The staff is very nice and travel friendly. Treat me as one of them. One of the two charge nurses is travel friendly. The other makes stupid reassignments to ensure you’re constantly working and in a room. They have pretty much all the supplies you could want or need in stock. So no shortages. The manager is sweet  and she does the scheduling but doesn’t really put the travelers shifts in a row so specify that in your contract if you’re traveling far. Call is fairly distributed but you guaranteed will be being called in on the weekends. SPD is pretty much the same as everywhere some days great and some not. Sometimes not enough drill boxes to go around so equipment is occasionally a struggle. The team leaders do a great job at helping you and getting you what you need and trouble shooting. Where this place lacks is team work. No one goes out of their way to give breaks or help you move patients. There is staff that does absolutely nothing all day sometimes.  Biggest flaw is it’s an extremely young OR so there’s a lot of incorrect counts, and by incorrect I mean like these people have left sponges inside people repeatedly. Which is scary. Overall little drama, as long as you show up to work and actually work you’re good. Just be strict with your counts.

Work Environment

Culture

OR - Operating Room

Med Surg / Telemetry

10 hour shifts, rarely got a full lunch of 45 min. Never offered a bathroom break. You will not leave your room the entire ten hours except for lunch. Many nurses have a 'that's not my job' attitude when it comes to helping open and clean the room. Management knows. They can't survive without travelers but have a poor attitude about travelers. Saying they should do twice the work and work with the difficult doctors. It's just a poor culture. Pay rate declines every extension. They also try to poach travelers to perm staff.

Compensation

Great doctors, goes down hill fast

Certified Surgical Technologist

Not travel friendly. Manager and supervisor made it very clear they did not want travelers. Staff clicky.

Med Surg

Just don’t. Nothing can make working here doing able.

Awful. To the wolf’s you go.
