So I’ve always worked in the top facilities, I’m a very good nurse, meaning I care a lot about my patients , I have a lot of empathy as a person, like most nurses. However, here in Atlanta there’s a lot of facilities where that seems to be lacking a lot. I need a part time nursing job that the hours are 7-3 2-3 days a week, the only facilities hiring for that have terrible reviews from employees to patients. The pay is way higher at these facilities too for a reason. I start tomorrow but I’m worried can a good nurse handle working in that environment or should us good nurses try to make a difference in a terrible place?

As mentioned, usually better$$$, some can't afford to leave, especially if they have a prime schedule that allows for other life obligations

I go into "bad" facilities all the time in my current position, and find they all have a few hidden gems. Usually it's management that's the problem, not the staff. Be a gem, and you'll be fine!
