Re: Staffing/ agency ideas
I've worked with travelers before. Some were so wonderful we tried to convince them to stay full time with us. Of course we couldn't match the salary...but, as with all things, some of them were horrible. One said "I didn't think all the patients wouild be so OLD"..Didn't they tell you this was a skilled nursing facility I asked? Yes she said but I didn't think people here would be so old...
Where I am now, if we have to use agency, we have a list of 3 nurses from the agency that we like. We've given them orientation to the way we do things. It's not as good as having my own staff but it sure beats the revolving door of a different nurse every day.
