"Horrible"

What do you like about working at Amedisys?

"helping patients, the nurses and other clinicians. It allowed me to be debt free"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Getting the job was easy. All palliative NPs present as of Jan 2012 have resigned. They will hire you. They are desperate"

What don't you like about working at Amedisys?

"Non medical people try to dictate clinical decisions. The company is under investigations for medicaid fraud (again!) and has recently closed or consolodated 28 centers without employee warnings due to financial losses. Managment will lie and make up reasons to fire you if they do not like you despite your clinical skills and prior awards"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Stop telling lies to your employees and the public. Money is the bottom line. Palliative Care's goal, we were told was to ..funnel people into Hospice.... where the real money is.... Funny, I thought my job was to alleviate suffering in patients with life threatening illnesses. As our presenter pointed out you will not earn us money that way... the money is in Hopsice.. I watched in horror as he drew arrows representing my patients being funnelled into hospice, to demonstrate. I pictured cattle being funnelled to the slaughter. I had hopes that my patients would survive their chemo or illness. , but that was not their primary concern. When they did survive, I was told to ....check back every few months, maybe they are getting worse and we can get them into hospice.... I was horrified and disgusted. I could no longer work for this company and maintain my self respect as a clinician."
