I signed up for a pediatric neuro floor and was able to float to a few other units and see a lot of the hospital. The facilities are stellar and imaginative and pristine. I got to go to nicu ( my regular gig), my contract neuro floor, hem.onc, respiratory, gi, facilities and every floor was welcoming, friendly, helpful and made the shift a breeze. Nicu was run so lovely I had to come home and break up with my regular nicu because I couldn't go back after that. There was a cafe, a cafeteria, a subway, beautiful facilities for breaks, and a lovely family culture. José and Jeannie on 5T were standout amazing, as well as Vanessa in nicu and Michelle on hem onc. I'd go there again in a heartbeat
