Cardiology

AMC is currently suffering from a surge of elderly patients, the ED does not have enough space, so hall beds are conjured up out of thin air without notice. The Chrage nurse will assign multiple patients from EMS or the waiting room without warning, into these imaginary hallway beds and some of these patients can be extremely critical, with no cardiac monitor or privacy. During my experience, patients have coded without an available crash cart or provider near by. Your license will be at risk here.

Is it worth it?

The facility is not traveler friendly. It’s seems that most travelers have an issue with their contract, whether it be the hours or the shifts(days/nights). Permanent staff is very territorial. In a good note, no call.

travel staff get the worst assignments. staffing is very poor. scheduling is rigid with no opportunities to switch. management openly rude to travel staff

CVICU

Some colleagues were great, others not so much. Management is the big problem and they don’t have your back. Culture is very similar to high school Mean Girls.

Mental Health

I got to the job and they told there was no job even though they had my name they were getting nurse to be ready for a future need.

Poor parking and not enough staff

Utilization Review

Horrible management. If they are short you will have 8:1 even on critical floors

Do not care about staff, especially travel nurses

One of the busiest facilities I have ever worked at. This job doesn't pay you nearly as much as you should get for the work you do. This is the only level 1 trauma for a massive area. The facility itself is absolutely filthy. They take on way more patients than what they have room for. 
This is the type of hospital that is geared more towards making money vs taking care of their pts. 
The average hospital in the states orders about 15k CT scans per year. This facility ordered over 73k in one year. It's like they get paid per CT scan.
They rescan pts that were just scanned at an outside facility. So the pts receive way more radiation and contrast than what they should. 
Ortho orders CTs like they can't do their job without it. 
They don't staff the way they should here and they don't care. 
A major issue I noticed was how long it took for them to fix a scanner when it was down. It took over a week. At a facility like this, that should be a bigger deal than what they made it. 
I hope to never work here again. I would have to be desperate to sign here for another contract.

Got a 10:1 assigned management did nothing to help out. Got accused, abused by patient informed managemnt, they did nothing but felt like just feel it up buttercup

Not Rochester

Phlebotomist
