Pros
- 1:5 nursing ratio
- patients are not criticlly ill or in life-threatening situations
- overtime pay when I worked was great! We got extra $50/hr or $40/hr for overtime shift. A lot of opportunities to pick up shifts since we were short staffed a lot
- New grad nurses get started off on a decent pay of $35/ht
Cons
- I experienced "nurses eating their young," racist patient and nurses, and micro aggressions at work
- Nursing leadership is not the best
- It is difficult to get a job at Tanner
- We were always short-staffed
- It is not a teaching hospital, so there are limited opportunities for learning
- It is a small facility, so you do not get to see a lot or do a lot as a nurse
- You get used to the patient population and know what to expect if you have worked on the same unit for 1-2 years
- Far commute to work if you live in the city
