Very little I can think of to rate this experience positively. Coming from the #2 children’s hospital in the country, my expectations were most likely too high, but I didn’t think it would be this bad.
Lack of communication, teamwork, and flexibility.
The pay was good
As a traveler, we were hired to staff their pediatric cardiac ICU but were not told that upon hire. So we were floated 85% of the time. We were not given help most of the time when we asked on the floors we floated to. You have no say so in your schedule even though they said you would self schedule. So you hardly got more than 2 days off in a row. You also worked part of every single weekend. Very unsafe when floated to other floors. You will be given central lines, drips that are not common in NICU, AV pacer wires, chest tubes, ect. Just be prepared.
