Pros

Coworkers are hardworking and become family

Cons

Ratios have adjusted to the point staff and patients are unsafe. They stack incentives to the point no one cares any longer. It's impossible to work around the clock. Millions were spent on a re-imaging initiative, but they failed to adequately pay staff. More than half the staff has resigned and gone to travel. Who wants to stick around for minimum wage when you can get paid decently on assignment?

Pros

Good benefits and generally good leadership

Cons

Typical large healthcare organization. Affordable care act ruined healthcare so its more about making money because it has become more of a business than care.

Pros

No pros. It was a horrible place to work

Cons

If you were night shift, you had to work every holiday. The nurses were so lazy and never helped us. We ran around taking care of patients with no help. Changing them, cleaning up horrible messes, taking them to the bathroom and doing vitals with no help. Nurses would sit there eating while on Facebook, while we did all the work. Some would even be sleeping!
