Travel Nurse RN - Med Surg / Telemetry
Biddeford, ME
TRS Healthcare
3x12 hrs, Nights

MDs don’t listen to nurses concerns leading to several pts rapidly declining and coding. Ratios often push 6:1. Assignments are made at random without consideration and one nurse often gets a trash assignment while the rest are manageable or require very little. ED doesn’t call report and pts are sent to the floor without the staff being ready. All transfers from Sanford are claimed to be stable and almost immediately require imc or scu transfer. Several medsurg nurses are given cardiac drips without experience administering before. IMC pts will be deemed floor appropriate too soon if ratios have to be pushed. Consistently called off for low census. But overall staff is friendly.
