Weisman Childrens Rehabilitation Hospital

I loved working at Weisman. The patient’s were amazing, and I felt like I was making a difference. I enjoyed working with the families and helping them learn. Although, the hard hard was working with the other staff. A lot of the staff were so genuine, compassionate, and kind, but some were a bit questionable. There is very little diversity and a lot of ignorance and entitlement with some of the staff. With that said, others made it   crystal  clear that they felt nothing was wrong when certain issues were brought up and these issues were quickly swept under the rug. Also, they tell nurses that you only get 3 or 4 patients but be prepared to take 6 or 7 sometimes. They do not have nurse to patient ratio limits which is extremely unsafe especially when dealing with pediatric patients. Additionally, nursing and therapy have a very poor relationship. So be prepared to advocate for yourself as well at your patients even when others make it difficult. Not to mention, the hourly rates are very low and there are no raises. 

If you’re looking for experience and that’s all you need, then by all means work here. But a fair warning, management is subpar to say it nicely. The administration doesn't know their jobs. The admin are social workers who don’t have any knowledge on actual nursing. It’s highschool all over, with cliques and favoritism.  Raises were promised and never given, even after talking to admin, instead gave excuses on why nurses weren’t eligible for the raise. Admin doesn’t take advice from their nurses which in turn makes our jobs harder. I stayed a year then left because the environment was jeopardizing the safety of my license. No crash carts on unit, life saving supplies in another hallway through locked door, we’re just a few things that made me weary. “Rules” changed as administrators saw fit, so one day it could be one thing and the next it’s something totally different. As a nurse I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you’re looking to jam yourself up.

I would suggest working here as a starting point. You learn so much and it definitely prepares you for being a well-rounded therapist. I definitely wouldn't suggest working here long-term, financially you are short changed and there's no budging on that. PTO and holiday pay are terrible, not much wiggle room and federal holidays are apart of your PTO bank, it's not automatic pay. There's definitely work politics, but that's anywhere. If you are a minority be weary, there are definitely micro and macro aggressions. There's a lot of bashing regarding the rehab director amongst the senior staff. It's really best to just stay out of the way. Support and advice is dependent on the rapport that you have with senior staff. But when they do, it can be very helpful. Would suggest working and staying as neutral as possible. Everyone can be sweet or professionally polite.

This had to be the worst place to work in my life. You lack work/life balance. The expectation is you must be available at all times. The senior leadership does not accept accountability. Leadership attempts to be a professional bully. Too many unnecessary steps to complete tasks. Knowing there is under staffing yet refuses to hire any qualified candidates to fill the position. Instead, makes the BOM feel bad when task are not completed, The business office  is a stressor. I do not recommend working in the business office. 

Don't bother applying here. This company does nothing for their employees.  No raise, no bonuses, no advancement and horrible medical insurance.  The "rules" change daily. You can't trust management to have your back either.  The " top employees " seem to be thriving but us, on the front lines, we're struggling and NO ONE CARES!!!   
**  You even have to use your PTO for nationally recognized holidays!!!  
The ONLY great thing about this place is seeing the children receive wonderful care!!!

Close knit work environment, just about everyone makes you feel welcomed and helps out. Good management, they made you feel valued and important. I would definitely recommend this as a place to work. Not sure what they pay nursing assistants now but at the time I worked there I believe it was $10 - $11 an hr. I was per diem but I did get to make my schedule so it was beneficial.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The flexibility of the hours and the staff is great. We are all a team and it feels like it 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I don’t feel stressed about anything 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great work environment! And very diverse group of people 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy but in a great way   The best part is working with all the kids

you don’t have much room to advance & business office has the worst person in charge (ebony) and they expect too much for too little money. It’s honestly sad because the kids are amazing, the parents are amazing, but the management is a joke.  Ebony doesn’t do her job but tells everyone else what and how things should be done, all while she can’t even use our phones or software correctly. 

At this time in my social work education I shadowed Licensed Social Worker in the following:
      o	Interdisciplinary team meetings
      o	Online research for patients in need of community services
      o	General office support
I enjoyed working with the interdisciplinary team to see that the children and their families were receiving the best care possible.

I really enjoyed working here because the team creates a fun, supportive, and collaborative environment. Everyone is friendly, willing to help, and easy to talk to, which makes the workplace feel comfortable. Management communicates well, and the overall culture encourages learning, teamwork, and growth. It’s a great place to gain experience and feel appreciated.
