The good
- Ranked No. 1 university nationally among extra-large institutions in the 2024 USA TODAY National Top Workplaces

The hard parts
- Specific nurse-reported criticisms were not captured in the provided review sources, limiting visibility into workplace concerns
- Described nursing roles are highly specialized (cardiac imaging, electrophysiology, outpatient cardiology), which may not appeal to nurses seeking broader or generalist clinical exposure
- Some roles combine direct patient care with research protocol responsibilities, which may create competing demands on nurse time and attention
