Pros

Good teamwork amongst nurses. Ratios are strictly adhered to. Management is approachable and helpful. Set schedules,excellent pay, good benefits and I never have trouble getting time off. We have our own dedicated clinical educator in the ER and our own dedicated pharmacist. The ER providers value nursing staff and have a high level of respect for them.

Cons

Being an inner-city hospital, we serve a very diverse population of patients. There is a lot of homelessness, mental health patients and substance abuse related problems in Sacramento. This is reflected in a lot of the patients that come through this ER. So, it can be a challenging department. Since UC Davis (level I trauma center) is so close to SMCS, SMCS is NOT a trauma center. Having said that we get a lot of trauma patients that are dropped off in front of the ER lobby (GSW, drug OD, etc.).

My department is great and my boss is very supportive. I have had really great training and my director is always willing to talk and hear any issues.

Cons

I have not been here long enough. Less than 6 months from my hire date. But I would like more interaction with my colleagues.
