Nova Scotia Health Authority Employee Reviews for Registered Nurse

I enjoyed my positions on three units. The staff were hardworking and tried their best to meet patient needs. As in any environment, there are a small few that do not meet the same criteria

Fast paced environment Always learning new skills and tasks daily The hardest part of the job is keeping up with the workload demand and doing it safely The most enjoyable part of the job is the relationship I have with my supportive co-works and patients

sexist managers

Registered Nurse (RN) (Current Employee) - Halifax Regional Municipality, NS - 28 February 2018

if you are male, you wont (for the most part) get hired here. they have the odd token male but it is a non-male dominated workforce and they arent letting go. i have seen qualified male candidates declined over new grads. managers will look for someone that kowtows to them. these same managers are unbelievably rude and condescending to male staff called in from local agencies. i have been watching this for years and it is disheartening to see so many (but not all) men head elsewhere as soon as they can.

Pros

that the men get to escape

Cons

everything

good co-workers

There are alot of great oppurtunities to excell your career at this hospital. The best thing about working here is the people you work with. I would recommend my floor to others.

Pros

self scheduling

Cons

unsupported staff regarding patient to nurse abuse
