that was disrupted by my own personal unexpected events, however, no plan was in place before or after. It was a daily guessing game. I was an experienced nurse, so I could go with the flow of “nursing”, however learning specific processes for this company was necessary for me to perform my job. That was not taught to me in an organized manner outside of “corporate orientation”. I’m thankful for one preceptor for actually telling me what I needed to know and being amazing ! She was great from the beginning until I chose to leave. This company does not follow CMS guidelines. They make staff tell patients lies that are in conflict with their CMS hospice benefit. They sugarcoat their own results from accreditation bodies. They are a 2 star company and that’s not good. The nurses are great. The care provided is amazing but some of the leadership is phony. 

I have worked for this Company for 5 years and although it's had its ups and downs mostly with staffing and high turnover rates, things have been changing here lately. In addition to working with an amazing staff, Visiting Nurse has been a great place to grow professionally, learn new skills and cross train in other areas like Business Development and Billing. With the new leadership in place for the past year comes a POSITIVE cultural switch, geared to the mission. I really have enjoyed:

- A great mission that truly drives everyone to give their all everyday and focus on patient care
- Autonomy is encouraged across departments
- Internal transfers from department to department are encouraged
- Casual dress for a more relaxed environment
- Snacks and employee treats often provided
- Good PDO accrual rate, flexible management on scheduled time off
- Financial and Company goals transparency from leadership team

A very "clique" oriented  environment. If you challenge anything, you will be black marked and pushed out. Very, very unprofessional recruitment tactics and violate HR laws with regards to employment verification. Management is awful, never know what is going on, will be texting, calling at all hours and scheduling endless training, skills, education, meetings, etc and still expect all visits completed no matter what time it is...schedulers either like you or not, constant procedural changes without notification and absolutely no "teamwork" -  if  a co-worker has been there longer - you are at their disposal and have to earn their approval....Don't believe the hype - have outrageous turnover at all levels and no better than other agencies. Only accept a job here if you want to go back to "highschool" and have no personal life...By far the worst job in my 14 years of nursing...

Working at VNHS has been a truly positive experience. The organization fosters a supportive and collaborative environment where staff are encouraged to grow both personally and professionally. Leadership is approachable, communicative, and genuinely invested in the well-being of employees, which creates a sense of trust and stability in the workplace. Team members work well together, offering help and encouragement whenever it’s needed, and the culture promotes compassion, respect, and high-quality patient care. VNHS provides meaningful opportunities to make a real difference in the lives of patients and their families, which adds purpose and fulfillment to the work. Training and resources are readily available, allowing employees to feel confident and prepared in their roles. Overall, VNHS is a great place to work, offering a positive atmosphere, supportive leadership, and a mission-driven approach that makes each day rewarding. I highly recommend VNHS as an employer.

VNHS definitely provides a pleasant work environment and there is opportunity for growth. My ability to multi-task and remain flexible in a work environment has vastly improved since being with VNHS. Although management has changed frequently and our department has been through major restructuring, morale has been decent.  The most difficult part of the job is adapting to the constant restructuring and lack of established processes. The most enjoyable aspect of my job is the pleasant work relationships that I have developed and maintained over the past several years. Our Intake department is often the first voice or interaction that patients and referral sources have with Visiting Nurse,  and I truly believe that a pleasant work environment promotes great productivity and customer service.

Company constantly changed processes sometimes multiple times in 1 day.  Very difficult for managers to be on one accord. Too many emails and not enough personal connections with team. When you wanted to share concerns, avoidance from the managers was prevelant.  Many excuses made and not enough solutions. They became numbers driven and lost sight of the big picture goals. When the job ends, you have no opportunity to have closure with internal relationships and the accounts you worked hard to nurture and grow. There was no concern to do a proper handoff for the good of the customer and for me who had made great contributions to advancing the organizations goals amid the challenges.

- checked list of physician's orders to be followed up on daily basis and got physician's signature.
- Learned to use VNHS tools and operated on data base to make sure information are accurate and up to date regarding patients and physicians.
- Focused on internal culture, mission and policies in term of confidentiality, respect, courtesy, timeline, goals, objectives, communication and right attitude. Learned also from failures.
- The hardest part of the job consisted in reaching the physician over the phone to get orders signed on time. Sometimes physicians left the recorded location without leaving there new contact.
- The most enjoyable part of the job was to satisfy internal and external clients and reaching my goals when the weekly team score was published and I was the best employee many times.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The Flexibility was good and my manager wasn’t a micromanager. Also the pay was decent compared to other companies around. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Holding over 75 clients per month and it being unorganized since Covid and everything falling on new employees

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s good everyone gets alone probably because most positions are work from home 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Contact clients, check in with supervisor, check emails, complete visits with clients. Document Document Document!!
