Prós
Long work days during week but only required to work 60 hours every two weeks, generally works out to average of 60-65 hours biweekly. Easier to maintain life/family/work balance. About 25-50% chance you will have a LPN working on any given day in most clinics. Poor insurance offering, but does offer it, 401k, a small amount of PTO and CME money.
Contras
It almost feels like a money grab for all the new services, however, we do offer many services that have no reimbursement and feels more and more like primary care every day. On top of these new services continually being rolled out, they have decided to double book patients when LPN is there, so really no added help at all and adds chaos the the mix. Lpn’s are responsible for clinic duties such as call backs, daily work chores but rarely complete the tasks, thus leaving it to the already overworked Provider who is ultimately responsible for the clinic and patient care. Reporting does absolutely no good, they literally would have to stop showing up in order for any corrective action to occur. No bonuses, no cost of living adjustments, insurance is sub-par compared to hospitals in region you are a license sitting in a chair just waiting to be replaced by a new provider that has no idea of their worth as a provider and is willing to work for less.
