Good: Hospital quality is wonderful.. BAD: the staff treated travelers poorly!!! They offered a bonus if you stayed for 13 weeks.. and i see why!!!  I had a patient who needed a pacer @ 2300. Offered to stay and go with md and pt to IR where md placed pacer. Supervisor approved this. when i signed out, the oncoming supervisor told me to come in 3 hours later to offset the OT.. next day, i get a call from ED saying why am i not there.. this is just one of many situations!!!
