Facility
St. Luke's Meridian Medical Center
3 nurses recommend working with St. Luke's Meridian Medical Center
Pros
The staff is amazing, very friendly and helpful. The facilities are pretty decent/updated. Thhe Nampa campus is fairly new. It's a beautiful and clean city/area with plenty to do to enjoy your off days.
Cons
I didn't know before starting my contract that they float travelers 1st, they will float you between facilities and it can happen at any point during your shift. They said it was self-scheduling in my interview but it's more hybrid. You can request days you want but they ultimately schedule travelers for whatever. They give perm staff 1st pick and travelers schedule last with the prn people instead of merging travelers into the scheduling groups with full time staff.
