Pros

State of the art building and equipment, usually able to get quick support from residents and management during emergencies, PTO, room to move around within organization

Cons

Unit specific nonsense (OB), cat fights and drama is tolerated on my unit, management likes to overwhelm us with new and unnecessary (and unrealistic due to time and workload constraints) tasks. Emphasis is on cranking out delivered and not so much on patient/infant safety. Often feel as though RN license is on the line because reasonable/recommended nurse/patient ratio is not adhered to. Management sometimes only publishes our schedule 10 days before it starts! Not fair to people with other obligations and arrangements that need to be made (i.e. babysitting, multiple jobs, transport issues).

Pros

The employees are hard working and generally competent. Salary was reasonable market value BUT the work load and responsibility was TWICE that of comparable similar positions for the salary.

Cons

Salary, though market value, was much too low for the level of responsibility and grossly unreasonable work load. The work load was close to double that of similarly situated positions in New York, but salary the same as other institutions whose work load was half of that. North Shore LIJ is unfortunately extremely demanding in their work load, never a moment to breath and have to scarf lunch down in 10 minutes (if at all), even going to the bathroom is difficult because of lost time due to the extremely unreasonable work load. Management is horrible, bullying and abusive. Every day someone is singled out by management for torture, abuse, yelling, threats - management takes their "discipline" beyond anything acceptable, HR is aware but can't do anything about it (numerous complaints), and the higher-ups don't care so long as work is done on the ridiculous budget that makes management look good. The yelling, screaming, threats, constant abuse and disrespect by management is beyond anything I experienced anywhere else in over 15 years, the turn over in this department is 40 - 50%, but nothing ever changes. No one is happy and everyone is unduly stressed and even scared and intimidated by the horrible management that makes the stressful workload even more unbearable.

Pros

The system at North shore is very organized and helpful. Management wants you to succeed and they train new hires very well.

Cons

Stress of the job is a definite negative. But that is nursing anywhere you go. Night shifts are hard because supervisors aren't around and it's hard to get help when needed.
