Pros: Most people very welcoming and friendly. 1 hour breaks in the ICU. Good resources, overall an easy assignment. Amazing cafeteria and free garage. Epic, navy scrubs.
Cons: Floated about 2/3 of shifts from SICU to MS/tele, sometimes halfway through. A few charges were extra nitpicky. Med-surg floors vary a lot in acuity.
