Pros

12 hr shifts (if that’s your thing), usually good RNs to work with, autonomous especially with medications, no force backs, plenty of OT, always learning compared to being on an ambulance, wear any scrubs you want, decent pay, PTO adds up quickly

Cons

Not much room for advancement, some doctors look down on their staff, PTO isn’t approved for about two months, urgent care patients coming into the ED when they really shouldn’t unless they want an ED bill, if something urgent comes up in your personal life you’re responsible to find coverage, benefits are expensive, difficult to find trades

Pros

Growth in the company, innovative. Best care in the area.

Cons

Benefits, specifically for new moms. New moms beware, the insurance sucks. Specifically around breast pumps and supplies. Don’t plan on getting a pump that meets your standards and you can’t do the buy up plan on the medical supply website. If you want to get a different pump, you’ll have to submit a claim with your doctor and pay the difference. Also the portable ones they do cover? Have reviews such has ‘battery life always accurate’, ‘difficult to use’. Lastly if you want to replace parts, also not included. You are expected to use the same plastic parts for the entirety of your pumping journey. They will only replace IF the entire machine breaks. And then? I guess you send it in and expect miracles to keep pumping.
