The RT’s in the department were nice (except 1 NICU RT that talks to the nurses about travel RT’. She’s unprofessional).

The older nurses who have been there for 30 years are rude and mean to RT’s travelers in NICU. They do all the retaping of ETT’s, will intubate without telling the RT, make changes on the oscillator and ventilators, and give surfactant. If you are accustomed to being an RT and have autonomy, this is not the place for you. Plus they give you adult floors with the NICU assignment. The Director is aware and there has been a rotating door of travelers, and the Director does not care! It’s really sad to see a place where RT’s are mistreated and the Directors doesn’t care.
