Pros

Really enjoyed my co workers and the charge nurse I worked with was very kind. I was the graveyard shift so it was generally quiet and relaxed. They had recently installed a touch screen panel to record resident vitals and more. Benefits were good and there was always extra shifts available if you wanted overtime.

Cons

I worked on the Alzheimer/Dementia unit which would require a lot more work than the other floors. There were many times that we were understaffed, which meant that one CNA would have to care for 15+ residents at once. One time we had 38 residents on the floor but only two CNA's. Was probably the worst shift ever. Also, a lot of times we would have outdated equipment to gather vitals. So I would have to borrow equipment from other floors.

Pros

It's okay... I don't know how other ORs are run for comparison. Pay is alright. $47/hr and on-call is $8/hr. Have over 3 years of experience. Most people are pretty friendly. The friendly ones are starting to leave now, unfortunately.

Cons

Management doesn't fix problems. They won't respond to emails. Often don't have specimen printers, patient moving boards, etc. Tons of extra timeouts are kind of inconvenient (pre-op, pre-anesthesia, and pre-incision). Parking and commute are hassles. You can't park next to the hospital unless you are a doctor or advanced practitioner. At least 30min per day wasted on bus to and from hospital from parking tower I'm assigned. So much traffic to get to and from work. On call is very tiring. They frequently assign 7pm-7am overnight call right after 12hr shifts and then want you to stay because night shift didn't show up. Call requirement is at least 48hrs per month. Most OR rooms are super messy and badly stocked. ...Seems like more and more bad people are getting promoted to management positions. My immediate manager is good. The ones over her are not that great.
