Some post-doctoral fellows, desperate to publish, take credit for your work Having an advanced education may not necessarily advance your career Authorship is sometimes not based on merit, but political favors

Pros

Working with the some of the smartest scientists and clinicians in the world. So many learning opportunities. Kind patients. Allowed time to care for patients as there is no pressure of quotas by health insurance.

Cons

Nursing management can be verbally abusive with frequent retaliation and intimidation. As most older nurses have worked there for most of their career, they are dismissive of new perspectives and resistant to evidence-based practice.
