Pros
BCH hospital is a beautiful new campus. The benefits were decent and most of the nurses and staff were nice people to patients and others.
Cons
The pay was terrible for the amount of labor they wanted from me. I think they have increased the pay a bit since I was there. the unit was constantly under-staffed and so I did the work 2 or 3 PCAs would normally do, with sometimes over ten patients assigned to me. Not all staff were kind or respectful to the often overworked aides though other units did seem better. It's no fun to work your butt off for low pay and have a nurses constantly critique and complain about random weird stuff that only they care about and isn't part of your job. If you're looking to work on this unit ask them about turn over of aides, if it is high then there is a reason for it, apply to another unit. If you do night shift know that they expect you to complete trainings during the day which means you will have to switch your sleeping schedule at least a few times a month which could mess with your health.
