Shock Trauma

For all you new grads considering going to work for Shock Trauma in Baltimore be very careful and think twice about signing the signing bonus contract. There is a reason they are paying a signing bonus. I have worked there for the better part of a year in one of the ICU/IMC units and the nurses are over worked, underpaid and not appreciated. As an example, the patients primary care team was paged for a change in the patient condition and orders were written to reflect that change. When the patient had a more significant change unrelated to the initial change, the team was again paged and wrote orders, these orders were not appropriate and the fellow was paged who did not change the orders. In the morning when the attending found out about the whole incident he was very mad at the medical team and looked at the nursing documentation and it was adaquate to build the case for nursing and against medicine. The nurse manger of the unit has since gone after the initial nurse stating that she "missed the boat" on the initial change and labeled her care as "poor" and now rides that nurse, and everything that she does, probably in an attempt to get rid of ther because she told the manager she was wrong to second quess her for something she had no control over. POOR !!!!! So I am not saying to not work there, but as a new grad you will get hung out to dry for the doctors learning curves.... Just be careful !!!!
