Pros

Great tuition reimbursement, beautiful new buildings, covered parking, a few good genuine nurses that truly care for patients and their well being. Good research hospital.

Cons

To be bullied as a new employee and not have the support of my manager was extremely disheartening. I felt like a kid in grade school-bullied and constant chattering, gossiping, and the cold shoulder wondering what in the world is going on-did I do something wrong, upset somebody? Healthcare requires teamwork, but I was forced to work with minimal help because the nurses & PCTS that have worked together and we're friends ganged up on those they didn't care for. The department's nurse patient ratio is unsafe for both patients and staff, causing constant tension in trying to somehow provide care for all of your patients while completing your work on time or else get chewed out by the unit director and asst. unit director for a min. OT. Some depts are very outdated with malfunctioning or not enough equipment, no hot water in patient bathrooms, dilapidated pt. rooms, etc. Not enough training, unorganized, verbally abusive colleagues-"nurses eat their young." Terrible moral and insensitive nurses. Beware. Disasters that are waiting to happen. Don't risk your license or certification that you worked so hard for.

Pros

I used to work in rushs fertility clinic and felt there was a really great collaboration between everyone on the team.

Cons

our fertility clinic had multiple locations and i had to drive to each one on different days. I felt the compensation wasnt enough for the drive.

Pros

great resources and technology available to make charting easier. i've worked on great units and bad ones, it really depends on management and your support staff.

Cons

big hospital system, again focused on numbers and quantity over quality care. chronically understaffed which leads to overwork and patient risk. staff is not listened to by management when raising concerns about patient safety. not paid enough for nonexistent work life balance. was often working 50-60+ hour weeks staying late and charting with no extra pay
