Pros
The patients you build a relationship with
Cons
- Horrible management - Older nurses hate change and new nurses - Lateral violence - Unfair assignments - Horrible pay - High turn over rate (which they lied during interview when asked) - Would rather jeopardize patient safety - Heavy workload resulting in burnt out nurses - Major disorganization - Nurses express how "easy" it is to steal narcotics - Constant gossip with the whole hospital - During Hurricane Harvey, they sent team A home the night before the code was called because they did not want to pay OT. In result, night shift nurses suffered working both day and night shift for 5 days straight. No place to sleep (slept on the floor or hard PT tables) and no cooks for food until people could make it in. Team B was never called to relieve Team A so the nurses who worked day and night for 5 days straight still came back to their regular scheduled shift and for most that was with one day break. Management could care less when they complained.
