Excellent colleagues, a good environment for research, top-notch equipment and facilities

Cons

No room for career growth. This is more stable than a private sector job but nothing like a tenured academic job.

Pros

Working with the some of the smartest scientists and clinicians in the world. So many learning opportunities. Kind patients. Allowed time to care for patients as there is no pressure of quotas by health insurance.

Cons

Nursing management can be verbally abusive with frequent retaliation and intimidation. As most older nurses have worked there for most of their career, they are dismissive of new perspectives and resistant to evidence-based practice.
