Business Outlook
Pros
Patients' length of stay is anywhere from 2-12 or more weeks. You really get to know your patients and families. You truly make a difference, and you are very much appreciated by the families you serve. Teamwork is on point also - nurses, PCTs, doctors, and therapists work together to achieve high levels of patient satisfaction and greater patient outcomes. I've worked at many hospitals, and the teamwork here is unparalleled. Nurses were all just given a 10% raise, so pay is extremely competitive.
Cons
You are ALWAYS short-staffed. Always. I understand that this is a problem at all hospitals, but having 8 patients to 1 nurse during a PM shift is absolutely unsafe.
