I have been working at Sutter Health full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
Mission-driven, care-centered approach. Wide -ranging opportunities. Strong values. Flexibility.
Cons
Change is constant, so you have to be comfortable amidst some organized chaos.
I worked at Stanford Health Care full-time for less than a year
Pros
Nurses there are so friendly and supportive no matter which unit you go to! All the staff you interact with seem to be happy and enjoy working there. I was a travel nurse who stayed for 3 contracts... because of how much I loved it- if I chose to stay in the Bay Area, I definitely would have stayed there permanently! M5 (Kidney/Liver transplant) is such a wonderful unit to join if you ever consider working there!
Cons
I had no complaints while working here.
