Pros

None at the moment. It was a good place to work where everyone practice all the core values.

Cons

Unsafe for patient. All nurses who complained regarding the safety of the patients being threatened to be fired. ICU RNs was forced to take more than 3 patients. No break time or lunch time provided. No relief nurses provided. When a nurse was not given a break time or did not clock out for break because there was nobody to relief the nurse, management wrote up the nurse and threatened the nurse to be fired. There are too many freelancer RNs who were not even qualified to take care of ICU patient. Many medications and procedure or paperwork errors were done and if it was not reported through UOR, management would make verbal harassment against that nurse. This place did not hold its core values to the fullest. Pay sucks, human resource in cahoots with management to cut your years of experience. I have proofs. In all very unsafe place to work and very toxic place to work.

Pros

(This is for Providence St Vincent Medical Center in PDX) - staffing ratios - break nurses - ONA union - coworkers on my unit are very helpful and kind (can’t speak for every unit though)

Cons

- upper management hates the nursing union - we are short on many supplies on weekend night shifts - crappy insurance - my unit’s manager is almost never there, they’re always on vacation or working remote. This makes our manager very out of touch with the unit’s needs
