Pros
Awesome coworkers that have your back/are very helpful Great patient population, a well-rounded experience and education on a variety of diseases (also get overflow from just about every unit in the hospital) Self-scheduling (could be both pro and con) Alternate holidays (again could be both pro and con) Opportunity to join committees throughout the hospital Pediatrics, only hospital in the Cincinnati area you can be in Peds unless you are in the NICU at the area hospitals
Cons
Company is working towards a Lean structure - cutting benefits previously offered that used to make them competitive but now are just mediocre. -Cutting costs to save up for another building when they can't fill the last one they expanded on (Liberty campus). -Increasing patient to nurse ratios to again cut budgets to save up for new building. -Reducing pensions previously offered. -Pay to park in the garages on-site from your paycheck -Hospital boasts about offering support for furthering education, but they're selective on what they will do tuition reimbursement for (will not help pay for certain NP programs for the last couple years). Also tries to say they're competitive pay but still under-par for most area hospitals. -If you work third shift don't expect any of the extra perks that the hospital offers day shift - pizza days for high census? all ordered same time of day so night shift's has been sitting out all day and no longer edible. Free 15 minute neck massages during nurse's week? only offered noon-3pm.
