Pros
If you're an RN, or a provider role that the website has conveyed is critically understaffed, the hospital seems to provide incentives in an effort to step away from Travellers.
Cons
The culture here is beyond toxic, and is permanently stuck in some strange highschool-esque land. There are a considerable number of travellers on the RN side of things, which gives the organic / local nurses a strange amount of power and trust. Though that power is probably just given through the fear that people will walk. Individuality isn't something that I suggest sporting if you're looking to work here as anything that isn't at or above Nurse levels of importance. Security cameras with microphones that're able to be reviewed by a board or the relevant department manager for each area, is probably the only way that this place can get better. The department director that I'd spoken with and a few people from HR, acknowledge that the hospital has a terrible culture and work environment problem. The response however, was "We have to meet the culture where it is, and work at it over time". This hospital ~lives~ via government grants and contracts from State, Federal and Fort Drum sources...and uses that to keep Carthage and Gouverneur from growing it seems. With no competition, why rock the boat by trying to improve things? Don't make an impression with the people in power, and you'll last long. What a depressing piece of advice.
