Pros

Busy work environment, good intro to the medical field, gained compassion for the ill. Made some good friend from many different departments. People are relatively friendly.

Cons

Not enough pay for the work completed. Patient overload (14+ patients each) where you’re solely responsible for all baths, bathroom breaks, linen changes, and incontinent patients. Some nurses are very unhelpful. After almost 2 years, I have only had one raise. Made $11.24 by the time I left. One of the lowest paying hospitals in the region. Slow accrual of PTO (4 hours every biweekly paycheck). I made more money working in retail.

Pros

They give you decent time off especially after you've been there a number of years.

Cons

I think your experience all depends a lot on manager-- some care, some don't care enough.
