Pros
Everyone is very nice to travelers. The unit supervisor is very nice and works with you. There are plenty of resources, including on unit phlebotomy, ed techs that actually do their jobs, RT, etc. You always get your breaks, which is really nice, 2 30s and a 15. Each pod has a resource nurse too, which is nice.
Cons
As a traveler, you will be the first to float into their psych area, but you will almost always have a tech or another nurse that knows the flow of the unit with you. Some of the charge nurse don't really keep track of how heavy your assignment may be. If you have an open bed, they'll fill it. I know that's pretty common in a lot of busy places though. You also are in charge of arriving the patient in the computer at time of triage and you have to strip and clean your room between patients.

Pros
Nicole was very helping and always proficient with reaching out and even going above and beyond when the facility itself was slacking. When the facility canceled all contracts the day before start date she found me another position within the same week. I would recommend her 10x over.
Cons
Can’t think of one
