by Lovelymo79 Aug 15, '12Hi all,
I'm looking to pick up some per diem agency work with Parallon as an ICU nurse in Austin, TX. Has anyone worked with them and the HCA hospitals they are associated with? Any good, bad, ugly? Thanks!

Aug 19, '12 by NedRNThe ugly is that HCA hospitals are for profit, and the last hospitals patients would want to find themselves. High patient to nurse rations. I don't know of any good, except that there are some exceptions to the rule. Best of luck finding one! - Aug 19, '12 by Lovelymo79I've worked at for-profit hospitals that weren't bad. And since I work ICU, I doubt I'll have a big problem with ratios. I was looking more into how Parallon worked but now that I'm on, guess I'll find out firsthand. Thanks for the response!
- Aug 19, '12 by NedRNPerhaps I worded that badly. HCA hospitals are bad primarily because they are HCA, not because they are for profit. Sometimes one is reported to be OK to work at, but those reports are very rare. As per diem, you are not stuck the way a traveler is on a 13 week contract so you will find out cheap. You might even like it if you are used to Florida and Texas hospitals.
