Pros

I have great unit managers who try really hard to help their staff - but it's a UPMC problem.

Cons

Terrible benefits. You have to PAY to ride a shuttle to get to work. The shuttle is often late and completely packed. I literally feel like I'm a UPMC minion walking into work to clock-in. No lunch breaks on my unit. Staff/patient ratios are very unsafe. Everyone on my unit is quitting - they are hiring new people. But what happens when all the experienced people leave and it's an entire unit of new nurses? I'm getting out as soon as I can. This summer was terrible.

Pros

No pros. It was a horrible place to work

Cons

If you were night shift, you had to work every holiday. The nurses were so lazy and never helped us. We ran around taking care of patients with no help. Changing them, cleaning up horrible messes, taking them to the bathroom and doing vitals with no help. Nurses would sit there eating while on Facebook, while we did all the work. Some would even be sleeping!
