      Pros

      There is a enormous diversity in research at the NIH with opportunities to collaborate and expand your experience.

      Cons

      Politics dominate all of the aspects of research and advancement. The quality or relevance of your research is secondary to the political climate. Individual labs can rise above this, but some institutes are completely bogged down in the bureaucracy.

      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.
