Pros
Staff is overall welcoming and helpful. Safe ratios.
Cons
NO block scheduling. As an ICU travel RN you will ALWAYS be the first to float to PCU/ED/ including Psych units. Some shifts you will float every 4 hours. ICU has very helpful CNAs. Another important point you should consider is the high cost of living in Coeur D’Alene.

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.
