Pros: One of my favorite contracts, stayed a year through the strike. Staff great on every floor. Ratios are real: MS 1:5, onc 1:4, IMC/PCU 1:3, and they try to make assignments fair even with high acuity. …
Cons: Paid parking. Nurses have struck multiple times over staffing and wages. Don't call out even with a doctor's note, people say they'll DNR you from the whole RWJBarnabas system.
