Hey fellow peds nurses! I've been a peds nurse for almost 3 years now and am strongly considering travel nursing. After working at a couple different hospitals and currently working as a critical care float nurse at a childrens hospital, I've noticed there are many differences between hospitals and even specific floors/units. I want to learn more about the "norms" at different hospitals, to try to prepare myself for travelling. Here are some questions I have, any help/answers would be greatly appreciated: 1) Do you work in a children's (only) hospital or on a peds floor at a general/adult hospital system? Which area of the country (state or region)? 2) What type of floor/unit do you work on? What are your typical patient types and patient ratios? 3) What kind of ancillary staff do you have? (RT, pharmacy, IV team, phlebotomy, CNAs, etc) 4) Does your charge nurse take a patient assignment? Thanks for any input!
