Nurse pay does not reflect the world changes
Pros
Decent benefits Great coworkers One great manager & director, heck of a clinical educator, stroke coordinator and auditor Educational opportunities are decent Safety & Security is OUTSTANDING specifically night shift New grad pay is good
Cons
Pay could be better, the recent market analysis is nice but nowhere near what pay should be for experienced nurses. We're the ones training new nurses and yet we barely make more than them. Staffing is not great, it's better than some places but still has room for improvement. We have outgrown our current department vs. population wanting to be seen, there just isn't enough rooms or staff to see them all which leads to long wait times, disgruntled patients, and overworked staff. Not strict enough on zero tolerance policy on aggressive patients/visitors, no one comes to work to experience verbal or physical aggression from the people they're trying to care for or their loved ones.
