Pros

As someone who has worked multiple jobs in healthcare (CNA in nursery home and PCU) being a scribe in an ED has been by far the greatest experience. I intend to go to PA school and this has truly prepared me for a future in medicine. I have seen MI, strokes, codes, severe lacerations, even a birth in our ED. All of these are things that you would not see until much later in our medical career. I have been there for 2 years and am extremely grateful for all the things I have learned during this time.

Cons

It depends on the area, but for me no one in management is above the age of 25. Management constantly changes making consistency difficulty. I have had both great and awful leaders, each completely changing the atmosphere of our work environment. Of course the pay is literally awful, I could work at target and get paid more.... or just about anywhere and get paid more. But it is justified because we are student pursuing medicine and therefor we are lucky simply to be paid in "experience".
