Pros

SwedishAmerican doctors and nurses are the best.

Cons

Insurance is a joke. SwedishAmerican is self insured and merged with UW, however if you want to go to a UW you need to get permission from HR. This applies to non-standard/generic prescriptions as well. HR does not need to know why I my doctor has referred me to a doctor outside the network, or why he feels a specific prescription may work better.

Pros

Most of the clinical staff are very caring of each other and of their patients, despite the difficult work environment. It is impressive how much the staff accomplishes with their limited resources.

Cons

Admin and upper management are constantly doing things that inhibit good patient care. Communication is only allowed from top down. Department managers, even if they are well-meaning, are trained to manage in an oppressive manner. Many departments turn over their staff as often as once a year, due to poor treatment and despite having few other employment opportunities.

Pros

Benefits, some co-workers, pretty much unlimited OT if you want it.

Cons

Management is a joke. No formal policies are given to you when you start so when you vilolate something you didn't know you did your fired. You can appeal it within 30 days in HR but HR backs up mgr who didn't give you policies in the first place. So short staffed that nurses sometimes have 6-7 patients which is very dangerous. One of my co-workers told me they are short staffed. I asked her if it's our floor and she said it's the whole hospital. They try and call nurses in to our floor to help out and nobody came in. They declined. They are all burned out. Place is a joke.
