Pros

Mentorship is central to this job; the guidance gained is invaluable & supervisors will be top in their field. Extensive patient contact. Hands-on experience. Gain technical skills in a variety of areas. Individual initiative is embraced and supported; start your own projects and you will present your research at conferences and publish.

Cons

You won't get an interview unless you identify and write to specific PIs. Direct contact with PI can be limited depending on your lab. As a government facility, there can be a lot of red tape.

Pros

Working with the some of the smartest scientists and clinicians in the world. So many learning opportunities. Kind patients. Allowed time to care for patients as there is no pressure of quotas by health insurance.

Cons

Nursing management can be verbally abusive with frequent retaliation and intimidation. As most older nurses have worked there for most of their career, they are dismissive of new perspectives and resistant to evidence-based practice.
