Pros

Physicians are trying to do best by the patients (but are really overworked and unsuppoted. The hospitalists in particular are abused). The hospital just added a medical residency program that they want to make money on and not spend a dime to support.

Cons

Everything is managed by "the division" 800 miles away by folks who have no clue what they are doing. Money is the only outcome that seems to matter. They are willing to lose staff and force employees to provide substandard care in order to make money. It is absurd that they are acting as a tertiary care center and accepting patients that they are not equipped to take care of.

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.
