Difficult to move up the ladder in HR without complete support from supervisor Assigned areas and teams rarely change unless there's turnover so little variety of experience Things take longer than they should to get done, some processes redundant but apparently normal for government

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.
