Pros

Easy to come in as new grad RN - only because they're desperate. Everyone knows this place is only meant to get your experience in

Cons

This hospital is stuck in the 80's. Paper charting, no pyxis - you pull medications from a cassette and drawer. Doctors don't put in orders, YOU the RN is expected to input orders for them, no transport team so you push your own bed, no CNAs you are primary RN for the entire shift, charge RNs are new grads with less than a year experience. No cafeteria discounts, Doctors don't speak English and would yell at you if you ask them to repeat themselves. YOU will be stretched thin here. On top of all that? You're getting paid LESS THAN $30 An hour. And this is experienced pay! Working at a SNF pays better than this 'acute' care hospital

Pros

Flexible scheduling with a generally positive staff culture. Overall a good workplace if you stay out of internal politics and are not prioritizing retirement benefits.

Cons

- There is noticeable favoritism and internal politics. You can work hard and still get overlooked, while others who don’t put in the same effort may be more protected if they are favored by management. - Limited advancement opportunities and weak retirement benefits. Reduced employee benefits over the years.
