Pros

Decent unit culture. Compared with previous jobs, most physicians I've encountered are approachable and have collaborative relationships with nursing. Because of organization's reputation, most patients who get in have been vetted and are pleasant/participatory in their care. Looks good on a resume.

Cons

Mediocre benefits, especially for an organization that prides on itself for being the best in its class in the country. Pay is not commensurate with amount of responsibility (many total care and complex patients with VADs, trachs, wounds, etc.; 5:1 or 6:1 ratios on days/evenings.) Organization is currently experiencing severe growing pains (move to new hospital, rebranding). EXTREMELY disorganized from a payroll/HR perspective; I have needed to fill out manual time sheets for over a month because of issues with the time clock. Out-of-touch upper management that appears to make decisions in a vacuum (at least from a nursing perspective.) Difficult to coordinate nursing care, because in a rehab setting, you work around therapy rather than the other way around.
