Give me the "inside scoop" on Legacy Emanuel

I am moving from Seattle to Portland soon and have accepted a position at Emanuel. Can someone (preferably a current or former employee) tell me what the hospital is really like for nursing. I know that they do "self scheduling" there and have had no prior experince with this. Is this good/bad? Am I going to get totally screwed on the schedule because I'm the new guy (i.e. seniority issues)? Also, I know there is no union there--is this an issue? I would much appreciate any input. Thanks..
