Pros

I love the atmosphere that the coworkers bring to each and every patient every day. They create a community like atmosphere and the desire to help others shows throughout the hospital...well those that are on the floor and actually working with the patients or keeping them safe and rooms clean.

Cons

The upper management is losing reality... They think nurses leaving the company and going to travel position is okay... They think it's okay to hire contact nurses at a extremely higher rate ( and I am NOT MAD OR GOING AFTER CONTRACT NURSE AT ALL! GET THAT MONEY) but if you pay the workers that are loyal the same amount your spending 13+ weeks on a traveler there would not be so much turn over and your hospitals will have a better patient to nurse ratio, less falls, less med mistakes. To actually enjoy the work life balance

Pros

There some flexibility with scheduling and they let you pick up as many shifts as you want and pretty much your own schedule.

Cons

Very poorly managed, chronically understaffed but managers are dismissive and deny it. The support from staff is inconsistent, the staff nurses are either fresh new grads or very bitter nurses who don’t want to help and expect you to handle everything by yourself as a tech. Most nurses here are PRN’s on contracts that get floated so it’s really hard to expect consistency in the staff you work with and build trusting relationships. Management will promise to train you as a unit secretary but will never follow up. They also agree to help you get opportunities for learning and growth but refuse to follow up or forget about it altogether, despite reminders. It’s not a priority. If your goal is to grow and learn more this is not the place. It’s running on fumes at 95% of the time. Very high turnover, we struggle to keep staff. They’ll call you in to pick up when they’re understaffed with no incentive or something minimal like “swag” (some gear). Very poorly compensated and you will not be appreciated for the hard work you do. Also it took 2 months for them to get me started despite numerous attempts to reach the HR, Management etc.
