Indeed featured review

Good place to work, staff is always willing to help on certain shifts and reschedule shifts to a different unit. I really loved working at NHI, it is a great starting position.

Friendly and caring workplace with proper management.

My work experience as a Personal Support Worker with Nursing and Homemakers Incorporation was a great opportunity. I had the privilege to upgrade myself with in-service training which enhanced my knowledge and skills. l enjoyed my work with the organization and also being a part of their team. There were few challenges I encountered. Example: the Nursing home or the hospital I have been assigned for the shift is within a short period of notice. All the same it is a fun place to work.

Pros

Friendly and approachable organization.

Cons

Shift not regular

The staff at NHI are always professional when they call me.

It is through this agency and others I have the good fortune to develop my nursing skills and knowledge in the development of judgment for difficult clinical issues. I am most grateful this company allows me to work for them. However there are times when shifts are scarce and I need to put food on the table.

Great for causal work ... don’t count on shifts often get cancelled as your on route

Staff are underpaid for their labour , shifts a flexible because you pick them but the chance of you actually fulfilling your shift is a 50/50 chance shifts are often cancelled

Pros

Lots of work shops / flexiblity

Cons

Low pay, no benefits, shifts cancelled
Was this review helpful?

Income is low, but ability to choose shifts.

The staffing can be helpful, but shifts can be cancelled or changed within 1-2 hours notice, which can be inconvenient. With the minimum wage increase at the beginning of 2018, the pay for PSWs which was above minimum in 2017, is about minimum now, However you have the opportunity to choose to choose your own schedule, which makes this especially convenient as a side job or if you also attend school.

Pros

Flexible Schedule.

Cons

Low pay.

It was great!

A typical day at work was great. I feel a sense of satisfaction and happiness in helping the elder citizens, I like doing it. Through this job, I have developed a lot of patience and have improved my punctuality as well. The hardest part of the job was lifting the patient, but I managed. The most enjoyable part was just doing the job in general, knowing that I was being helpful to them.

it was beautiful

working with elderly or special need person hard sometime. At the end of your life you have to depend on other. I am working with Italian culture and its beautiful. I love it there I learned some Italian with the elderly.

Great agency, flexible with students

I enjoyed working for NHI during my undergrad, got exposed to a variety of experience, such as community in home visits, hospital visits on a variety of units as well as one on one sitting. Great for learning and staying connected to your nursing skills.

The hardest part of job

The hardest part of job I experienced with this company was I am being sent everywhere without any orientation. There are times that I was oriented to do an area in the a long term care that morning then when the local staff came in, she all of a sudden get all the clients I was oriented to do. It is kind of risky on my part since I am not familiar with the clients and their conditions so I will not be that effective with my care.

its fun working with the elderly especially when some of them starts to advise me and tell me their life stories. The stressful part is When I am caring for trauma patients who are suffering from severe pain both physically and emotionally
