Pros: ICU here is high acuity but good resources and manageable staffing, great experience. Worked there for years. Another nurse in the SICU loves working at Shands.
Cons: High acuity, you will work. Don't confuse it with the Jacksonville campus, others say avoid that one.
Pros: Loved that contract. Staff is amazing and everyone pitches in, real team environment. Level 1 so everything and everyone is available. Any professional scrub color.
Cons: Busy ER. Travelers don't take traumas or advanced cardiac, those go to staff once stabilized.
