Would You Take This Job?
This role offers solid pay, benefits, and a reputable clinical setting in Oak Park, IL. The evening schedule and the work environment dynamics might be trade-offs depending on your lifestyle and preferences. Let me know your thoughts about how this job could be improved to suit you.
Did 3–11 at a similar facility: 6–8 pm sundowning, two showers, meds late, then heavy lifts with fewer hands after 9. I’d consider it if ratios are 1:8 or better, real 30‑min break, no mandatory OT, working lifts, and a shift/weekend diff. Pension’s rare. What’s the weekend/holiday rotation?
Pay looks decent for Oak Park if that top end isn’t just for travelers, but I’d want to know ratios on evenings and how often they mandate OT. 3–11 can be great for school/childcare, dealbreaker for me would be heavy lifts without enough help and no breaks. Do they offer any shift diff, tuition reimbursement, or a CNA-to-LPN path?
I’d consider it if there’s a decent shift diff and safe ratios; $18.50–$25 is fine but not if you’re solo on a heavy hall. What’s the usual CNA-to-resident load on evenings, and do they mandate OT or every-other-weekend?
