be aware of delray medical center in delray beach florida!!! i am finishing up a contract there and i am just glad to get out of there with my license!!! icu is average of 3:1, and 2:1 with a balloon pump! imcu is 5:1 with numerous titrated drips (nipride, cardene, lido, and just about everyone is on ntg, and more), art lines, and alot of ptca sheath removals! average for their telemetry unit is 8:1 with ntg titrated up to 50mcg! they are not over friendly with travelers. what little full time staff they have are so burned out on travelers all year that they just get sick of teaching all the time! i don't blame them! none of the current travlers are resigning, and some have walked out! beware! pay isn't worth it either!

Specializes in Admin, ER, ICU, Med-Surg.
I wouldn't let my dog be a patient there. . and I don't really like my dog that much.
