How was your experience with kindred?

I was once employed by a Kindred facility in North Texas. While their pay rates are competitive and they do hire new grads, they generally have a rather shady reputation as profit-driven cash cows. Kindred accepts the most difficult, highest acuity patients that have been rejected by other healthcare facilities.

How long have you worked there? How was your experience?

I don't hate it. The orientation was way too short(4 weeks for a new grad). 6 patients is hard. Really hard but you just have to accept nothing gets down on time and move on

Hi Atom2013

I was wondering how is work at kindred? I got an offer from a kindred in Florida and I am not sure if Its good idea for me to take it? I am also a new graduate and the orientation is for 6 weeks. I have heard so many bad things about kindred that I hesitate to accept the offer..
