I was a physical therapist working in skilled nursing. I had 2 weeks, but it was pooled time. So if I ever got sick, it came from there. We were “encouraged” to take PTO if our census was low to “maintain” our eligibility for our health care. We had 3 paid holidays, but we also had to negotiate within our department to work the Sunday before or the Saturday afer.
This is a position which requires a doctorate degree ($103,000 in 2014), sitting for a board exam, and a state based license. We were basically the top of the hierarchy at the facility, and that’s how we were treated. The CNA’s had a literally shit job, and made about the same pay as if they worked at McDonalds (and less than if they worked at Costco).
