Pros
Management was great, not micromanaging. CNA ratio was amazing, and everyone was always helping each other out.
Cons
Lack of transporters, especially at night..there were none, but we had so many CNA’s to help, rotating schedules. Nights and days in the same week.

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.
