Great team work, understaffed, some Dr’s are rude.

Labor and Delivery

ICU - Intensive Care Unit

It's an HCA facility so your ratios will always be higher than ideal. 5:1 on PCU and 6:1 on tele up to 7:1 at times on med surg. Typically 2 PCA techs for 30 patients. Charge nurse always has patients and is expected to do patient care, DC rounds, patient satisfaction rounds.. but otherwise staff is very friendly.

Telemetry PCU - Progressive Care Unit

Travelers while experienced do not know everything and will have to ask questions as it relates to hospital protocols. However staff (PCT & RNs) need extra support, a whole lot of extra support so it can be difficult seeking help from someone that looks physically and mentally drained.

Infusion

Sterile Processing Technician

Acute Care

First of all, the ratio is NOT 1:4. It’s 1:6 on a good day. They’re so short staffed that it’s not uncommon for you to have 7 or 8 patients. It’s also normal for the charge nurses on both shifts to come in and get a full load of patients of 6-8, rendering them really unavailable to be a proper charge nurse. Also, be prepared to never work on the floor you get hired to work on. I only worked on my floor once the entire time I was there. The whole experience was very unsavory.
