Pros
Breaks became more strict towards the end of my contract. I didn’t care for management but the RNs i worked with on nights were great. You will only work L&D, never floated anywhere. Felt like with it being a teaching hospital providers were nice and patient with you most times.
Cons
Don’t have much of a say with scheduling. Their protocols for a few things are weird and different than a lot of hospitals. Can be pretty busy, may be coupled sometimes but not excessively.

Pros
Sebrona has been an incredible recruiter to work with during my job search for travel vascular sonography positions. From our very first conversation, she took the time to actually understand what I was looking for, not just throwing generic openings at me, but paying attention to my specialty, my preferences, and my timeline. She's responsive, communicative, and genuinely invested in finding the right fit rather than just filling a slot. Any time I had a question, she got back to me quickly with clear, honest answers. No runaround, no overselling a position just to close it out. Working with Sebrona has made the often stressful process of job hunting feel a lot more manageable. I'd recommend her to any traveler looking for a recruiter who actually listens and follows through.
