Pros
Benefits, Yearly raises, Nursing committees, Educaction oppurtunities, changes in the hospital workings are well communicated, most unit managers are easy to work for & try to work with personal obligsations ie school when it comes to schedules
Cons
Hours that are scheduled, unable to not have a rotating shift unless it is an off shift, lack of respect for nursing in general, pay, it is very hard to advance becuase there are so many nurses for so few postions, the atmosphere is very "who you know" versus "what you know", there isn't enough recognition for good work, punishment for to many calloffs hours that do not take into consideration that many nurses work 12 hour shfts and have children, no assistance with daycare or sick child care so work doesn't have to be missed
