      Pros

      You get great experience with some of the sickest of the sick. Great learning environment. Great for handworkers. If you can work here for 2 years, you can handle anything else anywhere else. I had great coworkers who really understood teamwork.

      Cons

      Not great if you don't like to be moving a lot. Not competitive pay. New grads are getting paid more than experienced nurses. Promises made, but not kept. My unit manager has not figured out how to retain nurses yet, young and old. High turnover.

      Thanks for your positive recommendation. We agree that OU Medicine is an organization where our health care providers have the opportunity to gain invaluable experience and knowledge that will benefit them for years to come. Since we divested from HCA in 2018 and became a non-profit healthcare organization, we have been working on ensuring competitive compensation with the Oklahoma City market and making adjustments as necessary. Our primary focus is to ensure that our employees are compensated equitably and appropriate to market, and we are continuing to find new ways to increase employee retention, including upgrading and adding new benefits for 2019. We feel that the future is bright at OU Medicine and we anticipate continued growth and improved service to our patients, employees and our community. We are thankful that you are part of our journey and wish you continued success.

      Pros

      Workplace Culture and Team Collaboration: Many employees appreciate the supportive, family-like atmosphere and strong teamwork within their teams and across departments. They value the camaraderie, inclusivity, and mutual respect that foster a positive work environment focused on patient care. Meaningful Work and Patient Impact: Employees find motivation and satisfaction in knowing their work directly or indirectly improves patient care and community health. This sense of purpose is a significant driver of engagement.

      Cons

      Degree Requirements and Career Advancement: Many employees express concern that strict degree requirements, especially for IT roles, hinder career progression and demoralize experienced staff without degrees. There is a strong preference for recognizing equivalent experience or certifications in lieu of formal degrees to promote internal mobility and retain talent.
