Business Outlook
Pros
Pleasant patients, good supervision/management at unit level. Excellent teamwork among floor nurses and techs, and people will have your back if you're drowning. Solid benefits package. Room to advance if you're ambitious. Quincy has a low cost of living compared with large cities like St. Louis and Chicago.
Cons
Significant churn and turnover at both the top and bottom of the organization. High patient:staff ratios (while ideally 4-5:1 on acute care/med-surg floors, it's usually 5-7:1 in practice). Lower base pay compared with large cities, although this is offset by Quincy's low cost of living. Quincy may not be your cup of tea if you're a trendsetting urban socialite keen on trying out the latest and greatest Thai food.
