Pros

As a nurse in the IPU, you will see a lot. There will be deaths regularly,it is hospice....

Cons

Adequate training is not provided to the new nurses or new to hospice nurses. The staff nurses do a lot of back stabbing, a lot of assuming that new nurse will know and catch on super fast and they are not patient enough to provide adequate training and answer questions and if they do, it is with much attitude.

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.
