Enjoyed my time here, but there are still some major issues
Pros
Effective management and nurses, interesting patients, some solid coworkers, decent/good benefits for full-time, union, schedule is at least consistent for full-time staff, lots of opportunities for OT. Tend to hire in house staff for positions if you become more qualified while working there (i.e. will hire an MHS as a nurse once they get their license).
Cons
High acuity with sometimes poor staffing, you get guilt-tripped if you call off for being sick. Potential for drama with coworkers. Pay should be higher for the amount of danger you're putting yourself in and the stress/trauma that you're bound to encounter. Very little engagement from higher-ups in the company (those above the nurse managers, CEO seems not to value or care about the inpatient hospital. Depending on what floor you're on/ which shift you work, you may not get any interaction with other members of the patients' care team, such as their doctors or social workers and this can cause a significant disconnect between different staff. MHS's input is often undervalued.
