Pros

If you want to gain experience to move forward into nursing, allied healthcare, or anything else.. it’s pretty good. You will learn more than you’d expect about spinal cord injury and/or brain injury.

Cons

As a person of color, the first thing you’ll notice is that majority of the minorities are environmental services or patient care techs. Doctors, nursing, and therapists are majority white. Culture doesn’t exist there. It’s hard for others to relate to me in many ways and I have no one to openly express it to. A few of my previous colleagues of color were fed the same line.. “Your coworkers are saying that you have an attitude and don’t seem interested.” For my people of color, get your experience here but then move on!

Pros

Tight knit group of healthcare professionals that work together to provide the best care for patients. They cared very much and always worked hard (& paid extra money) to ensure the whole hospital is well staffed.

Cons

For me, it’s a long drive. Besides that, I had no complaints.
