You would never leave a hospital job without finishing your charting. They don't chart at the bedside, they save it for home at night, and then they complain about work/life balance. Many of those who aren't successful in hospice do not know how to manage their time. If not, the job will get away from you, and you'll constantly be playing catchup. To do it, and to do it right, you have to do what you're supposed to do, when you're supposed to do it. Unfortunately, hospice is a hard job that requires a great amount of personal standards and responsibility. This is definitely it for me and I will never work for another Hospice company or healthcare provider. I am so very thankful that my previous colleague did not give up on me and brought me back to this wonderful company. The cultural and the support they put into this company for training, and everyday patient care is top notch. I have now been employed with Affinity Hospice for a little over 6 months, and I still have the same feeling that I had on day 1. As stated, I had worked for another hospice provider in the area, prior to working for Good Samaritan, but it was nothing like Affinity. The acquisition was the best thing that could have happened for Good Samaritan and those of us who left had missed out on great things. About a week into this, I knew this was it for me. I accepted and began my orientation process. After a week-long interview process, I had a job offer. I finally gave in and went to interview with them. A colleague that I used to work with at Good Samaritan kept reaching out to me and telling me how wonderful Affinity was. I worked in a different field for 2 years following this. It was just the change that made everyone fear. When Affinity obtained Good Samaritan a lot of employees were scared and many left, I was one of them. I had worked in hospice for 8 years total and had never gone through a merger/acquisition. I worked at Good Samaritan Hospice prior to the merger.
