Some of the nurses can act arrogant and show hostility toward others!

Business outlook

Pros

I needed the experience and the practice and had to endure at least a year or so.

Cons

Some of the staff nurses can act arrogant, has a mean attitude, and show hostility toward other staff because of the favoritism here! The head nurse give preferential treatment to some, and while they enjoy it, the rest of us suffer! Most of their work get passed on to us when we already have a lot on our plate but the head nurse would allow them to! it's obviously unfair and it feels terrible!

Pros

You learn how to work under high pressure.

Cons

Very stressful workloads, long hours, and a hectic work environment. I was pretty much burnt out and exhausted 24/7 during my time here, and it didn’t help that some of the managers here were abusive and obnoxious.
