Pros: Traveler friendly, set schedule, break nurses, Epic, any scrub color. Ratios are always followed, 1:3-4 PCU and 1:4-5 med surg. Affordable, and it's beautiful, waterfalls, seals and tide pools. Really…
Cons: They can and will downstaff you 48 hours without pay. B Braun pumps. Acuity is high for the size since the closest Level 1 is 2+ hours away. Nothing to do in town but Walmart.
