Pros

Very flexible hours. Kind people.

Cons

From the moment I started this job there was no real type of training or manual, it was more like one day of here try this out. From then on you are just thrown into the job and at first it is not that bad but then work load quickly builds to unbearable. My coworkers are underpaid and we are understaffed, we continue to get more employees but the turn over rate is so fast people leave before we can staff. Perhaps other jobs in this company are better but as far as recruitment, I have personally never seen worse.

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
