Pros

The only pros are the benefits and ratios

Cons

Management Very disorganized environment. Nurses are treated as lesser especially by Doctors/ researchers. Nurses normally have to do a bit of everyone’s job at baseline but it’s worse here. We take on a lot of other departments job roles either because they flat out refuse to do their jobs or because the organization has rules in place that limit the extent to which each department can do their own job roles. Very difficult to transition to other roles such as research nurse unless you know someone or want to leave the government and come back as a contractor.

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.
