Reviews
Great staff, great travel assignment
Pros
Friendly, helpful staff/coworkers. It's definitely not a trauma hospital.
Cons
You will float from one location to the other during the same shift OFTEN. They are obsessed with 100% accurate charting to their standards, but they do not do anything to reduce medication errors. You have access to all meds for every patient in the omnicell. When a sick patient or trauma rolls in, they might not recognize it or treat it as a trauma hospital does.

Worked Seven Dignity Hospitals -ICU
I had positive experiences at every Dignity facility worked. Staff Nurses are helpful and fun to work with. Managers were available and supportive. MDs are responsive and truly care about patients. I know some locations are not great (heard from other travelers), but I loved my assignments in Sacramento CA, Folsom CA, Carmichael CA, Woodland CA, Redwood City CA, Long Beach CA, and Las Vegas NV.
