18 chairs, 3 Licenses, plus an unassigned charge. Connecticut may be a pain in the tush for many things, but the staffing ratio requirements require that there be a 50/50 ratio minimum of licensed to unlicensed staff. It makes our budget tight, however the staffing conditions are much better. By the way, this is a DaVita unit.

DaVita isn't the source of the problem. We were hospital based up until they bought us out 1 1/2 years ago. There is good with the bad. I would advise that you research the facility that you are considering along with the Facility Administrator. A good facility administrator is an absolute must when you are just a small piece of a huge corporate entity. This is not a knock on DaVita, just a common thread in big business. I am an extremely particular person. I've had numerous jobs along two extremely different career paths. As an RN, I'm currently fairly content working for DaVita in a Northern Lights unit. I also realize that this has a lot to do with my administrator. Bottom line: Don't skip the chance at a position just because some folks have had bad experiences with DaVita. There are those of us who have done well by DaVita.
