Pros
Great coworkers, 8 hour shifts. If you adore the geriatric population you'll enjoy it. CNA to patient ratio on a good day was 1:8. Pay is descent. Some very good nurses and LPNs that were willing to help the CNA. Overall not a bad experience. Just get your job done, treat everyone with respect and it'll be smooth sailing. you'll even have some down time on a quiet day. There was never disciplinary action for calling off. Some people would "no call no show" and still have their job. Lots of lovely activities for the patients. Scheduler does try and accommodate to your schedule. Good place to work if working and going to school.
Cons
Usually short staffed. If you're a newbie you'll be the first to be bumped off your "permanent" run. 200 hall is long term and patient workload is heavier, yet you'll have more patients there than in other halls. Morning shifts are very busy, never felt like there was enough time. If there are good coworkers, then guess what there are bad ones too!
