Pros

Good benefits. Overtime available if you want to work yourself to death

Cons

Unsafe staffing ratios. Company spent 100,000+ on a seminar only to say we ended fiscal year in the negative. Threatening layoffs. Admins make 6 figures while clinical staff struggles to make ends meet while trying to keep their patients alive in unsafe conditions.

Pros

Great ICU team. A few non welcoming cliquey girls, but 75% will feel like family

Cons

3:1 ratio in an ICU should never happen, or if it literally has to, be very rare. It happens weekly here. Also get floated to PCU and med surg often
