    Facility was decent, still used double rooms throughout most of the hospital except in ICUs. Ratios were good 1:3 or 1:4 for Covid, 1:5 for regular pts. Suuuper short staffed but that’s a problem statewide. Staff was BEYOND helpful and were super friendly and made you feel welcomed as a traveler. Assignments were also fair as a traveler.

    Hospital on the older side. Core staff nurses are very friendly and helpful towards travelers. They will float you, and have floated MedSurg to ICU to take “MedSurg” like assignments. They’re always short with their CNA staffing, so a lot of times you are primary Nursing but patient ratio assignment is up to 1 to 5 and is doable. Doctors here aren’t very proactive and it is a constant battle to get orders for patients (speaking for the night shift). Nothing to do in the area entertainment wise and would suggest not to stay in Lewiston for housing. Try Auburn or Portland which is about a 45 min drive with tolls. The area of Lewiston is a little sketch but assignment is a decent one. I would come back and recommend.

    I was contracted for their “CVICU” (Y3) which is hardly an ICU. They categorize most pts as IMC, but they are truly tele pts. Ratios are 1:2 for ICU and 1:3 for IMC. Staff doesn’t float, so travelers float almost every shift to med surg with 1:5 ratios. Staff is very helpful for the most part. Not well staffed with CNAs so nurses are responsible for vitals on most units. Decent place to work, but don’t recommend if you’re looking to actually do icu.

    Signed for step down and was placed on med surg. When I gave push back management terminated my contract and said I had a bad attitude.
