Pros

Wonderful nurses and staff team work.

Cons

I have worked for University of Colorado Hospital for more than 20 years as a Medical-Surgical Nurse. Everything changed when UCH became invisible under the umbrella of UCHealth. They pushed out the best management this hospital ever had. Bruce Schroffel actually cared about the staff. The new administration supposedly did this at University of Pittsburgh too. Now the focus is on growth and finances. There are not enough nurses and not enough staff to help the nurses. It seems like it is now all new grads and nobody like me with experience. If you are admitted here as a patient, you are likely to fall because the staff can't get to you quickly enough. It used to be that nurse stayed here for a long time until they retired. Now we have a rotating door and mostly new grads.I get called to come in every day that I am off. because of too many patients. I have no privacy away from work. I'm leaving and going to Denver Health where they have reasonable nurse patient ratios and a supportive management. I'm also making more money there and I can continue to contribute to my 401K. They may not be a Magnet hospital, but I no longer believe in Magnet hospitals after the last few years.......

Pros

I work with amazing co-workers and patients. Everyone is great and hard-working but fun environment.

Cons

Always a lot of work but, job security, right? Compensation is less than other hospitals but the opportunity for advancement in a teaching hospital makes up for it.

Pros

High Acuity patients Maintain Skillset Job security

Cons

Too many patients in a day and not enough time to spend with them. Minimal admin time to manage InBasket and patient needs. Frequently need to juggle a full and complex patient schedule with urgent test results and care coordination. Have to use personal PTO to cover holidays and any time the clinic is closed due to circumstances outside of our control. (weather, power outages, etc) Annual performance Bonuses are now being determined by online patient feedback scores.
