It’s a job that requires almost no qualifications -good for HS teens, the residents are amazing and I loved every second I spent with THEM.
Cons
The leadership is horrible - you get made to feel like you’re committing a crime for calling out with plenty of notice and get nothing but attitude. The pay rate is insultingly low considering they want you to do the job of a nurse. They don’t take DSP (who spend the most time with residents) seriously when they have concerns or suggestions on a residents care. They have no regard for staffs safety when it comes to violent residents. Truly the worst place I’ve worked.
