4D Night Shift - Great Teamwork!
The night shift team on 4D was great! I enjoyed the team work of RNs, techs, and RT - this night staff made all the difference! Everyone was so welcoming, willing to help me learn, and helpful - this was my first ever travel contract & was a great experience because of them! I had 4-5 pts each night & there were always 2-3 techs, and if I did get floated to PCU their staff was also welcoming & helpful. I was not offered to self schedule or block schedule which is understandable but no flexibility whatsoever & you receive your schedule one month at a time, but I was able to get my requested days off or trade shifts w/ staff. Nights parked in the garage right across from the hospital so I felt safe given the homeless population downtown. Cerner was the charting system, Omnicell medication machines, pharmacy was fast getting you medications. Cons were ER not having to call report, you never knew when you were getting an admit, lots of hoops & policies to get simple things done, couldn’t pick up extra shifts to help out the unit, no free charge nurse. Overall, a good place for a beginner travel nurse. I would def go back if given the opportunity.
