Any nurses from JCMC (Johnson City, TN)?

I started July 15. I'm with TNS. (not sure how much recruiter info I'm allowed to give in open form, so pm me and I will give you info!)

I just finished my contract at JC Med Center. It's an interesting place, some units run smoothly with good staffing, and others don't. I never really figured it out. As the unit I was hired to work didn't open until aprox 30 days before contract ended I was floated to different units. I enjoyed the med surg units, averaged 7 patients nocs, but had two techs who drew labs, did blood sugars, EKGs, and also patient care. The unit clerk was there until 11pm. The other units didn't have unit clerks after 7pm, and there are always admissions. I averaged 4 - 6 patients, sometimes with a CNA, sometimes not. The pulmonary unit 5400 was nice to work on also. 3300 and ortho were great to work on. Nurses draw their own labs 7a-7p, and on weekends in all the hospital. Most of the nurses were great to work with, helpful. The few that weren't were actually travel nurses, which was shocking. Charting is still paper. Orders were computer (an old archaic version, but at least computerized). Turn around time for pharmacy could run hours.

I have my agency furnish housing (I like to get there, work, and leave without much fuss). I stayed at Claude Simmons Apartments, which are small and simple but quiet and in the country. I did enjoy the contract, but wouldn't work on the Bariatric/Med Surg 5300 unit again. Nocs was staffed with travelers, and no techs. We had a CNA occasionally, but they were pulled. The shift leader from 5400 would come and help whenever we called, and we needed to frequently! He was great and made the unit function.

Hope I haven't overwhelmed you with data. I would grade it as a tolerable place to work. I have worked worse, and better.
