Biggest complaint would be the Thursday through Wednesday work week. Seems like a way to give 4 12 hour shifts in one week without paying OT. Had several weeks with 4 12s in a row. However I also had a few weeks with only 2 12 hour shifts, so I didn’t complain too much. Overall I enjoyed the contract and would go back.

My last assignment at Good Sam was in 2021. Most travelers were placed on the MS/tele float pool and you were guaranteed to be floated twice per shift. Staffing ratios were up to 1:9 on nights during this time. Travelers were also 1st to float to their dedicated COVID Unit, which was an awful unit, isolated from a majority of the unit. It was usually 2 RNs and an aide for 10 patients. However, if none of those patients required a PCU or ICU RN, you were alone with just the CNA. Dangerous, dangerous staffing levels and admin/mgmt did not seem to care. The fellow RNs, CNAs, dietary, housekeeping....were all wonderful but they were being sorely abused by their hospital admin, IMHO. I hope it's improved since then because the staff deserve so much better.

Coworkers are wonderful, staffing ratios are dismal

Med Surg

It's a small rural hospital. They have 6 OR's. The surgeons are all nice and they do relatively easy cases. Lots of ENT, gyn, and robots, and TONS of eyed! When I was there  the department was mostly all travelers. I did find that the staff was not always the most friendly to travelers. The charge nurse was one of the worst There's a lot of animosity on their part, towards the travelers.
But for the right money, I'd go back.. 
I like the area. There's lots of great parks and outdoor activities. I was there in the summer, I don't recommend going in the winter unless you love snow and cold..

Nice hospital.
