Pros: Hands down one of the best. 4 Lewis med-surg always staffed right at 1:4-5. PCTs about 1:8-9, plus SSTs to help with tasks. Resource nurses, IV team, phlebotomy, transport for everything, housekeeping…
Cons: PCTs are a bit spoiled and will have you do primary to stay light. They cut travelers, only some in-house contracts now.
