Pros

Great teaching and co workers. Everyone is so nice and is willing to help you. Nurse to patient ratio is safe and manageable. The patients are very sick and you learn so much. Resources are everywhere being in a huge medical system. The name Duke on your resume looks great and will take you places in the future. Tuition reimbursement is a plus. You get $25k (taxed) for your loans earning your nursing degree if it is your first degree. You get this money over a 3 year span and if you leave Duke you do not have the pay it back.

Cons

COMPENSATION. You will not make money at Duke. You will notice how under paid you are for your services. It seems as just because Duke is Duke they feel they don't have to pay you a competitive salary. You only can make decent money working weekends and nights but as a new grad those shifts are always taken by senior nurses because they get the schedule first. I feel 100% underpaid for all that a nurse does and it makes me want to consider other options. Parking is expensive its $92/month but there are ways around it. Duke recently switched their guidelines for going back to school. When recruiting you they advertise it as they pay 90% of grad school to go back to get a MSN or DNP but it's not the case. You have to get accepted into a program that pays for you to go back to school and it is very competitive and there is a waiting list. They recently added that you have to give back three years after they pay for school if you get into the program and when recruiting nurses none of this was mentioned.
