  Nurse manager ignores staff for weeks on end unless you’re one of her favorites. Lots of hostility from certain RN charge nurses towards LPNs. Unsafe patient ratios, especially on night shift (10+ patients, with not all of them appropriate for the floor, as per the norm.) Cafeteria food overpriced… ($3 PBJ, $2.89 soda, $2 bananas) Started out friendly and just got progressively worse and worse. Best place to work if you want to burn yourself out fast.

  I took a contact here for 2100 per week in cardiac stepdown ratios max 5/1 on days. Floated to medsurg several times for ratios of 8-10/1. Charge taking a full case load. The hospital policies are not in place for the best patient care. I got floated to lines and labs in the ED and they had me and another traveler placing IVs for patients that had to go back into the waiting room for 3-4 hrs. Drawing labs in the middle of a busy waiting room in the ER. This is also the first hospital I have ever seen that charges for every wash cloth or wipe per patient. The staff were friendly and management was availabe for questions but between the policies of the hospital and crazy patient ratios when floated I chose not to extend or go back.

  Horrible. 8-10 patients, TOTAL patient care. You have ZERO idea when you’re getting a new patient. Physicians don’t listen. Minimal help. Quit after 2 weeks.

  Busy ER, lots of holds, unsafe ratios most days due to staffing issues, overall felt unsafe. Numerous assaults to staff from patients and security not able to be involved due to policies and previous issues. Overall not a safe place.

  RN • Emergency Room

  Delta Variant hot spot at the time of contract. Max people in the waiting room was 108 with a 22 hour wait time. ICU pts admitted in the waiting room and codes happening frequently in the waiting room. Night shift was 95% travelers with more staff planning on leaving. 90% of the ER rooms were admitted. Good luck getting ahold of admitting Dr. Half the time ER docs had to field questions because you couldn’t get ahold of anyone or you didn’t know who or how to contact admitting doc and the docs were so burnt out people died from them being overwhelmed and not caring. Staff are trained in unsafe practices and are also so burnt out they don’t care. Prone to talking shit about you behind your back. One traveler has been traveling for 10 years and said it was the worst assignment she’d ever been to. ER is about 80 beds and didn’t have near enough staff for the rooms they had so you would occasionally get 5-6 pts. Didn’t have proper equipment for intimated pts so they became 1:1 pts because all you would have were pushes of meds to keep your pts sedated. ER docs could be rude to travelers and blame the fact that you were a traveler on their mistakes.

  Long wait times in ER with multiple holds. Short staffed so patient ratios were very unsafe. Psych patients out of control and “Patient Safety” didn’t help at all due to hospital protocols. 75% of staff were travelers and you can forget about ever getting a break or lunch. Very unsafe

  I first started this contract in November 2021, I started for an amazing rate for 48 hours on medical oncology. 1 Charge nurse on night shift was an absolute jerk to all, not helpful rude, made the work environment very uncomfortable. Floated often to Cardiac floor, fell in love with the nurses down there so when I was being floated I just called staffing and asked to float there since 80% of the hospital or more was made up of travelers. After 4 or 5 weeks of my 13 contract the hospital got rid of safe patient rations meaning some floors who were less staffed such as Med surg were required to take upwards of 10-12 patients on night shift. My average was 7-8 only no aid or 1 so most of the time patients were total care. TOTAL CARE WITH 8 + patients. On top of safe patient ratios they did not group based on acuity just room numbers so you could easily get stuck with 4+ confused bed jumpers. Charge nurses took whole patient assignments often night time managers were staffing as well. After 20 weeks we got the notice they were lowering our rates or firing us all they dropped there rates from $3800-$4500 down to $1800 and expected all the travelers to stay. Luckily my contract was over before most of the travelers left but friends said staffing got much worse. On average 1 - 2 staff nurses per floor per shift, sometimes the floor was nothing but travelers with NO CHARGE NURSE. Nurses weren't trained on how to call rapids, doctors were rude as hell often belittled the travelers refused to answer calls and did not prescribe medications.

  Unsafe patient ratios and patient assignment not based on acuity. Most of the time there was no charge nurse on nights and when there was, they have full patient load. Often 1 aide for 28-30 patients on a floor while you have 7-8 patients yourself. You float all the time. A lot of patients not appropriate for the floor and don’t get moved until you call a rapid or code. Mostly travelers on nights lot of times it’s blind leading the blind. ER does not call report so they just drop patients off in the room and everyone scrambles to see who is next for an admit because no charge nurse and short staffed so no keeping track. Quite a few different drips are managed on the floor while so short staffed.

  This facility is awful. It no wonder they take up 99% of the requests for travelers on every travel agency for that area. Patient ratios are awful. Violence from a patient gets ignored or the nurse is punished. You will never see a lunch break. The managers on the floor are new and inexperienced OR they have worked there for decades and are 100% the reason they have such terrible staffing issues. The cafeteria is open at night but you’ll spend your stipend on meals alone. Horribly overpriced garbage. The hospital has a policy to get people in beds asap so it doesn’t matter if you’re 8:1 you’ll now be 9:1. Every floor I worked- I hardly ever met any core staff- that hospital is run by travelers and maybe 3 PCAs. They don’t pay their core staff a decent wage. Probably why most have quit to go travel. Most of the doctors are rude and unprofessional. More than once had one throw a temper tantrum for having to come see a patient in distress. I wouldn’t go back there if they doubled by pay.

  Read the reviews and believe them. Place is a dumpster fire run but delusional management in denial that their facilities (yes almost all of them) is a sh*t show.

  I got a job here from june 2024 to end of august 2024. I was a pretty good start with the onboarding but reality hits once I started working and I realized the ratio’s wasn’t safe. I worked at 4A which is cardiac telemetry and there are nights I get to have 7 patients. Yes 7 patients. Which is not very safe for a tele floor. I just finished my contract and decided to never go back. It was terrible. The travelers with me have been very helpful tho. But overall. I do not recommend.
