Pros
Ratios-5-6:1, mostly 6:1. Coworkers were awesome!
Cons
No flexibility with your schedule. They just float you whenever, doesn’t matter if you were floated every shift for weeks. They cater to certain RNs that refuse to work certain units. Director over my unit believes she shouldn’t be bothered on her days off but you can be interrupted on your days off.
