Pros
- the mission, goals, and vision - the benefit to the patients - depending on the position, the actual job
Cons
- triage nursing overnight is unsafe for patients and overwhelming for clinicians due to high volumes and the refusal to adequately staff through better workflows for those running the ENTIRE company overnight - (~40 daytime nurses turn into ~2-4 nurses overnight) - when informed of evidence-based issues, management is either not empowered to do anything about it or simply doesn't care. - pay is mediocre, especially without hourly pay or overtime. - favoritism can be obvious from certain leaders - nurses overnight tend to be expected to work outside the scope of practice, especially when it comes to patients facing mental health challenges. - the burnout is real. - the toxic positivity, with the expectation that we will "fly a plane while we build it" instead of addressing actual issues that impede care. - it's so much more than just nursing care (which is great for patients), but nurses are expected to do it all overnight.
