Pros

Co workers are conscientious and hard working, good pay, rewarding to be a nurse and help people, lots of days off due to working 12 hour shifts.

Cons

Very stressful, staffing levels are done by numbers rather than acuity. Pts are very sick and often there is no one to help you. Always worried about making a mistake and hurting someone or being sued.

Pros

(This is for Providence St Vincent Medical Center in PDX) - staffing ratios - break nurses - ONA union - coworkers on my unit are very helpful and kind (can’t speak for every unit though)

Cons

- upper management hates the nursing union - we are short on many supplies on weekend night shifts - crappy insurance - my unit’s manager is almost never there, they’re always on vacation or working remote. This makes our manager very out of touch with the unit’s needs
