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.

Pros
after a one week strike, Stanford realized that the RNs were right in stating our acuities were much higher than in community hospital. They have agreed that RNs need to be attracted to working and living in the Bay Area- highest cost of living in the country
Cons
Top heavy with admin. They haven't been to the bedside in decades and have no clue how difficult it is. There are six levels of admin between a bedside nurse and the CEO....20 years ago, maybe 3 levels. Not sure what they do all day, but Stanford a not for profit hospital has made millions of dollars every year

Long commute that was stressful and too much time
- Former Employee★★★★★

Cons
hard to transfer to the ICU from the floor as a bedside nurse.. but not impossible!
