Pros
Great pay. Amazing coworkers. Tons of amazing experience. Perfect for a new graduate nurse.
Cons
Absolutely no advancement. Prior to transferring units within the hospital, even if all interviewing went well, the managers from this potential new unit contact your current manager. This discussion is the deciding factor of if you can transfer units. The management, if they really like you or the unit is short staffed, will say whatever it takes to keep you on their own unit. I tried transferring numerous times to my dream unit, the management absolutely loved me. When asked about why my transfer was denied I was told that my manager was short staffed at this time, all 5 times over the course of 2 years although we were overstaffed. I had to officially quit then re-apply to be properly considered. This has occurred to several of my coworkers as well.
