Unit is traveler friendly, safe patient rations maintained, teamwork is expected and encouraged, supportive management

None

Traveler friendly, friendly staff in general, low patient:nurse ratios (1:5 - 6). Shift manager helps with admissions, which is super nice.

Critical access hospital, so very small (24 beds); large number of homeless and psych population end up getting thrown here and taking up beds. Security does not help at all. They just show up and watch. RNs are called off regularly. You better have a limit written in your contract. My unpaid limit was 3 per 13 weeks, and I used them all, every contract. I renewed my contract once. Wouldn't recommend working on the "step-down" side, as you may have vent patients for up to 24 hours. There are a lot of night admissions and day shift discharges.
