Pros
Sometimes there is teamwork, but not really.
Cons
The schedule is that you have to work the same three days every week all year long. Sound not that bad? Well if your days fall on a holiday or a personal day you need off GOOD LUCK getting coverage you are basically SOL, and that's how upper management handles it anyway. Also some nurses just got lucky basically never having to work a weekend ever!! Then others have to work every single weekend!! Even the PRNs are forced to sign a contract stating they will work 2 major holidays and 4 minor ones. I have never worked in a hospital where they don't rotate weekends and holidays. Get yourself together admin!! Also they will over staff nurses to prophylactically cover for call ins thus creating A LOT of cancelations - especially after you forced yourself to sleep all day to have rest for a night shift then you are canceled!! Such terrible turn over!!!
