Pros

Access to a large number of scientists working on a diverse set of biological problems. Tons of talks on topics that are both related and unrelated to your own research. NIH is like a little city with food courts a gym and even a barber shop.

Cons

Some buildings are not as connected to the rest of the campus and may seem isolating. The pay for postbacs is not easy to live on considering the cost of living in the area.

Pros

Working with the some of the smartest scientists and clinicians in the world. So many learning opportunities. Kind patients. Allowed time to care for patients as there is no pressure of quotas by health insurance.

Cons

Nursing management can be verbally abusive with frequent retaliation and intimidation. As most older nurses have worked there for most of their career, they are dismissive of new perspectives and resistant to evidence-based practice.
