Pros

The best place to get many experiences in government science and many career paths.

Cons

However the culture at the NIH is very limiting and confining, leading to stifled creativity and limited ability for junior scientists to move up the totem pole.

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.
