Pros

The only pros are the benefits and ratios

Cons

Management Very disorganized environment. Nurses are treated as lesser especially by Doctors/ researchers. Nurses normally have to do a bit of everyone’s job at baseline but it’s worse here. We take on a lot of other departments job roles either because they flat out refuse to do their jobs or because the organization has rules in place that limit the extent to which each department can do their own job roles. Very difficult to transition to other roles such as research nurse unless you know someone or want to leave the government and come back as a contractor.

Pros

Gov benefits Lots of good professional resources

Cons

No oversight of PI management. Postdocs are often abused. If you have a problem with your PI don’t expect to get help without serious repercussions even if they claim there won’t be any.

Pros

The only pro attribute of this place is that it is a government job and semi-secure.

Cons

The people in leadership positions are the worst transgressors of equity, fairness, and discrimination. The perpetrators of discrimination are protected in order to preserve the name of NIH appearing in the news media for some of the worst transgressions ever committed, and all of them are committed in the name of 'PROGRESS & INCLUSION'.
