Wheeling Hospital
Pros
Pros to me are the weather because it was so cold I loved it, but this facility is one of WVUs more neglected hospitals, not like any other WVU hospital!! I would come back though for the right price.
Cons
My contract was for 6 patients and they tried to get us to take 7 patients frequently, we hardly have any PCTs on schedule so we are getting paid to be a nurse while also having to carry the extra load of being the PCT, we work w/o URs most of the time and when I tried to renegotiate my extension they said my rate would stay the same. After all I have done by picking up OT shifts, charging, and helping as a PCT while taking my own patient load is me doing too much for not enough. Meanwhile I spoke with my colleagues and one of them is getting paid way more than me and another nurse and even he was shocked that he is getting paid more for only working the minimum. Kudos to him since his recruiter got him that nice rate!! I also picked up an OT shift on 12/10 and still haven’t gotten paid and the facility even told my recruiter to not contact him until 1/16 again. It’s crazy to me that they don’t want to be bothered but if I worked that to help YOU out then you should at least have the decency to pay on time!!

Pros
Kyle was the first recruiter to really dive into the details of travel work with me. He was thorough and answered all of my questions plus offered a lot of great advice. I started my first travel contract with him and couldn’t be happier with where I ended up and all the help and communication I’ve received before and during my contract. Thank you!
