Pros

Intern programs abound.....with a catch......an easy 2 years of med/surg....if you work nights....they're gonna dangle the day-shift carrot for some....otherwise be prepared to pay back $7k plus. People do not need to get along, they must serve the share-holders, your morale means nothing.

Cons

You are no one. You must feed the statistics or leave.....oh wait, you can't leave, you have a contract......suck it up.....you have 6 patients (average acuity of 3-3.5), discharge 2, pick up one from ER and one from PCU that shouldn't be on your floor. Yep, HCA cares.....about profit.......don't forget to tell your patients "Is there anything else you need? I have the time." HCA is making a ton of profit, so you can make a sub-standard wage that they tell you you should be thankful for. The climate of corporate profit seeps into everything they do.

Pros

There some flexibility with scheduling and they let you pick up as many shifts as you want and pretty much your own schedule.

Cons

Very poorly managed, chronically understaffed but managers are dismissive and deny it. The support from staff is inconsistent, the staff nurses are either fresh new grads or very bitter nurses who don’t want to help and expect you to handle everything by yourself as a tech. Most nurses here are PRN’s on contracts that get floated so it’s really hard to expect consistency in the staff you work with and build trusting relationships. Management will promise to train you as a unit secretary but will never follow up. They also agree to help you get opportunities for learning and growth but refuse to follow up or forget about it altogether, despite reminders. It’s not a priority. If your goal is to grow and learn more this is not the place. It’s running on fumes at 95% of the time. Very high turnover, we struggle to keep staff. They’ll call you in to pick up when they’re understaffed with no incentive or something minimal like “swag” (some gear). Very poorly compensated and you will not be appreciated for the hard work you do. Also it took 2 months for them to get me started despite numerous attempts to reach the HR, Management etc.
