Pros

The team within Emergency Services is great very helpful and close knit. My direct supervisor is also great. Not much micromanaging and will also stand up for staff when we speak up about concerns. The position is also one of the better paying options with a bachelors in Psychology without extensive experience. There is a differential for second and third shifts (5 and 10 percent respectively). There is also a differential for all shifts on weekends (10,15, and 20 percent respectively) lots of opportunities for overtime as well if interested.

Cons

There is tension between staff (techs and nurses) on the units and staff within Emergency Services mainly due to the lack of staff on the unit. The lack of staff on the unit has gotten pretty bad and can be a safety concern.

Cons

I am writing this review to inform any Registered Nurse considering employment at this facility to proceed with extreme caution. There are serious and ongoing concerns related to patient safety, ethical nursing practice, and staff treatment. Nurses are routinely placed in positions where clinical judgment is undermined by non-clinical administration, and there is a pattern of coercion to perform actions that do not align with nursing standards or patient presentation. The work environment is hostile and fear-based, with retaliation against nurses who advocate for patients, follow evidence-based practice, or raise legitimate safety concerns. Staff are discouraged from speaking up, and issues reported through proper channels are often met with intimidation rather than resolution. Additionally, there are significant safety lapses, including unsecured patients, inadequate admission and screening processes, and poor coordination between emergency services and unit staff. These conditions place both patients and nurses at unnecessary risk. Multiple experienced nurses have left abruptly due to these conditions, and morale among remaining staff is extremely low. Documentation integrity, scope of practice boundaries, and respectful communication are ongoing issues that any RN should carefully consider. If you value patient advocacy, professional autonomy, ethical practice, and a supportive leadership structure, this facility may not be the right fit. I strongly encourage prospective nurses to ask detailed questions, speak to current and former staff, and trust your instincts before accepting a position here. Your license, mental health, and professional integrity matter.
