Pros

Some of the staffs are very nice and willing to help each other

Cons

The hospital experiences a high turnover rate, with many registry nurses receiving easier cases due to their unfamiliarity with the charting system and environment. Consequently, full-time staff members often find themselves handling more challenging patients. Within 6-12 months, one can easily become the most senior nurse, resulting in the assignment of high-acuity cases, even without receiving adequate training. Charge nurses tend to make assignments based on favoritism rather than the patients' acuity levels. Night shifts suffer from a shortage of resources, leading to frequent missed meals and breaks. Additionally, monitors and equipment frequently malfunction, for example, computer batteries to be changed up to five times per shift. These issues divert attention away from patient care. House supervisors consistently push for admissions and assignment changes, potentially resulting in unexpected floating to different unit in the middle of the shift. The working environment lacks friendliness, with occurrences of doctors and fellow nurses raising their voices. Surprisingly, even secretaries and schedulers also yell at nurses, indicating a lack of mutual respect among staff members.
