Pros: Wonderful experience. Med surg 1:5-6, and I only had 6 once for part of a night. 24 hour phlebotomy, you only pull from ports and PICCs. Staff were friendly. Another traveler is on her 8th assignment …
Cons: Wanted to extend but they went to internal contracts only. If you don't mind internal with benefits it's a breath of fresh air for a burnt out soul.
