Pros
I really enjoy working at PCH, truly. My patients are the best and the reason I stay.
Cons
As much as I love PCH and would like to never leave here the pay is absolutely horrible for nurses and techs. After taxes and insurance we make almost nothing compared to any other hospital in AZ. The critical care areas don’t get paid more and the turn over of bedside staff is horrible! Also, probably the most aggravating part is that if you work here you can expect the most ridiculous pay raise system ever. However, if you come in with experience you make way more. So basically it doesn’t matter about how many years of service you have put in at the hospital if you leave and then come back you make way more. So they basically push you out because nobody can live off this ridiculous pay.
