Pros

Decent pay, some colleagues who are team-oriented, assigned break-relief nurses with pre-set schedules for taking breaks, close-in location with ample parking

Cons

Nursing supervisors are very detached from the day-to-day flow on the unit, they do their rounds and essentially socialize with the charge nurse, ignoring all else, and do not advocate or support safe staffing needs; managers are there as a bridge between the nursing staff and the administrators, enforcing the bottom line; cliques are rampant at this hospital, if you're not one of the chosen ones your life on the unit will be all that more difficult (sometimes impossible).

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
