Pros

Fellow nursing staff are easy to get along with. Patients are not terrible.

Cons

1. Heavy workload, management does not care. 2. Shockingly and Incredibly rude management. (Why I left) They do not care about anyone but themselves and will block you for applying to other units. Petty. Promotion is based on social relationships and not on experience/minimum requirements 3. Worst company I have ever worked for. 4. Pay is lower than most of the medical center. 5. Lied to me during the interview process. 6. The work environment was so hostile that the $10,000 sign on bonus was not even worth it. 7. Highest staff turnover in the entire hospital 8. Toxic. Everyone is unhappy.

Pros

The transition to Workday is a welcome modernization that brings the organization more in line with other large health systems.

Cons

the work-life balance for Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) needs significant improvement. The criteria for earning administrative time place unrealistic expectations on APPs, making it difficult to achieve a sustainable workload. It is especially discouraging to work alongside physicians who have more attainable criteria for protected administrative time, creating a sense of inequity that negatively impacts morale. Additionally, there is little flexibility in scheduling. Offering 0.8 or 0.6 FTE positions would help retain experienced APPs who want to continue providing high-quality patient care while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Without these options, many APPs are left choosing between full-time burnout and leaving the organization altogether. the work-life balance for Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) needs significant improvement.
