Pros

flexible scheduling, plenty of overtime, awesome patient population, some great staff, learned a lot, fun (at times) and fast-paced environment

Cons

high turnover rate, they're basically looking for a reason to fire you, difficult population at times (autism/intellectual disability), zero room for advancement unless you're a nurse, some bogus behavior plans, constantly feeling unsafe

Pros

No pros. It was a horrible place to work

Cons

If you were night shift, you had to work every holiday. The nurses were so lazy and never helped us. We ran around taking care of patients with no help. Changing them, cleaning up horrible messes, taking them to the bathroom and doing vitals with no help. Nurses would sit there eating while on Facebook, while we did all the work. Some would even be sleeping!
