Pros
Teaching hospital with eager residents and their attendings.
Cons
From a nursing point of view, Hackensack University Medical Center falls very short. From the outside, you will hear nurses describe it as a "bullying culture." This is too true. But it goes farther than that. This bullying culture takes many shapes and forms, with unit staff literally managing their managers. Misplaced managerial hires are rampant which has caused extraordinarily high turnover. The hospital has yet to take seriously that all of this negatively effects the patients, their care, their feelings of safety and their ability to strongly heal. Travel nurses abound because they take a "business" approach rather than a "community" approach. Honestly, I can't blame them as this is a good way to slough off the toxic environment. HR is disfunctional, otherwise they would be repairing the damage being caused. I was quite ashamed of, and embarrassed for them. I resigned, like so many, and had my next (and most wonderful) nursing position one week later.
