Pros

Depending on which location you work, you'll be able to work 40+ hours per week. Pay starts decent enough, but you'll have to work at least 40 hours per week to sustain yourself. Especially if you are a single income household. The employee culture varies a lot by location. But being a team player helps no matter what location you work at. Learning to work as a team, and helping each other out really improves the experience of this job. They'll pay for you to go to nursing school. Lots of pto!

Cons

The hours are long and start early. Techs have to be at work between 4-4:45am. Patients are usually wrapped up by 5pm, and you're usually out the door within 30minutes of that. So 12-14hour days. The job is physically demanding. You basically exclusively on your feet all day, and bending over to insert needs or clean machines and chairs. If you have a generally low physical health, this will probably be very difficult. Turnover is high. People generally know in the first 3 months if they want to stick with it.

Pros

The job was pretty straight-forward and not difficult. Repetitive tasks and most shifts were relatively smooth if staff were there as scheduled.

Cons

Staff were typically not there as scheduled, so as the nurse you had to pick up the slack and many times work as a tech and a nurse simultaneously. There were times I felt unsafe as a nurse, afraid I would forget something or make a mistake because it was extremely busy when I didn’t have staff show up.
