Labor and Delivery

I was in one of the MICUs and it was an amazing contract. They don’t skimp on staffing and there was always a free charge and 95% of the time a resource nurse for the unit. a very welcoming hospital and super supportive about diversity. Felt like a very safe environment for both staff and patients. The staff nurses there are freaking awesome and over all Strong has a lot of resources which makes caring for patients much smoother. I would go back in a heart beat.

One of best contracts

The Interventional Radiology Department here is an awesome place to work! Very nice people, and a lot of variety in cases. I highly reccomend the Body Vascular IR department; Body IR and Neuro IR are seperate departments.

Imaging staff are great and easy to get along with. They have clinical technicians that are very helpful turning rooms over, assisting in moving patients, getting monitoring placed. Great overall place to work.

Great place to Work

MRI Technologist

The travelers and a majority of the core staff were amazing. The experience of the fellow travelers made the entire contract worth staying. The long commute from the parking is a bit extreme and the patient population is physically demanding & the care is more ER holds than ER as a Traveler. Also no techs but would come back for sure!

I worked here as an RNFA traveler. The pay was above average. Its a large teaching hospital and everyone is nice and helpful. They are used to having multiple travelers at once and treat them well. Good facility.

Radiology

I worked for over two years at Strong, with the first nine months being as a nurse extern (a position where new grads can work essentially as a patient care tech while also shadowing a nurse) on a MICU during the height of the pandemic, then a year and six months in the CVICU, and three months in the Emergency Department. I worked through COVID, which itself may skew my experience as opposed to those who work during “normal times.” In my time in the MICU and CVICU, I never worried about lacking resources in terms of equipment or staffing. The staffing ratios were also good. I never once was tripled in an ICU assessment, although in the CVICU part of the expectation was to take multiple patients with devices (CRRT in particular), which could make for a challenging shift. The sheer level of acuity I saw was an incredible learning experience, and something that many nurses never get. Also, the opportunity for education in terms of orientation, additional classes offered by the hospital, and from conversations with other nurses or doctors during rounds was great. As for the cons, the biggest challenge was the scheduling. The shifts in all of the ICUs and ED (with very few exceptions) are 50% day shifts and 50% night shifts. This swing-shift dependent schedule makes it very difficult to have much work-life balance, and also leads to general unhappiness among the nurses. Coupled with this, at least in the MICU and CVICU, is difficulties with the nursing culture. Most of the nurses on the units were in their 20s and 30s. Furthermore, these units were, for many of them, their first jobs as nurses. So I cannot discount general immaturity on behalf of the nurses. However, the nursing culture was rather cliquey on these units, and often lead to micro aggressions towards other nurses. I think another factor here has to do with how much say the surgeons have in the CVICU over the nursing interventions. At times, the expectations of these surgeons are unrealistic and their attitude towards implementing these interventions is militaristic. Perhaps this can just be boiled down to “surgeons being surgeons,” but it does make for a difficult work environment after a while. With that said, I cannot overstate how thankful I am for the education I received on all of the units and the experiences I had. They made me a very well-rounded nurse. For myself, the schedule was the most challenging part. I would go back to work at Strong, I would only do so if I was offered an all-nights or all-days contract.

Fantastic work experience with lacking nursing culture
