Pros

None

Cons

They floated travel nurses in the middle of the shift some times 4 hours into your shift to another floor because they have some of their staff nurses who work only 8 hours; so to accommodate the 8 hr shift staff nurses the travel nurses get thrown around to floors with isolations.
