Pros
Wonderful co-workers, teaching hospital with many wonderful clinicians, beautiful and safe rural community with people from all over the world drawn by the hospital, great team work. On my unit, schedulers try very hard to accommodate individual scheduling preferences and requests.
Cons
Individuals feel expendable but management is slow to approve and hire replacements, which means either short-staffed shifts or lots of "voluntary" overtime. Sometimes an extra monetary incentive is in place to compensate nurses for staying an extra 4 or 8 hours, taking extra shifts, or coming in 4 hours early, but this incentive is not always available on all units--it comes and goes on mine.
