Pros

Lots of continuing ed and shared governance opportunities. Close-knit units. You get to care for the sickest of the sick, which is very educational and challenging.

Cons

Sometimes hostile environment. Lack of rapport between long-time nurses and new nurses. Management constantly in flux. Lots of churn in nurse staffing on some units. Onerous continuing ed requirements

Pros

The job was fantastic and I very much enjoyed everything we did. The hours were great and it was the perfect distance from my home.

Cons

They waited until 4 days before my probation period was up, and brought me in a room with two supervisors and a random nurse and terminated me because “ I’m not a good fit for the team”. They say my clinical skills are impeccable and no one from the hospital had any complaints about me in any way. A few people decided for me that my personality was too big for their team to handle. That says a lot about management there. I’ve NEVER been terminated in 26 years as a paramedic, but I come to UNM with a big personality and they cannot handle it.
