Pros
From the first day of orientation, Shepherd Center makes it clear that its employees are expected to uphold a professional and friendly atmosphere and that is mostly what I have experienced working there. That makes a hard job easier to do. Also, the rate of pay is decent compared to many other PCT/CNA jobs I have seen in the area. PRN employees are often needed, valued, and paid well. I would recommend this place to other PCTs/CNAs.
Cons
It can be a very physically demanding job. Most patients are paralyzed or mentally impaired such that they will rely heavily on you for help with ADLs. However, the patient to care-giver ratio is usually 4:1 so that helps keep the workload manageable.
