Pros
I worked 4South/ the people are amazing and flexible, helpful, and supportive to work with. The charges are incredibly helpful.
Cons
Poor communication between residents/ attendings l which affects what is told to nursing and communicated to nursing. This was a huge issue working here. Also the resources are low, things always out of stock on the floor, only one translator / bladder scanner per floor , things like that.

Pros
Savannah was truly perfect. Knowledgeable, responsive, caring, informative, and honest. I didn’t feel like I was apart of a sales scheme. She truly put me at ease during the process. I felt like she had my back and would work to find me what I was looking for. I look forward to working with American Traveler in the future.
