Pros

Close relationships with coworkers. Taking care of people I know from the community.

Cons

I was only a nurse for 5 months when they made me a charge nurse on med surg. Even though my manager didn't have a choice at the time I still felt like I was thrown to the wolves. I was still a new grad and felt like I had no idea what I was doing.

Pros

Strict ratios for nurses at this hospital. Med-surg never above 5 patients on day shift. Good 401k matching, good pto.

Cons

same issues as most hospital nursing environments. Being over-worked with very sick patients, feelings stretched too thin with less resources each year. that being said, this was a better environment than most hospitals.
