MetroWest Medical Center - Framingham Union Hospital

Night shift RNs do help each other with pts. Friendly. Director seems nice but does not have your back! Can't be trusted.

Patient ratios are high not what is reported. Nights has no techs, no transport, no phlebotomy.ER RN transports all pts to the floors, CT etc. Often will not have a repeating schedule each week. You truly fill the shifts they need and it changes frequently. Difficult to make plans. Equipment is always breaking and it takes forever to get it fixed. Worked with only 1 EKG machine and then got texts and emails why they were late on pts. Well we had to wait our turn.

Pay only thing that make sense

Rigid manager who seeks a power complex. Forgets that travelers are not staff. Requires to train her new grads. Schedule is place once a week for the next week. No ability to plan your life. And condescending staff. If you speak up on ratios or refuse to train staff you are targeted.
