Pros

I have always loved making babies and Sharp let me do so.

Cons

Sharp is focused on "Magnet Status" and therefor they are getting rid of experienced nurses in lieu of new grads with no experience on how to treat critical situations. Sharp is not what it used to be.

Thank you for your service as a nurse with Sharp and for providing your feedback. Earning the Magnet Designation is a great honor that recognizes our nursing excellence and high-quality patient care. We value all of our nurses. The organization wouldn't be where we are today without their hard work, commitment, diverse experience and skills.

Pros

Coworkers were nice people to work with.

Cons

Management is HORRIBLE! Too many clicks and don't have a clue what they're doing. They lie, play favoritism and have no idea how to many. Everyone there was unhappy but the few that

Pros

We are always staffed appropriately with all the tools to do my job and to do it well. We all get our 10 minute and 30 minutes breaks always someone to cover for you. There is no scrounging around for supplies, a helping hand, or fighting for a computer terminal. Although the current staff feels that the building we are in is old, compared to the places I used to work its quite alright but excited for our move to our shiny building. Management is engaged does things the right way instead of trying to take the easy or most profitable way.

Cons

Rarely but the patients can be a little bit demanding or entitled. I can appreciate a 30 minute wait to see a highly skilled healthcare professional and we really do our best to get the patients to a healthcare provider quickly but sometimes the patients and their family members can be rude to staff. Although we bend over backwards there are other patients who have emergencies and the staff must tend to the sicker patients first our apologies.
