Pros

Coworkers are great, they really care and want to help. The current Med/Surg Director is really trying hard, and gets how hard we work, and how it impacts patient care and experience. I am well compensated, but shifts can be brutal.

Cons

Acute care (Med/Surg unit) nurses regularly have 6 patients, which is just not safe. We are not allowed a unit clerk/secretary, and there are no transporters in the building. Current senior leadership just doesn't get it. Hopefully the new director can make a difference.

Pros

Key West has a diverse an amazing patient population. The long time staff (there are few left) are more like family than co-workers.

Cons

This is a challenging time for Healthcare in general. The challenges with retaining experienced staff is an issue (and a scary one) that I believe is not exclusive to Lower Keys. Key West additionally has a unique set of challenges related to the cost of living being so high.
