Pros: Great experience, extended. RTO accommodated. When short, the director and manager put on scrubs and work, seen it many times. Never more than 6. First contract and never traumatized.
Cons: Med-surg tele 1:5-6. Sometimes no tech. Not much to do in Amarillo. FEMA ER travelers were put in a covid-only ER with no staff.
