Pros

You have a lot of the perks of being a charge nurse but with none of the responsibility. Unless you take up those responsibilities under your own initiative. Pay for most is around 12 to 16 dollars a hour bi weekly pay periods Health dental and eye insurance I'm not sure if this is still a thing but they had a deal with golds gym for a 10 dollar a pay period membership. They also used to have staff meals twice a week. In house training tuition reimbursement unlimited hours. They'll let you work until the state intervenes. Then pay you under the table.

Cons

By the time your a CMT you should have experienced all the downsides of nursing already. Delmar isn't any different than other homes. Its just bigger and cleaner. The facility isn't necessarily the issue its the system as a whole and the people you care for. If your looking for a experience to crush the fundamental sense of joy you get form caring for people start here. - Health dental and eye insurance. Health insurance is very expensive compared to what it offers 350 dollars for a ER visit plus whatever the insurance company can weasel its way out of paying for. Dental and eye is ok and pretty cheap. -I'm not sure if this is still a thing but they had a deal with golds gym for a 10 dollar a pay period membership. Golds closes after evening shift gets out so its a bad option for anyone who works evenings. -They also used to have staff meals twice a week. When I left they weren't very good any more. -Tuition reimbursement. After you do this they own you for 2 years and they treat you as such. -Unlimited hours. They'll let you work until the state intervenes. Then pay you under the table. Keep in mind that is done because of continuous staffing issues. Every position works short . But is expected to have assistance with most tasks. Your so short it almost never happens though so you have to hide what your doing from admin. Admin is well aware of this and only really enforces it when it needs to make a show of strength, to appease a angry family or state.

Pros

There is absolutely NOTHING positive about this dump

Cons

I don't even know where to begin.... 1. Absolutely NO form of security. No cameras anywhere inside or out. So if something is stolen from your car, purse, etc, nobody can do anything about it because there's no proof. Even if you know who did it, won't matter unless you have physical proof. The excuse given for no cameras? It's for resident privacy. Hospitals have cameras. Other nursing homes have cameras. Hell McDonalds has cameras. 2. All staff is NEVER held accountable for anything. Most of your supervisors are too busy being friends with staff to do any sort of discipline. 3. Corporate doesn't care about the building itself. They are more concerned about looks compared to being actually functional 4. Benefits are absolute crap! You can tell Corporate did no form of negotiations to actually find staff decent insurance for an actual affordable price. The health insurance barely covers anything. Vision insurance is a company that hardly anyone uses anywhere so good luck finding someone that will take it. Dental is the only thing that is actually worth getting. You don't get PTO until after you've been there for a year. Only job I've ever had that makes you wait that long. 5. The building itself is constantly falling apart. And corporate does nothing to put money back into the building for it to be fixed. They expect maintenance to basically put a bandaid over everything constantly.
