  6. Patients hitting on nurses

    You act as though she was at the grocery store! :) It's completely uncomfortable and awkward when this happens at work, considering they are half dressed men who should have enough sense and respect...

  12. Any One Worked at Cedars Sinai L&D?

    I worked here, but not in L&D...in the SICU/TICU...horrendous. Worst experience of my life. Substandard nursing care, crazy busy with a truly messed up system...half paper/half computer/minimal...

  17. How far out can you get assignments??

    For the last couple years it has been pretty short notice, around 2-3 weeks prior to start date. Now, it seems to be around 6-7 weeks. The only time that I've seen 2-3 months in advance is for...
  18. Travel nurse workload vs. staff nurse

    I agree about Cedars. For example, there may be 4 nurses with only one patient and an open bed for an admission, 2 of those 4 nurses being travelers. The travelers will definitely get the admissions...
