Weekends (short staffed constantly so your asked for more all the time). Terrible work/life balance
Management constantly changing the way tedious clinic tasks are charted, which complicates the 14 different usernames and passwords the NP already has.
Sub-contracted schedule = the NP is required to meet a certain number of weekend days, Mondays & Fridays even if you have the PTO (and someone you’ve never met is managing your schedule (ie,. Life)
Floating to clinics 1 hour+ from home (even though your home clinic may be open, they float NP’s to the busier clinics which makes for terrible continuity of care
MC is moving more towards a family practice setting so your basically running the clinic on your own in the back of a CVS (even though they will say “goal is to double staff”- they never will/can due to high turnover
8 day training- new grads on their own with no support (complex system and disgruntled patients who have no patience to wait)
Patients make their own appointments from home (timing is off- so if NP goes to lunch a bit later -patients show up angry that you are required to take lunch)
All services are timed according to what administrators deem appropriate-so if the NP has a complicated patient (or service) too bad. The computer will continue to let patients sign in late
