I am a newly graduated RN and was offered a job with HCR almost immediately after applying. I am told that I will be getting a month-long training/orientation with one of the company's seasoned preceptors. I have heard some not-so-nice things about this company in general and was wondering if it would really be wisest to stay away from this employer. The rate of pay that was offered was by no means great, and the HR director told me that I would become responsible for 15-20 patients on a skilled unit. That seems like an awful lot to me! My student loans will need to start being repayed very soon. Any advice/guidance anybody can give me would be greatly appreciated.
