tothepointeLVN, LVN 2,246 Posts Specializes in Hospice / Ambulatory Clinic. Has 3 years experience. Nov 18, 2010 Not sure. I notice they keep on advertising the same jobs over and over again and never seem to fill them. I applied for a job there a year ago and when I logged on to apply for a similar position it told be I had already applied.Good luck!
Lonewolf7081 6 Posts Nov 18, 2010 I was told I got the job. But, HR would call me with an offer. Just wondering what I should expect. So, I don't get offered something to low. I know the avg is $17-$22 but I get more than that now where I am.

I have worked at a few places, and none are the best, you just have to decide what you want to tolerate. Get back to me.

sissykim 145 Posts Specializes in Med Surg,. Nov 19, 2010 I worked at Kindred it is the worst place I ever worked. I wished I never worked there, pleases enter with care, caution, and an exit plan. The clients are dead, kept alive on machines.

sissykim 145 Posts Specializes in Med Surg,. Nov 19, 2010 What is the difference? The families bring the money to Kindred, without the families to consent to treat, Kindred would not get paid. Would you want to just lay dead? Families are told there is hope, mom will recover, dad will breath again, your son has a chance after a fatal accident. We nurses know better. Their clients have tubes and machines to breath, pee, eat, clean blood, turn positions, medication to elevate heart rates, lower them, and pressures.... we haven't come up with a machine to think for clients just yet.

I think you missed the point. No need to reply. Thanks. Your looking for a fight, not going to give it. Move along.
