Pros

Great medical and dental insurance.

Cons

Very heavy assignments, high patient acuity, 8:1 ratios for nurses, have to do both jobs of tech and nurse. The pace is very heavy with little stop. Techs do not understand difference between role and scope of their job vs nurse's job. If techs see you charting or trying to critically think about a patient situation, they assume you are "just sitting around" and will tell you to go answer lights or they disappear, so you are left doing both their job and your own. Some techs are very understanding and good at their jobs. Many patients not appropriate for the intense rehab environment. All in all, difficult hard and heavy job, but with great benefits.

Pros

Great team to work, people are always willing to help each other. The clinicians genuinely care about their patients and it shows every day. You feel like you’re making a difference in patients’ lives. Good teamwork between departments. Leadership listens to feedback and wants the hospital to keep improving. Positive work environment with coworkers who care about doing a good job.

Cons

Healthcare is busy, so some days can be stressful. Things can change quickly, so you have to be flexible. Communication between departments can always improve. Like most hospitals, staffing can be tight at times.
