Advice to Management

ADN's with 20 years of experience are better charge nurses than little girls fresh out of school with 2 extra years of theory and paper writing. The leadership structure should have been grandfathered in. The new CNO was supposed to put things back together but the same inexperienced nurses who didn't know how to delegate for their staff where still charging and the senior nurses who could run circles around them were starting to quite when I left.
Require a contractual obligation to TCH to recieve tuition reimbursement. (Hermann does two years after the last check is cut).

Nearly every coworker I saw finish grad school quite in less than a year and found a job outside TCH (usually because they couldn't transfer)

Amazing company values, a sense of true caring from management

Advice to Management

Pros

Not sure who wrote that burn book OT review...but I worked here in acute care OT for almost 2 years before recently moving and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about TCH and their rehab team. I now work at another peds hospital, and it really doesn't compare. The amount of help, support, and compassion the OTs have for their patients at Texas Children's is amazing. Everyone at work cares so much about helping you be the best therapist you can be, and giving you ample opportunities for growth. You get to work with an incredibly diverse patient population in a hospital that really values teamwork in all disciplines (not just OT/PT). I feel like I left a family there of supportive, dedicated individuals who really try to be there for one another. Once you gain the trust of your team and your patients, the amount of insanely cool things you get to see and do there as a therapist is unprecedented.

Advice to Management

Rehab management at TCH was very supportive, easy to talk to, and always made themselves available to help if there is something you had an issue with . I really liked our manager a lot. My advice would be to try to take on a more active role when employees are telling you what they need, rather than being empathetic but listening passively.

Pros

The work enviroment is great. The benefits are ok.

Advice to Management

Continue the good work.

Pros

You can advance if you don't get let go

Pros

Lots of communication from the CEO
Consistent communication about company plans and highlights
Ongoing training to ensure compliance

Advice to Management

Keep checking in (in a consistent and structured manner) with your employees to solicit feedback and gauge the temperature of your staff. Allowing employee feedback helps people stay invested in the organization.
