No issues with staff. All were friendly to me. No say in your schedule and it comes out a week before it starts. Will float during your shift to either peds, FCC, or PICU. Peds staff is awesome and helpful. Although most people I worked with were travelers also.

NICU - Neonatal Intensive Care

Not Traveler friendly

Ultrasound Technologist

Float

If you like being floated every 4 hours and providers treating you like an idiot then you’ll love it here

PICU - Pediatric Intensive Care

KP plays games and loves canceling contracts early. I liked the staff and the unit but would never work for another KP hospital system again.
