Pros

As an Intramural Research Training Awardee right out of college, this is one of the best places to learn about research. Depending on your lab, you have the opportunity to learn about each step of the process-data collection, cleaning, analysis and writing. You also have a lot of opportunities to present your research through multiple poster sessions throughout the year.

Cons

My particular lab was extremely dramatic. Government stipends for post-bacc positions is really low.

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.
