      Pros

      Great experience for an 1102. Work with professional program/science officials to accomplish mission. Overall, NIH is a wonderful place to work, depending on the Institute.

      Cons

      Management doesn’t promote from within. Lack of direction. There were instances of discrimination, based on race and gender, in the NIMH section of the NIDA COAC. Complaints to management relegated to a makeshift suggestion box. The workload was unrealistic for any individual on the team.

      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.
