Pros

Beautiful campus. We had lots of camaraderie before January 2025. We still have some activities and some great leaders. The mission is admirable. NIH has some of the best staff in government. Sadly many were let go - just like at other agencies. All of government is tough right now but hopefully we can rise above when all is said and done.

Cons

New leadership is under the thumb of political people

Pros

Working with the some of the smartest scientists and clinicians in the world. So many learning opportunities. Kind patients. Allowed time to care for patients as there is no pressure of quotas by health insurance.

Cons

Nursing management can be verbally abusive with frequent retaliation and intimidation. As most older nurses have worked there for most of their career, they are dismissive of new perspectives and resistant to evidence-based practice.
