No extra help like transport. Equipment is broken at times. They maintain 1:3-4 ratios but can give u an unstable/heavy patient and expect you to still keep those ratios. Overall I’d pick up another assignment if the money is good.
County hospital. Large homeless population a lot of opioid withdrawal. They are out of ratio usually in the trauma area but they don’t put travelers over there so I was usually in the 1:3 pod or the over flow 1:4 pod. They don’t have patient transport or housekeeping so you move your own patients and clean your own rooms. They have housekeepers for trash and spills but not regular room turn over. They have team leads and breaks. There is also an urgent care like 50 feet across from the ER so during the day they divert a lot of people there. Don’t expect them to give you the schedule you want. They ask for your request but then don’t follow it at all.
