ICU float pool should be listed as hospital wide float pool. They use the ICU float pool to staff the hospital and will not hesitate to put you on a medical surgical floor. They also do not pay any attention to who they place where based on skill set. Some units you are on an island working on your own. I would consider taking a unit based contract but no thanks to any float pool.

Ratio 1:4-1:5, can staff up to 8 nurses and 3 PCAs on day shift and 7 nurses and 3 PCAs on night shift

High acuity unit where you see everything as an adult medical surgical unit! We see patients with simple diagnoses like the flu all the way up to complex surgical problems, infectious diseases from around the globe, to transition to CMO

We specialize in infectious disease with our own teaching service (Donalson) who specializes in infectious disease processes

We have never had a staff member contract an infectious disease due to the expertise of the staff in following protocols and procedures

We do see a psych population given the single patient rooms, have a lot of support teams to assist with behaviors and services

Supportive management team who are available to staff 24/7

There is a lot of support for new nurses, new grads, and new to inpatient care

Teamwork is great on the unit, lots of different skill levels. People are happy to help and help people learn and grow
