Pros

Good graduate nurse program. You get 3-6 months of orientation basically for free and an easy commitment for a couple of years. Then you have your experience and can move around.. And work elsewhere.

Cons

Timid middle management--our manager wants us to "giggle" more. Was hoping there might be a better answer for short-staffing, high acuities, negative morale and high stress. Since there is no longer a nursing shortage there is little incentive to retain nurses who have identified issues and want to find solutions..they too easily get labeled as "problems". Was hoping a teaching hospital would have less of a corporate feel--bottom line is almighty dollar.

Pros

I absolutely loved volunteering here. The program was organized, and it made me so happy to bring a smile to people's faces.

Cons

Sometimes we did not have much contact with the heads of the volunteer program.

Pros

None that I can possibly share. This is by far the worst place I've ever worked for and I absolutely regret applying here. Save yourself, don't apply, don't stay long.

Cons

Revolving door in every department. HR is a disaster. People are underpaid and burned out. UCHealth spreads like a parasite in Colorado by purchasing hospitals, underpaying employees, and not competing with pricing. Worst yet, it does not pay taxes at Coloradan's expense. DORA and UCHealth are supported by the state and if you are discriminated you will find no justice. Absolute corruption. They need to be audited and penalized by the state more often for many reasons.
