The environment/patient ratio is far more stable at Queen's. They have recently decreased their employment of agency and travel nurses, though. They are attempting to achieve Magnet status, which has influenced their hiring practices.

Being a new grad, it is tough getting in the first time around. They are loyal to inhouse staff transferring from say a nurses aide to an RN, which is understandable. My goal is to work for Queens but it is not that easy as a new grad. I am contemplating trying dialysis. If I do not like it, I am not held to a contract. Plus, the new manager is awesome. Additionally, it will add some RN experience to my resume.
