No Work/Life Balance What-So-Ever
Pros
Love the work I do each and every day; I work with a great team.
Cons
Expects more and more for less; Nurses are expected to work 50-60 hours per week; Nurses are on call 8-9 days a month in addition to working 40+ hours per week; Nurses are expected to work a full day with little to no sleep after being on-call; However, if management helps overnight, they do not work a full day the next day; Our care center has been short two nurses for months with no help offered from corporate or other care centers; I took a PTO day and was expected to do the see all my patients in 4 days instead of 5; Nurses are frequently asked to do unnecessary work, such as double-charting and recompleting forms that have already been done; My current job is wrecking havoc on my health and my family
