Review for Federation Employment Guidance Service-Closed for Operations, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am very proud to be working for this organization as a registered nurse since Oct. 2004, starting as a per diem agency nurse. I knew right away that this was an extraordinary organization, and that I fit in very well with it, as on my very first day there, I was called upon to assist a client who was having symptoms of a heart attack. My fellow RN's who with me work in the Developmental Disabilities Division, watched me in action, and subsequently recommended me highly to the administrative and nursing supervision. I was hired directly by the organization some months later. The consumer recovered and got emergency care; he did not suffer a heart attack. I was gratified to be a part of his care team however. Years later, I was privileged to make a difference for life of a consumer under my care. The family continues to call me to this day to thank me at holidays and to remember what I did in preventing a dangerous procedure from taking place for their sister. FEGS has always noticed and rewarded their employees for making a difference. I know I will continue with them for a long time, because the fit is right for us to stay together.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

open more residential placement homes for those with developmental disabilities, for which there is a great need, as people live longer, and parents age. Someone has to provide for these individuals.
