Pros

You get to contribute to work that makes other people's lives better. Good work/life balance. Medical benefits are good (although very Evergreen centric), most people are nice to work with. Pay was good.

Cons

Skimpy time off - only 6 paid holidays 401 match - need to be vested for 5 years Lack of training Many co-workers over-worked Poor management (the reason I left) Hospital has a big budget shortfall, so future is somewhat uncertain

Pros

-The hospital is a community hospital, run by comity elected by the city of Kirkland, WA -RN resident program is great, it's a year-long and they really make sure you feel comfortable before taking patients on your own -Nurse educators are amazing and great resources -Unit managers care a lot and want to see you succeed -Culture is pretty solid, we all want to see each other do well -Union is strong -Facility is beautiful, with private rooms for patients -Break rooms are nice -Incentive pay is offered frequently -Very welcoming to travelers -A "code lavender" was created that you could call if you as a staff member required emotional support after a challenging event

Cons

-Lower pay than other hospitals on the east side, and far less than nurses working in Seattle -New residents sign a contract for 1 year on the floor they're hired on and 1 additional year at the hospital or pay a fine -Staffing ratios are 1:5 on days and 1:6 on nights -Holiday pay is only for 8 hours of your shift that occur within the holiday (because we previously had 8-hour shifts and after we moved to 12s it was never changed) -Upper management is out of touch with the day-to-day issues staff face -Staffing is poor, we're constantly being asked to pick up -Unit managers are expected to do so much that they become burnt out quickly -Lots of safety issues with aggressive/ abusive patients (mostly in ED and on 8 Silver) -No panic buttons in rooms -No dedicated behavioral health unit -One psychiatrist for the entire hospital that only works day shift

Urgent care

Pros

Great team a lot of hard working health care employees on the floor.

Cons

Management. It’s all about those bonuses for them. Keeping the overhead down. So they run you into the ground and replace you with the next. The turn over rate is so bad there. To many safety issues and no one gets their breaks because they’ll have 2 docs and maybe 3 MA’s running 8 rooms and there is no cap. It’s insane. Not healthy.
