Pros

Charting is minimal. Admission charting simple. Residents/ admitting provider does med reconciliation. Charge RNs are supportive and helpful. House sups are helpful. Very travler friendly. Providers put in their own orders minimal verbal orders. Housing easy to find. Cute town. Weather milder during summer.

Cons

No transport. MRI always down. PCU takes MedTele overflow. MedTele cherry picks MedTele transfers so PCU gets the higher acuity pts and ratio is 1:6. Constant downgrades and transfers to accommodate census so you can walk in with 6 MedTele pts, give them all up midshift (after you’ve done meds and care) then get 4 new PCU admits. Thats 10 pts you will be charting on. Hospital recently started using Tiger Connect BUT most residents aren’t logged in. No pharmacy at night. Not a lot of seasoned staff. A lot of new grads. Travlers orient/precept. No set schedules. Dayshift can float in the middle of the shift.

Pros

I’ve had a great experience working with my recruiter at American Traveler. She is incredibly prompt and clear with her communication, and she’s always taken the time to walk me through any questions or concerns I had. She explains everything with confidence and professionalism, which has made the entire process much less stressful. Her responsiveness and ability to provide clear answers have given me confidence that she’ll continue to advocate for me and deliver throughout my assignment. I truly appreciate her support and would recommend working with her. In addition, the credentialing specialist has been helpful and communicative in setting up any medical screening with minimal stress.

Cons

While the customer service is great, the agency itself doesn’t support onboarding orientation or medical screening financially. So I would advise to set aside some money to cover those bills until your contract starts.
