Pros

You can make a difference in the lives of patients and families. Rewarding to improve the quality of life during tough times. Better care and respect for clients than rest of medical community. Best pain control for the dying.

Cons

Only nurses have opportunity for career advancement. Inconsistent appreciation of staff. Management is often disrespectful of those who actually provide the care. Leadership skills are lacking in most management.

Pros

Rewarding to help patients and families. No direct patient contact. Good clinical support.

Cons

Extreme micromanagement. Non clinical leadership lacking understanding as to what Triage Nurses do and that not all calls are the same. Management by Exception practiced based on favoritism. Revolving door of Triage Nurses leaving and new hires requiring weeks of training resulting in the department being chronically understaffed.
