Pros
If you work on main campus is a nurse you will see and learn so much, it’s a great resume builder The educational opportunities offered for nurses can be good when available and your manager allows you to take the courses
Cons
Not enough staff, meaning nurses, EVS, phlebotomy, EKG techs, aides, and secretaries, so PTO is denied, and you will always work short with management in the numbers, and be working four roles instead of one, and May get sent to help out other hospitals with no orientation Not enough supplies, and not just PPE but literally everything is out- sani wipes, port access kits, commodes, etc Constantly working short staffed even on fully staffed floors because other units are so short staffed you float to keep them barely functioning at 1:6 ratio for nurses There are bugs and mice in the hospital all over the place Pay for parking and no reimbursement on using public transit The benefits were probably great in the 90s but now are laughable- $250 copay for the ED, scheduling a primary care appointment 6 months in advance, no real tangible discounts
