Pros

Satisfying career caring for people who really need help, with very reasonable support from the company for supplies and medicines. No one was ever deprived of anything needed for symptom control, and even most "nice to have for comfort" supplies and assignments were approved.

Cons

Knee-jerk reactions to company stresses such as memos from headquarters or a decline in census. Power for any change was in the hands of the people who were in the program when it started, regardless of their current position or authority.

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.
