Pros: Really good experience in their float pool. Staff friendly, helpful and appreciative of travelers during the winter surge. Got my whole schedule up front with plenty of input. Would definitely return.…
Cons: Med-surg/tele nights usually 1:5, occasionally 1:6. Different unit most nights. They mainly bring in outside travelers during winter surge.
