Pros

There are so many wonderful training opportunities and scientific seminars to attend while at NIH. It's a diverse work place where collaborations between scientists easily occur.

Cons

NIH only allows trainees to stay for 5 years. Sometimes a project is not complete in 5 years, but is close to publication. NIH will not extend the employee beyond 5 years unless there are unusual circumstances.

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.
