Pros

Good benefits (although they got rid of the 80% tuition reimbursement). Flexible hours. Many units have weekend staff so you don't have to work the weekends unless the weekend staff want a planned vacation. Most of the patient charting is done on the computer.

Cons

If you have a manager/director who likes to play favorites, leave the unit immediately. There are many other nursing units to work at within Emory so keep looking! Proposal for a change in a process or work flow is only accepted/ tolerated/ tried if it comes from someone in management. If a proposal comes from a floor nurse, it gets ignored. Never go to HR or your manager's boss about an issue you've with your manager/nursing director. They will ALWAYS say that YOU are the problem even if you have 20 other nurses saying they have the same issues with the manager/director.

Pros

It's okay... I don't know how other ORs are run for comparison. Pay is alright. $47/hr and on-call is $8/hr. Have over 3 years of experience. Most people are pretty friendly. The friendly ones are starting to leave now, unfortunately.

Cons

Management doesn't fix problems. They won't respond to emails. Often don't have specimen printers, patient moving boards, etc. Tons of extra timeouts are kind of inconvenient (pre-op, pre-anesthesia, and pre-incision). Parking and commute are hassles. You can't park next to the hospital unless you are a doctor or advanced practitioner. At least 30min per day wasted on bus to and from hospital from parking tower I'm assigned. So much traffic to get to and from work. On call is very tiring. They frequently assign 7pm-7am overnight call right after 12hr shifts and then want you to stay because night shift didn't show up. Call requirement is at least 48hrs per month. Most OR rooms are super messy and badly stocked. ...Seems like more and more bad people are getting promoted to management positions. My immediate manager is good. The ones over her are not that great.
