Pros
-other nurses are very friendly and helpful -you get to pick your assignments -most days you get a lunch break -streamlined epic charting system
Cons
-employee parking sucks -nurse educators aren’t particularly helpful -lots of utilization of midlevel providers that tend to be arrogant and pretend to be MDs -nurses are treated like idiots, not respected at all by midlevels -although you pretty much always get a lunch break, it’s typically 10-15 minutes and you don’t get another break -no educational opportunities -poor retention, lots of travelers -HEAVY auditing of charting, you will get emails about every detail you possibly missed (e.g. you didn’t chart a 1400 turn, you didn’t chart a 1200 oral care, etc) -there are days you will be tripled
