Pros

You work alongside some good people (nurses, techs). Depending on who your manager is, you might work in a unit where your manager makes you feel supported. Patients have repeatedly said the care they receive at Saint Peter's is excellent, often comparing it favorably to other hospitals. Parking is free if you have your badge. Opportunities to advance are probably plentiful, because nobody wants to stay. Differential for certification is higher than other places.

Cons

Physician/Resident caliber is pretty low; bottom-of-the-barrel in most specialties except maybe NICU/Maternity-related. Knowledgeable nurses are appalled by how non-proactive so many of the attendings are in addressing time-sensitive issues. Despite it being against policy, many attendings won't bother putting orders in and will spend twenty minutes fighting with the nurse to have the put the orders in rather than just doing what they're supposed to do, and there does not seem to be consequences to them. In light of the Radonda verdict, this is especially appalling. With a few notable exceptions, the majority of the residents do not have a sense of responsibility, follow-up, or even accountability for basic information they should know. As a new nurse if I have to consistently remind you that an order is inappropriate for your patient, you should be ashamed. Administrators are not supportive of nursing staff; nursing educators, higher-level nursing administrators just want their metrics to improve by squeezing more out of the nurses doing all the work instead of doing more to support them, The charting system is nominally better than messenger pigeon. In order to properly care for your patient with the limited resourcing available and to document everything properly, you regularly stay very late. With more agency nurses, we are able to compare notes on what things are like at different hospitals. It's apparently not like this everywhere; our system is truly the worst.

Pros

Director of unit and manager were very friendly. They both reviewed my resume prior to the interview and they knew my experience. Even though, I didn’t talk a lot about myself or my experience, they both seem to understand my goals for my career. HR personnel, Elida, is also really friendly and easy to contact and communicate with.

Cons

None so far. All positive.
