Pros
Co-workers and direct manager of the ICU are cool. People are helpful. Shifts are reasonable. Good place to retire as a nurse. Workload usually is manageable. Mostly staffed well and you get breaks.
Cons
Call offs, census sometimes low. Basically on call without pay for 4 hours, then might get called in to work at regular pay or called off rest of the night. Training not so great. They do have classes to do cool things, but they don't come in too often. Some of the training for devices has been delayed. They play pretty hardball with contract negotiations. Current contract negotiation is at around 5+ months with no agreement. As a result, the nurses here are currently underpaid compared to nearby hospitals. My understanding is they're trying to pass on a percentage of health insurance increases to staff and there is a disagreement on staffing levels.
