Pros

I get to work with to experts in their field and be involved in cutting- edge research and scientific programs

Cons

Any federal government organization is going to have its quirks - the infrastructure can be rigid and annoying but at the end of the day everything works out the way it should, just takes longer

Pros

Working with the some of the smartest scientists and clinicians in the world. So many learning opportunities. Kind patients. Allowed time to care for patients as there is no pressure of quotas by health insurance.

Cons

Nursing management can be verbally abusive with frequent retaliation and intimidation. As most older nurses have worked there for most of their career, they are dismissive of new perspectives and resistant to evidence-based practice.
