Pros
Good benefits, always offering overtime. Urgent pay is time and half plus a $10/hr bonus. There are some very good nurses, great co-workers.
Cons
Ok, I'm going to call the elephant out in the room that all the nurses on the floors are afraid to call out-the number of patients and patient acuity nurses to take is simply DANGEROUS! Med/surg floor nurses take 6-8 and ICU 4. This leads to multiple errors, staph infections, and unfortunately, preventable deaths. This is why I could no longer continue working at Blessing. We once were a good hospital and I was proud to be a team member, now the profits are more important than the safety of the patients. The whole I CARE policy sounds great and all the new graduate nurses believe it during orientation but reality hits when they start working on the floors. It's too bad that it is just a talk and not actually implemented.
