Hi Badbird, I've worked for Interim in Louisville Ky,(Home Health),Tulsa Okla, and St Louis Mo, for hospital staffing. I think they are a good company to work for. The pay isn't always on top of the scale but this is one reason they can keep nurses working. Some times the people in the local office aren't friendly, but they are always a phone call away. What I like about this company, is if you say don't call me at 5 A.M. except to cancel, they don't. Not all companies get that message. Good Luck I think you will like working with Interm

Angry Falsly accused
Falsly accused I was accused of something on my last job and I dont know how to rectify this,since this happened they say that I have been de-activated and that I am no longer employed by them. This has been the only job that I have had for the last 7 years and I would have to use them as a reference,so this is a mess. I only need to work part time untill I retire but not working now will cause me not to be able to continue to exist financially,and might cause me to even loose my home.I guess what I need to know is!!!! How do I make them prove what I was supposed to have done? Dippierose@aol.com

I worked for them in S. C....but wish I have never done so! Money rarely correct, and had a hard time back then getting their checks cashed! They had no direct deposit at the time, and it was a hassle getting paid! Also they don't back you when a problem comes up. Didn't happen to me, but to others I knew!
I also agree...office staff wasn't very friendly in S. C. either, and they weren't nurses, and no clue as to what we did, or didn't do!

I worked for them as per diem...and yes the pay was much lower then the agencies I left them for! There's a lot of other things I could say about them, but it happened a long time ago...at least about 7 or 8yrs ago, and things might have changed. But I just know they left a bad enough taste in my mouth...that I wouldn't even bother to try, and work for them again....even it there the last agency left...along with one other company!

I used to work on an interim care unit. I really don't know if this is reflective of interim care in general, but I found it really frustrating. It takes a lot out of the elderly to adjust to noe place ant its staff and then have to move. I was also frustrated with its "we are just here to warehouse people" mentality. No rehab services were available and we were forced to pick up way to much of that slack (eg. if we had a patient who fell and broke their hip). But then again, maybe my employment (not a private facility) were just cheap b****rds.

Hey there adrienurse\\

I think this post is about the company named "Interim Health Care" an agency, not about interim care units. Sometimes I read threads very fast too.

My mistake. I need to actually start reading posts.
Okay, we have Interim Health Care, the agency here. It was renamed Bayshore in this area. Apparently there was too much confusion between Intern and interim. I have found that the caliber of the staff seems to have improved over the las couple of years.
