Pros
- Middlesex has the potential to be an incredible independent organization. It has dedicated bedside staff, multiple satellite EDs, and has acquired numerous specialty groups to provide services directly, which should support long-term stability. - Nurses at Middlesex have more clout than in non-Magnet hospitals, even if the nurse-driven luster of Magnet has faded. - Many fringe benefits, like free parking in an adjacent garage on the off shifts and a year-end bonus. -You'll love the people you work with, but you'll be disappointed by the people you work for.
Cons
Management is either unaware of how dire the staffing and acuity situation is, or is silent about their attempts to address the ongoing problems. Either way, it's a failure of leadership. There's a whole lot of "administrators" but not a lot of "leaders."
