Ambulatory Care

Wonderful and experienced travel nurses, loved that. Their ancillary staff: secy, techs - rude, overly opinionated and unprofessional in front of patients. Residents - DANGEROUS, it’s ok to be learning, but they lie and place the patients and nurses in danger. Also, they don’t administer pit after any deliveries, every week there was a least 3 hemorrhages, babies going to NICU and they begin pushing at zero station. I asked what evidence based practice are they following to not administer Pit my grand multip of G10 P9 and no one was able to answer. I advocated for almost an hour to get my patient Pit and finically they agreed to a one time dose IM. All I can say, is beware.

Beware…

Care Manager

Peds travel contract (strike). Lack of policies and procedures at the system and facility level. Does not utilize evidence based practice or even best practice. Management extremely disorganized (granted it was an active strike). MDs unaware of their scope of practice so management wants nursing to verify MDs credentials.

Traveled for strike

Horrible management, low ball with pay during the strike

Med Surg

Ratios will regularly be 1:8 or more. No use of waiting room, so patients will be immediately directed to a bed and made to wait hours for a provider. RNs have no ability to use any sort of triage protocol. Labs and imaging results take forever to return, so turn around is long. Ancillary staff pulled frequently to sit with psych patients.

Good luck

Cardiac Cath Lab

Echo Technologist

Assignment changed 2 days before i flew out and thrown into a unit where manager wasn't expecting me and was complaining about being over budget from first day I arrived. Contract terminated for 'unprofessional behavior' except it was complete bogus, she was just trying to get rid of me to compensate for her budget. This was the facility didn't have to payout my contract. Stay away.

Stay away.

Stay away

Pharmacy Technician

I was hired last year prior to the strike. Most of the travelers were called off every other week “to save money” by the hospital, then most of us were let go, giving us a 10 day notice. Financial it was a huge mistake to take a 48 hour week assignment & be  called off every other week and canceled before the end of my contract. It was 3,000 miles from home. So expenses driving home and hotels during winter storm months cost me 
$$$$.

NICU - Neonatal Intensive Care

Respiratory is extremely short, they are expected to cover ICU and floor assignments,  which yields poor ratios, which isnt safe. More than half the lineup are travel RTs (even before the nurse strike) so knowledge about in-house protocols and equipment are not consistent. RT is not reachable by phone due to a new system that requires vocera which has terrible connection

Registered Respiratory Therapist

Area isn’t too bad, and mostly other traveler RN’s. Most of my time wasn’t too bad, until we had to train new grads, do procedures outside of my speciality, and lots of toxicity amongst administrators/charges. They tried to give us 1:5 for stepdown and 1:6-7 for med/surg tele with fewer CNA’s. Respiratory is non-existent. Had to give breathing treatments, do ABG’s, put a patient on chest physiotherapy, and other things RT usually does.

Strike Contract

Stepdown
