Understaffed, stressful working conditions.

Pros

It's national. Allows the flexibility to transfer after six months. Flexible scheduling.

Cons

I find my floor understaffed 4 out of 5 shifts I work. The days with adequate staffing are great. Patients are cared for, documentation is completed, and you just might leave at 7:30. Other days, not so much. Patients are angry due to lack of attention, overworked nurses and staff,

Business Outlook

Pros

Tuition reimbursement; PTO; benefits; 401k;

Cons

Seems like they pick and choose what qualifications are necessary for promotions within the company based on how much leadership likes you personally. A lot of politics and unfair advantages for people that are good at talking their way through their jobs and not very good at performing their job duties.
