Pros

Best benefits in the area, clean facility, clinical ladder advancement, good relationships with staff and physicians, great patients, good teamwork

Cons

Lack of seasoned nurses and physicians. Hard to find a nurse that’s been a nurse on any unit with more than 2 years experience, besides the icu. Hard to get patients who need to go to the icu accepted. More focused on being an elite unit oppose to patient safety. Icu nurses will not float to floor if needed. Many of the hospitalists just finished residency. Resource nurses and support when staffing low is minimal- no extra staff and certain units always favored despite acuity and need.
