Pros

Institutes are generally committed to good science.

Cons

Never happy with the overall management at central NIH, even as a senior leader at an institute. Unqualified people continue to be promoted b/c they're the favorites of the last of the good old boy network.

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.
