Pros
-It's great if you are working on the right floor; meaning the staff aren't burned out. -Otherwise, you might be lucky enough to find a great team of nurses that have your back. -Work nights if you want some sanity left. -You might get a free meal on some special occasions (if you're lucky)
Cons
-Staffed burned out = poor patient care -Dayshift = Hell -High management & RN turnover, incompetent, some amateur, new managers hired (I'm sure previously fired for incompetence) -poor patient safety due to lack of staff secondary to high staff turnover (could be people leaving/transferring or being unfairly judged) -they preach "customer satisfaction" while piling on the workload with lack of staff, but management offers next to no support while pointing fingers for poor unit results. -Mostly graduate nurses hired due to RNs quitting/transferring, so patient safety declines -Voicing your opinion (regardless of context) in their "I-CARE" environment paints a target on your back and your job -They want robots; robots don't talk or defend themselves from unfair/unfounded scrutiny -Forget about trying to get your timecard corrected and the money you worked for promptly, if at all. -Kiss your PL bye-bye unless you plan on being sick for an extended period of time to collect on their sick-leave pay. -Don't expect to see your SL when you leave; they'll take that from you too.
