Pros

Great training in the lab and for your career. Tons of great resources available - sometimes at your fingertips and sometimes you have to seek them out.

Cons

It's a huge machine and can sometimes be a bit daunting to navigate. Get to know the Administrative Officers and Administrative Assistants to help you navigate. PIs and other scientists that have been around a long time can also guide you.

Pros

Working with the some of the smartest scientists and clinicians in the world. So many learning opportunities. Kind patients. Allowed time to care for patients as there is no pressure of quotas by health insurance.

Cons

Nursing management can be verbally abusive with frequent retaliation and intimidation. As most older nurses have worked there for most of their career, they are dismissive of new perspectives and resistant to evidence-based practice.
