Pros

Postdoctoral pay at federal installations are generally higher than most research based academic institutions. Extensive collaborations, vast array of research opportunities. Great administrative staff. Great mentors and role models.

Cons

An extensive amount of paperwork needs to be filed for doing the smallest of things and the area in the vicinity of NIH is exorbitantly expensive.

Pros

Working with the some of the smartest scientists and clinicians in the world. So many learning opportunities. Kind patients. Allowed time to care for patients as there is no pressure of quotas by health insurance.

Cons

Nursing management can be verbally abusive with frequent retaliation and intimidation. As most older nurses have worked there for most of their career, they are dismissive of new perspectives and resistant to evidence-based practice.
