Pros

Good retirement plan and tuition reimbursement

Cons

Poor HR management and after the growth and expansion it seemed as if Children's wasn't the same place to work.

Pros

Excellent experience with nursing and development of skills , a wonderful way to advance in nursing and education. So many different opportunities for learning.

Cons

Nursing units staff rude and ruthless to new staff gossip Is horrible, most nursing staff was unfriendly, unhelpful, and disrespectful especially if you were not a RN. Lpn's doing pretty much the same as RN'S and treated poorly I personally was belittled several times while employed in the first 5 months. Being given poor assignments and mad to feel out of place during shift. So bad that I would get sick in stomach prior to going to work. Literally I was called stupid by a unit supervisor. For someone else's mistake and when confirmed it was not my mistake said supervisor laughed it off with other staff never apologizing for humiliating me in front of floor staff.
