Pros: Travel-friendly, easy assignment. Ratios are solid: 2:1 ICU, 3:1 stepdown, 3-4:1 med-surg. My contract was honored and I worked mostly ICU. If you get floated to the floor and your patient doesn't hav…
Cons: Not much. Floating happens but it's manageable since every unit is welcoming. Housing in Charlottesville can be pricey. Check Furnished Finder for deals. If you're willing to commute 10-20 minutes yo…

Cons: Parking is the main complaint.
Pros: Really good support. Lots of travelers. Full week of hospital and unit orientation. Nights and weekends park in the attached garage. Any color scrubs.
Cons: Busy unit, more blood, chemo and lytes than I've ever hung. Weekdays you park at the stadium and bus in.
