Certified Surgical Technologist

I was skeptical of Albuquerque but I ended up loving it. Lots of housing available. A LOT of travelers at UNM but I always felt welcome and appreciated. Decent equipment in radiology although the building is a bit dated. The new hospital should be opening soon!

In my top three assignments in 7+ years of traveling!

CVICU

Surgical Technician

GI Lab

95% travelers, travelers training travelers and helping travelers. Honestly best part about this assignment. Ratio was also good. Never went above 4 patients unless you were assigned to hallway beds where sometimes you would get a fifth but rarely. Management/supervisors were seen on the floor maybe once a shift— did not engage with staff and were not very approachable when issues did occur. With that being said, would consider returning to facility again in future.

ED review

Hardly No OT for travelers. I had 1 or 2 OT days in 3 months

Needs cleaning of units and nursing stations. Was cleaned once while I was there. Only garbage was taken out on a regular basis.Short staffed way too much, while travel staff is not called in..

Respiratory Therapist

Radiology Technologist

Intermediate Care

Hospice

Do not go here. The facility is dirty, the staff are bullies and will treat you nice to your face and talk
Smack behind your back.

The radiologist are over the top and ridiculous with their request/demands. Redo this image, redo that image, call back the patient, etc etc. They don’t trust the radiology team. Very very frustrating. They waste patient’s time and techs time.

CVPICU

Administration is non responsive.
Contraband is everywhere.
You’d be fortunate to receive a 15 minute break in a 12-16 hour shift.

Caution

Patient Care Tech

floated every shift, no staff assistance when needed

Not safe, poor management, horrible ratios, disgusting facility.

Ratios are high, patients are very sick, and help is scarse. The compensation does not match the work they are asking of you.

Unsafe working conditions

Ratio is 1:5 and they make ED travelers float to inpatient units.
