Pros: Overall positive. Low acuity, plenty of resources, everyone is over the top nice. Housing isn't bad and Omaha is a great city. Med-surg and PCU ratios aren't bad.
Cons: Wouldn't repeat for ICU. You rarely see the ICU and float mid shift regularly. No OT, they put you on call without being on call. Travelers with way more experience get treated like idiots behind thei…
Pros: Super nice, traveler friendly staff. PCU is really med tele: chest pain, NSTEMI, stroke, DKA with heparin and cardizem. iCare model where pharmacy passes meds and techs do vitals, so when staffed you …
Cons: 4-5 patients. Night shift often has no tech or one for the whole floor. Med-surg floats up to 6 with no iCare. ED sends patients at shift change. One shadow shift. Check your Maxim paychecks.
