Pros

Amazing with teaching and doing most up to date evidence based practice interventions. They were very traveler friendly and offered extensions for travelers that had a good work ethic.

Cons

Parking was horrible, had to park far away and or at a parking garage then take a shuttle to and from the hospital which was very confusing at first. Upon being offered an extension of my contract they offered a few hundred dollars off so that was one of main reasons why I didn’t extend my contract.
