Manager

Good: The nurses are kind, they have relief nurses, and Patient ratios are usually good. 

Bad: Travelers get floated often, even after 4 or 8 hours of work. No manager to report to on a particular floor and no clear communication with travelers. They may give you the harder or busier assignments and not offer help. Some charge nurses don’t help ( especially this Filipino lady that never helped but only micro managed everything even when she sees your busy ) 

Not the worst of my assignments but All I can think of right now. Hope this helps!!

Not the worst but some flaws

Hospice Palliative Care RN

PCT, nurse, managers, patients, upper leadership. All bad. Wait until the currently leadership cycles through before you set foot here

Avoid Kaiser Walnut Creek like the plague
