Gentiva job offer, but lots of bad reviews from nurses. What do I do?

[midnightrose8504]

I have gotten a very nice offer from my local Gentiva HH. I currently work as an RN at a local hospital but I am not happy at all. The problem I have is all of the company reviews I have found are horrid. They range from unimaginable paperwork, to no home life bc of the paper work or being on call, to just being plain mean to the nursing staff. I want to leave my current job d/t the new job having better hours (day shift) and closer to home. But if the reviews are true then why would I leave my current job only to be hounded with sooo much work, on calls, and micromanaging that I am again unhappy?Do I need to address these acquations with the manager before accepting the job? Or do I need to turn it down all together? Or go into it and find out on my own?Does anyone on here have any experience with Gentiva HH? Any advice would be great because I am sick with worry that I am leaving a stable job I know for one I don't! One evil for another, u know!

I work in psych home health and I love it. Last week I had 40 visits but I have many patients in one building. We are required to do 25 visits per week but get paid for 40. The max patients the RN case mgrs are allowed to see per day is 10. So, if I have 40 visits in a week, I get paid for 55. Yesterday I saw 6 patients and I was home by 1pm. I drop off my son at 8:45 am and then I go out to see my patients. Most of the days of the week I am able to drop off my son and pick him up from school also. I am so glad to be out of the hospital and no longer having to work every other weekend and holiday. I can make my own schedule and I am not required to work weekends or holidays unless I want to. I make more money now than I ever did in the hospital. I don't get paid mileage but I have been keeping track of my miles with mileIQ and I plan to write it off on my taxes. This job is not for everyone though. I lucked out and got the nicer part of town so I don't end up in bad neighborhoods much. I love it and I think I have finally found a nursing job I actually enjoy. I was beginning to wonder if I needed to get out of nursing.
