Pros

depending on which department, there can be good work/life balance. starting salaries can be competitive. mission on paper is inspiring

Cons

moving target as to why we are here. negotiate in high, as salary increases (even during promotions) are ridiculously low and non-competitive. bureaucracy can make it very difficult to know who to ask for what. good old boys club is in formation at the top

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
