Genesis healthcare

[nurse&mom]

Wow. That is all I can say. I went on an interview this week for one of their LTC centers. It was the wrost place i have ever walked through. The pay is great but not worth it.

I am going to a privately owned LTC place instead. It is a couple of dollard less an hour but it is so nice.

Does anyone have any experience with one of the Genesis healthcare centers?

I agree bad place to work - clean enough but it is the patient care = only the minimum and management a horror as they are driven by the for profit creed....

I don't doubt that management gives bad references as they were all so petty and most people that left did not leave on the best of terms...I felt as if my liscence was in jeporady on a daily basis due to understaffing, acuity beyond the capibilities of the staff, etc. I was no more than a warm body to fill a shift...Genesis corporate is just as bad as the facility I worked for ...Stay away from Genesis.

I did not respond to this posting many times but this company and the industry of LTC (as I have experienced it) still makes me angry and against my better judgement...

I agree stay away from Genesis and Manorcares. They are evil companies.

In what area have you been to Genesis facilities? Just asking because I am a new grad RN and have an upcoming interview with them...

[Daffodil08]

That sounds terrible. In what areas have you worked/been to Genesis facilities? Just curious bc I am a new grad RN and have an upcoming interview with them...

Not all genesis' are the same

The Genesis that I am refering to is in Philipsburg NJ.

Sorry - I do not know who reads these posts and as I said I do not trust my former managers. Each Genesis facility is independently run. Some may be better than others...but I have had my run ins with corporate as well as local management.

I see LTC as an industry that is corrupt and a toxic place to work. I am sure you have read the postings about LTC

You need a job - go get that job - go get that experience but

be warned, be wary, protect that new liscence - good luck

Hi there. I'm a new grad who just got my RN and may be interviewing at a Genesis healthcare facility in PA. Is anyone acquainted with the PA facilities? Daffodil, did you eventually work at Genesis? How'd it go?

[lexie5686]

I worked for a Genesis in NJ. And I did not like it. When I left there The DON was giving me bad references and it took me about one year to figure out it was her. You can try working there and if you do not like it you can always move on.

I think I'll check it out. I discovered the medicare website that offers comparisons of nursing homes and it rates 4 out of 5 stars, which is promising. Hope the DON is better than the one in NJ. Thanks for your feedback.
