Anyone work for Maxim home health/ agency?

We have Maxim for a few years now as a staffing agency, companies like Maxim are truly only interested in making money and don't give a **** about people (nurse or client). We would like to move with our agency, unfortunately, Maxim is the best of the worse in our area. This is the reason why we would like to start our own Home Health agency to be able to recruit, hire, and retain nurse we like.

The staffing coordinators are young college graduates who are in training for management jobs, communication skills are lacking, they often lie to us and they will confess about their dishonest and say ‘SORRY’ as lying to us is ok. They are always confused in their communications with nurses and clients. You may have to be persistent in reminding individuals about things.

I strongly recommend putting schedule requests in writing and always follow up with an email, have them email you back, that way you have your own personal copy. Emailing is one of the best forms of communication, both of you has the proof that you notified them!

My best recommendation is to stay away from Maxim as fast as you can.

We have Maxim here in Spokane, and I fully agree about how bad Maxim is. They, and other agencies, have grown like maggots all over the country, taking control of nursing. Paying us crap, and reaping the rewards of our hard work.

Nurses need to become Independant Contractors, and hire our selves out, the way doctors and CRNAs do. Sell your services back to the hospital, and YOU call the shots. JMHO and my NY $0.02.
