Any feedback about TMC in Tucson?

Ok, I just realized that I responded to your post a little while ago in another forum! You live in the UK?

ER, OR, and L&D are the only floors that are good. (IMO).

Thanks for reply. Yes I live currently here in England. I don't have any idea about TMC yet, but I will try to work there. As soon as I get visa, I would start to work in Tucson by January. I also worked in Southeast Asia and Middle East. So far, I found Dubai hospitals to be the best, bigger and cleaner hospitals in the whole middle east that I worked. My specialty is in General Theatre (UK) or Operating Room (US). What L&D means?

I've heard good things about Scottsdale and St. Joe's, as well as Mesa General. I did clinicals at Chandler OR and they were great; they kept asking me when I was going to come and work there. The med/surg at Chandler was not so great. I worked as an extern at Banner Baywood when I was in nursing school and would not recommend it - VERY high turnover, most of the nurses had been there less than 6 months and several left while I was there. Casa Grande has a bad local reputation - I've never worked there but have heard enough horror stories that I never would. I work at the IHS hospital in Sacaton and love it; the nurses and doctors are great (for the most part). I started there straight out of nursing school and everyone was really helpful to me as a new grad.

I've heard good things about Scottsdale and St. Joe's, as well as Mesa General.....Casa Grande has a bad local reputation - I've never worked there but have heard enough horror stories that I never would.

I was a pt at Mesa General while I was on a travel contract. I was in a lot of pain and had unusual s/s. The ER doc accused me of being a "drug addict" and of drug seeking. The ER nurse was downright hateful. I was charged $500. for a drug screen (neg, of course) that was done without my consent.

I was later correctly diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, at another hospital.

When I called the hospital to complain, Mesa General blamed it on the ER nurse being a traveler! They were very embarrassed when I told them that I am a traveler as well, and I have never treated a pt the way I was treated.

I was 800 miles from home, all alone, and very sick. I really would have appreciated being treated like a human being at Mesa General, but I was not.

I am due for deployment to Phoenix, Arizona (Maryvale Hospital) January 30 next year. I am a Filipino nurse. Could anyone tell me anything about this hospital? Thanks.

Haven't heard great things about Maryvale ...... actually all the things I hear are pretty scary. But I guess it depends on which unit. Do a search though, I think people have mentioned Maryvale here on the boards.
