Pros

I genuinely love working at the NIH. All of my colleagues are smart, dedicated, and kind - people are here because of the public health mission, rather than to make a name for themselves. The work is interesting and intellectually stimulating, and very rewarding. I'm never bored.

Cons

Sometimes there's a lot of government bureaucracy, for example with arranging travel.

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.
