Good mix of experience in nurses, great patient resources, decent benefits (benefits for 2025 were way better), magnet hospital, good pay
Cons
Difficult to do lateral transfers, at Plano there’s no bonuses for extra shifts, monthly trainings as opposed to to quarterly trainings.

-great managers
-non-interpreting staff very familiar working with an interpreter
-policies and expectations set for most situations
-exceptionally developed department (which includes a senior director) relative to other hospitals, which often lack even a basic interpreting department
Cons
-work volume; often few breaks, definitely not enough to do anything other than work-related tasks (e.g., study for class, make a personal phone call)
-inflexible schedule
-work flow heavily dependent on coworker proactivity
-leadership structure (managers over leads over interpreters) can result in micromanagment
