Vantaggi
This is a great place to get and use experience caring for critically ill patients. Coworkers are excellent and caring. High standards for care and use of evidence based data to improve patient outcomes.
Svantaggi
Serious issues with patient-nurse ratios for extended period of time (2 years). Upper management does not listen to the bedside nurses regarding need for more staff to provide adequate care for all patients under their care. Management is very slow to respond to obvious problems. Forced reduction in salary and layoffs under guise of cutbacks required to economically weather healthcare cutbacks related to ACA. Attendance policy is unreasonable in a profession where many providers are mothers and single mothers and are exposed to illness on a regular basis.
