The whole hospital is tele You should come check us out, it's really great. Our "cardiac" tele unit nurse to pt ratio is a max of 4:1 sometimes without an assistant though. I'm the only Sarah in the critical care unit if u ever want to call, I'm definitely there on wednesdays and thursdays.

I'm very interested in this hospital. I just applied for an ICU position that is posted. Does anyone know anything about their pay scale? Shift differentials? Weekend differentials etc? I'm moving from Michigan to AZ next month and am finding it difficult to pick a hospital to work at! There are so many choices in the Phoenix area. We're looking to move to the Gilbert area. Any help would be appreciated

great staffing --what about support staff?

Do you work every other weekend - or every third weekend? Also, do you "self-schedule?"
