Pros

Good staffing ratio in ER (3:1) Standard pay with standard critical care pay Safety culture and guidelines Positive work culture among peers Having team leads/ supervisors on top of 3:1 staffing Team nursing (can also be a con depending who you ask)

Cons

-Top heavy leadership w/o process in place to allow for policy change or shared governance from the bottom -High levels of leadership involvement and auditing down to day to day nursing care; what is a helping hand one minute can quickly become a burden (some would call this micromanagement). Interactions between team leads/ supervisors and staff nurses over auditing/ patient care can often be negative. Plus with constant new education targeting endless avenues of improvement, you’re left to feel overwhelmed. While the intentions are good, the micromanaging and almost daily new education unintentionally creates an environment of being afraid to “mess up,” leads to conflict without avenues for improvement/ feedback, and stifles critical thinking. -Some doctors left a little to be desired but are manageable to work with so long as you stay on your toes to advocate/ protect your patients

Pros

I have been privileged to work for Northside Hospital for the past five years, and my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. During my tenure, I have benefited from the organization's commitment to employee growth through its annual internal promotion policy, which has allowed me to advance within my current department. One of the aspects I value most is Northside's support for work-life balance and professional development. While working here, I was able to begin my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program from the ground up and am on track to graduate in December 2026. The flexibility and encouragement provided by the organization have played a significant role in helping me pursue my educational goals while continuing to contribute as an employee. I was a full-time employee for most of my career with the organization and recently transitioned to part-time status to accommodate the increased demands of my nursing program. The support and understanding shown by management throughout this process have reinforced my appreciation for the company's employee-centered culture. I am grateful for the opportunities, professional growth, and support I have received over the past five years.

Cons

None that I can think of right now
