Loved working here
Critical Care Charge and Staff RN (Former Employee), Tulsa, OK – May 3, 2013
Pros: everything
Cons: none near my home at present
I would return in a minute. Some politics but not enough to make you unhappy. Work is great and team work is a plus. Salary is awesome. Overall I would try it . If youve never done LTAC it is the right place to try it. Benefits are pretty good as well. Critical care experience is not necessary . just be comfortable with vents.

My favorite job
Patient Service Specialist (Former Employee), Ellicott City, MD – February 11, 2013
Pros: i got to talk to everyone!
Cons: it sometimes got busy.
A typical day at work included greeting patients, scheduling appointments in person and on the phone, registering new patients, collecting copays, entering billing information, generating reports, insurance verification, cleaning exam rooms, maintaining the waiting room, and laundry.
My coworkers were very friendly and fun. We still keep in touch and – more... I left six years ago.
The hardest part of the job was when there were several patients waiting for help and I was alone at the front desk. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to greet and talk to everyone who came in and out. – less

It's fast past long hours but enjoyable and fun
Unit Secretary (Current Employee), Augusta, GA – January 28, 2013
Pros: working 12hrs shifts, 3-4 day off, and only work ever other weekend
Cons: point system, patients coming is at shif change
A typical day for me at Select is to first make coffee for staff,then go to my station greet physicians and all co-workers and begin my day.I make sure copyer and fax machine is filled,check all message to see if the night shif secretary left any messages for me to follow up on any orders that a physician may have written the night befor. I have learned – more... the physicians and what their speciaity is. Management at Select is good, you will alway have someone there to go to for questions. With my co-worker I try and help where ever I can. I would say the hardest part of my job is not being able to help every family member.The most enjoyabe part of my job is getting to know the patients and their family. – less

positive fun work place
Patient Account Rep (Former Employee), Mechanicsburg, PA – December 20, 2012
Pros: free lunch for holidays, enough breaks
Cons: women, drama, jealousy, lead has thick skin, manager and most there could be fake
i learned about how to invest, and detect reasons why for zero pays. i would call insurer and investigate the date of services if it had authorization most insurances will retro auth some others dont so if a date of service has no auth and insurer will not pay for no auth, it'll be wrote off to bad debt and that would be the clinics fault for not receiveing – more... auth that day of service, it'llnver b the patients responsibility for the clinic's mistake they'll get a free therapy due to mistakes clinics make almost everyday. This company could be i danger in the future and could go out of business if they dont teach those working in the clinics in Texas New Jersey and Flordia. We were a team of in-patient accounts. i learned how to mailed claims out to patients and insurer's with medical notes and anything needed to get the money in the door, being in th collections team thats what is always good! my goal monthly was 10% income. At least review and make changes to 15 accounts or more. Very Important just focus on work not on anybody but your j.o.b. the hardest part was just dealing with hearing all the drama and being new it was hard. i didnt think it was professional. – less

Great place to work, I enjoyed going to work everyday.
Accounts Receivable Collector (Former Employee), King of Prussia, PA – August 31, 2012
Pros: great company, understanding and caring management with great employee's.
NovaCare (Select Medical Corp.) was a great company. When Select Medical bought NovaCare it was financially unsound. So they restructured the company which meant closing billing offices all over the country. After being told King of Prussia office would never close unfortunatly they closed and moved everything to Mechanicsburg billing office.

Therapist (Former Employee), Kessler – August 12, 2012
Pros: na
Cons: pay, unequal treatment, always threat to be fired, overload of work
I would never ever recommend this company to work. I am a physical therapist at Kessler and working on visa. My superviser does not have enough knowledge to guide PT abd OT team. The superviser always raise hus/ her hands and directly forwards the issue to the regional director. They always threatned me to fire me as I am on visa. When i joined Kessler, – more... they never gave orientation. I learned frm other coworkers and with experiences. Moreover, superviser does not treat all the therapist equally. Those who are close to the superviser have favourable situation every time in manner to get PTO. Moreover, they exploit who are working on visa. They force non immigrants to work non- stop even on weekends and again threaten to fire. Never gave CEU reimbursement. – less

Poor morale, negative work environment
Direct patient care staff (Former Employee), Winston-Salem, NC – July 28, 2012
Pros: pay, ability to make a difference to your patient/family
Cons: negativity abounds...
Overall the clinical, patient-care staff is friendly. There are some very knowledgeable professionals in each discipline, from CNA/NSG, rehab, respiratory, pharmacy, wound care, etc. It has the potential to be a very good job in many disciplines; however, upper management has created an environment of fear and relies on bullying to lead versus true – more... concern of patients or their staff. Staff morale is currently poor because of this, and it has become a stressful and, at times, hostile place to work. You do not feel the ability to vocalize any concerns or suggestions because of the fear of retribution/retaliation. The floor staff is, overall, much more professional than the leaders.

I would recommend to anyone looking to work here, to research the company. If any way possible, try to talk to the staff in confidence - not who is picked for you to talk to, just a sampling of people from whatever position you are applying for. I urge you to ask questions about how they truly feel about such topics as ratios, ethics, leaders, how they are managed, if they feel valued, the work environment... whatever you value in a job, ask about it. I'm not sure if they would feel at liberty to share, but I think it is important to get a feel for what you may be getting into. – less

Enjoyed the clients and co workers, over all a very rewarding experience
Patient Service Specialist (Former Employee), Rockford, MI – July 24, 2012
A typical day at work was very repetitive but I learned how to verify insurances, how to handle patient issues and how to defuse peoples tempers. Management was sometimes tough but fair. I really enjoyed my co-workers, I especially liked how we came together as a team. The hardest part of my job was the company imposed audits, and the most enjoyable – more... part of my job was watching patients improve – less

inpatient therapist (Former Employee), New Jersey – June 21, 2012
I worked for Select Medical as an inpatient therapist. The best part of the job: coworkers and patients. Had an interesting caseload. Worst part? Select Medical - management is inflexible, compensation is mediocre (they like to pride themselves on hiring new grads to exploit), no help with CEUs or licensing fees. Don't expect to get time off when you – more... request it. I was thrilled when I left. – less

Saddend – July 24, 2012

MADISON, WI.-- I AGREE 100%!!!!!!!! Stay AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Management likes to play the favorites game. If you are well liked you can have time off and pretty much do anything you would like without recourse. However, if you are not a favorite be prepared for write -ups, the hardest work schedules and patient assignments, normally 1:5 nurse:patient ratio. Additionally be prepared for inconsistent pay raises. You can have excellent performance evaluations and receive less than the cost of living raises($0.28 - $0.35) You will find nurses who provide the poorest care and spend the least amount of time with patients are rewarded to the greatest degree($1.50 - $2.00). Advertise for nurses with 2-3 years experience and hire many new grads. Further, these nurses are placed with the most critical patients. Agree with the exploitation theory! Do not bother bringing things to the attention of supervisors like: Copying previous shift assessments; no patient rounds; unconscious patients lying in stool and urine until dried on sheets; -- most do not care! IF YOU DO -- you will be tagged as a complainer. Little Secret: If you do hire on here, pretend that you are either gay or lesbian and you will not be written-up or reprimanded for anything.

Nurses overworked and needs ignored
Floor Nurse (Former Employee), Detroit, MI – June 20, 2012
Assignments are called "sets" which means that a group of patients has been put together and that group remains together. Patient groupings were made apparently without thought to acuity. Some nurses sat around and did very little while other nurses could not get their work done due to the high acuity of their patients. Most of the patients are on multiple – more... medications (25 to 35 medications average) and times assigned by pharmacy do not always follow the 9-1-5-9 times most hospitals use. All meds need to be signed out of a locked machine and they only have one! My sets usually needed meds almost every hour so I spent a great deal of time in the med room either waiting in line to sign out meds or administering the meds. Several times a week I wittnessed a family member or friend of a patient (different patients all the time) come in and complain and sometimes yell and or verbally abuse staff. Sometimes they were obviously drunk or impaired. If these persons complained to management NO MATTER WHAT the targeted staff would be called into the office and receive a verbal warning. It was believed by management that the staff should be able to handle these disruptive and sometimes abusive situations and did not help staff with these issues. All the charge nurses except one had less than three years experience as a nurse. Staff were leaving in droves and agency staff where used daily to fill the gaps. Maybe it's just me, but I saw select as a recipe for disaster and left after working only 4 months. :( – less

Magdalene – July 9, 2012

OMG...you couldn't have summed it up any better..this hits the nail on the head....horrible company to work for...all about the money they are for profit....you put your liscence on the line everyday...no help with critical patients on drips, wounds,lots of comorbidities and management only see the wrong in what u do...the family is always rite...no backbone from management to help u. So glad I left....lots of new grads with little time on the floor and left to fiend for themselves.

Hide – August 8, 2012

Facility not only prides itself on 'bullying", but ENCOURAGES it & retaliates if this is reported to Chief Nsg Mgr .....mgt is nothing but a pathetic joke......if a pt or staff reports something, it is automatically "assumed it is true" & u r put on probation (i.e: nsg assist says u took too long to help her when all she did was sleep & play on computer all night & YOU get written up)! Acuity is horrible.....some staff sit & play on computer all night because their assignment's are so easy & others run all night to try & keep up.....one of the nsg aides on 7P shift reports u to mgt if u don't kiss her butt & mgt threatens to put u on probation for this......u r automatically retaliated against for reporting ANYTHING that has to do with the "click" the mgr there protects & covers for.....most of the staff r really nice but watch out the miserable b..ch on 7p & don't bother reporting her bullying 'coz it will only get YOU put on probation! I hated it there.....it was soooooo disgusting.
