Pros
CE benefits are great. If you’re new to the field, they’ll literally teach you everything (at the expense of their experienced nurses)
Cons
Absolutely horrendous communication. How many times do we need to request that the schedule be done within an appropriate timeframe? It make zero sense. We won’t get our schedule until less than a week and a half before the new month starts. Then it will be for two months at a time, even though we allegedly have up until 30 days before the start of a scheduled to request PTO. So if someone requests time, the schedule will change anyway. We had senior nurses who wanted to help with the schedule and they got demoted or fired. Most of the nurses with experience who opened the hospital are gone. The experienced nurses we do have left are burnt out trying to train personality hires with no experience. All but one of our shift leads are now gone after less than 6 months. Now they want to open a second Philly hospital when we can’t even staff the first one.
