  The unit itself like administration and education are traveler friendly but the staff is not mostly due to a couple a bad apples not all the staff are like this. To put in perspective. They are the highest staff paying hospital in the country. They only hire staff through travelers so all of their staff used to be travelers and commute from the lower east coast to work their 6 days and fly home. There is a lot of chart checking like other nurses will go in and check your charting randomly and aren’t very nice about it. Some of the staff will be very childish like if they had a less than ideal encounter with a travel nurse after telling her something she was doing wrong etc the next time that traveler said anything the staff nurse would turn to the other staff nurse and say “did you hear something?” There are kinder ways to help out travelers that are new to the unit to chart the way it is expected. They have a mentality that if you want to be staff you will only be staff if the staff “lets you” “you will only work here if WE want you to work here” management sends out emails to staff to rate and review travelers. The staff is very entitled will openly ask administrators in the middle of pre shift huddle why the travelers get vacation days off when the staff has been there longer which is very awkward when 60% of your daily staffing is travelers and we are all standing right there. And they have had travelers have big med errors so some of the nurses are very skeptical of travelers. They let you do triage because they have a charge in triage. Some areas are heavier than others. They have a secluded psych area and you get breaks which is nice. Usually 3 nurses to 8 beds each nurse gets 4 patients and the 3rd floats and breaks.

  Absolutely loved this hospital. It has been the friendliest unit I have ever worked on. No wonder the traveler turn over to staff ratio is so high! Highly recommend.

  Best hospital ever. I worked icu k4 during covid. Trauma surgery also. Best staff and management. Floated occasionally only to other icus. Brand new hospital and beautiful.

  I literally can’t say enough great things about Stanford. I had some friends do assignments here at the beginning of covid 2020, and they loved it. They recently built a brand new hospital and all but 1 of their 6 ICUs is in it. State of the art, beautiful facility. I work on M4, the new covid/pre liver/medical ICU. The staff here is super nice and helpful, they even had a mindfulness exercise on my first morning in morning huddle. The unit at the moment is about 60-70% travelers which is so great, everyone is super chill and fun. Take an assignment here, you won’t regret it. For a 20 bed unit, we typically have 3 resource nurses and charge with no patients. SO CUSH! LRS and Maxim have the direct contract with them, so start with those recruiters first.

  I can’t speak highly enough of this hospital. Stanford really takes care of their staff…as a nightshift traveler on L4 (neuro icu) I felt like I had a great paycheck but I was so pleased to find out that staff nurses are paid even more! I was shocked that each hallway has a resource nurse who is always available as an extra set of hands and who is in charge of providing the nurses with breaks (night shift gets one 30 minute break before midnight AND one hour long break after midnight). There’s always coffee in the break room and snacks for the night. Your only job is PATIENT CARE…someone else is staffed to take out your trash and linens and restock your supply carts in the room. Transportation is always available to take your patients to scans with you or get them to another unit. Nurses are happy here which is such a foreign feeling. When I sign in as staff again it’ll be at Stanford. I cannot recommend enough!

  Great facility if you work in 500P building (newer). The 300P building is really outdated and some of the medsurg onc floors are pretty much overflows. The worst part of Stanford is floating to 300P, but it's do-able. Housing is expensive in Bay Area around $2000-3000 average if you don't want roommates. Charge RN and Float RN to make sure you receive breaks. Some floors operate differently but all of it adds up to 1 hour and 15 min COVERED break. Traveler first to float. Many staff are amazing. Really haven't had any issues. Omnicell. Epic. 1 week of orientation modules. 1 week of orientation on floor (1 day of shadowing, 2 shifts with staff RN). Doctors use EPIC text messaging to page for any issues. Quick to respond and are polite, many are interns.

  I completed my first travel contract at this facility and was so impressed! Their onboarding orientation process was so organized and efficient. My preceptors and vast majority of the staff are so kind. I would absolutely come back to this facility at some point. 10/10.
