Pros
Benefits, good healthcare/medical experience especially for nursing, med school, PA or pharmacy. Bladder scans give you sonography/ultrasound experience, & crisis pay
Cons
Low pay, poor management, spoken concerns go unnoticed, low staffing, there can be up to 5 patient sits on a unit that drastically understaffs units, some patients can be rude, disrespectful, mean, needy & high maintenence, nurses are trouble makers who start drama & spread your personal business around got the nerve to not even help PCAs when theres 1 on the floor, they snitch on you for any little thing & talk to you like trash being rude & disrespectful but when you defend yourself they snitch to the manager, nursee always get away with everything they do wrong & PCAs get thrown under the bus. The staffing never send PCAs to units for extra staffing. Job is stressful, tiring & draining. It blows your back out even as a young person & your feet hurt. You're always rushed or asked to do another task while you're doing a task. Nurses & ASAs can be impatient with you knowing you're busy. Patient rooms can be dirty & you're at risk of catching something they have even with PPE on. Policy dictates how many times you can call out in a year (7 call outs)
