Pros: Staff super friendly and helpful, checked on me when I was sick. Patients gracious. 1:3. Accommodated 6-shift blocks. Extended to 6 months. Floats mostly as a helper.
Cons: Nights just 2 nurses covering OB and peds including triage calls, no techs. One RT for the hospital. Limited housing and things to do.
