Cons: Day shift parks off campus and buses in, nights walk half a mile. Open bay unit. Cerner.

Pros: Cardiac PCU 3:1, sometimes 4:1. Pretty good ratios overall. Everyone is super nice, remaining staff are traveler friendly and appreciative. Cerner with duplicate feature so charting is fast.

Cons: Shuttle from a lot miles away adds 30-45 minutes each way. One traveler floated to many units including the ER and barely saw her home unit, ended early.
