Pros

Good staffing ratio in ER (3:1) Standard pay with standard critical care pay Safety culture and guidelines Positive work culture among peers Having team leads/ supervisors on top of 3:1 staffing Team nursing (can also be a con depending who you ask)

Cons

-Top heavy leadership w/o process in place to allow for policy change or shared governance from the bottom -High levels of leadership involvement and auditing down to day to day nursing care; what is a helping hand one minute can quickly become a burden (some would call this micromanagement). Interactions between team leads/ supervisors and staff nurses over auditing/ patient care can often be negative. Plus with constant new education targeting endless avenues of improvement, you’re left to feel overwhelmed. While the intentions are good, the micromanaging and almost daily new education unintentionally creates an environment of being afraid to “mess up,” leads to conflict without avenues for improvement/ feedback, and stifles critical thinking. -Some doctors left a little to be desired but are manageable to work with so long as you stay on your toes to advocate/ protect your patients

Pros

Work from home is great

Cons

Was hired with the impression that over-time hours were a perk for my department. Out of nowhere, it was snatched without any warning to allow employees to prepare financially. I am now struggling financially with a disabled kid with no end in sight. Since overtime was snatched, I’ve experienced homelessness, and struggled to pay day to day expenses. The PTO policy is awful Upper management apparently sits in a throne room and regular employees aren’t allowed to even reach out to them. If we do, we’re ignored. Not sure if it’s just my department, but the culture is to not ask questions and to just deal with sudden changes that disrupt workflow as they come Work/Life balance is a myth
