Amazing experience! Learned a lot! I’ve been an RT since 2005! I think every RT should experience high intensity, level I trauma at least once in their career.. Even if it’s ultimately not for you…

Great ratios and appropriate work load. However working as float pool I’ve been on majority of the units and most staff are very clicky and are not traveler friendly so it’s basically fend for yourself.

Staff aren’t Welcoming

Pediatrics ER - Emergency Room

Cooper isn't travel friendly! There is a definite "us vs them" culture amongst 90% of the staff. The ironic part about the OR is there are more travelers than staff, they clearly need the travelers help, but they make it hard for us. Stay away if possible, there are plenty of other hospitals. The management is awful at best and they need to replace them with outsiders so that up to date knowledge and ideas can flow through that place. I was truly surprised at the level of practice they didn't possess being a LEVEL 1 trauma center.

I signed a 36hr contract but worked 48 each week for the first month. Then they were overstaffed cancelling up to 18 nurses a shift so I would always be on the chopping block because of my OT. One week they’d be overstaffed and the next under. HR need some guidance. All my OT shifts were cancelled for 2 months straight. Never again will I work as a Float. Not knowing what unit I’ll be on until an hour prior to shift just doesn’t sit right with my soul. And same goes for cancelling, they cancel you 2hrs prior to shift start and the day is already over so you can’t even plan around it. Oh the random floating to units with no experience in. So weird. I’m Med/Surg why am I in PACU? Or the Tele room? No orientation whatsoever it’s literally sink or swim. Cafeteria food is trash. Only good thing is the ratio was 4:1 max because they were on the brink of strike.

Be prepared to get cancelled

Float to different unit each shift, most techs and some rn’s are not helpful, routinely get the heaviest assignments.
