Pros
excellent benefits, amazing co-workers, but this is becoming less and less with good nurses leaving every day.
Cons
Almighty $$$$ oriented. raises are minimal if at all and even then they NEVER come in when promised. there's usually a delay of 1-2 times of saying the raises are coming, but everyone knows it will still be another month or two-but at least they are retroactive. approval time of filling empty positions is length so staffing short. would rather hire agency nurses than hire their own or invest in the good staff they have. training is minimal and and staff is usually lacking all of the credentials they are required to have for care, including BLS and competencies. Very top heavy in terms of administration who strangely are never without all of the staff they need and have minimal actual healthcare experience and don't even necessarily understand healthcare terms. Big push for bringing patients in and getting them out, but ZERO push for enhancing or providing safe care for patients while they are staying. no consideration given for whether or not staffing will support the number of patients on a given floor, expectations the same for safe care whether or not staffing numbers will support this
