I am currently on assignment at a kaiser facility in California. There are a lot of travelers there. I work ICU but I am never assigned there, always floating to tele or even med surg. The travelers here bust our butts and give good care. Imagine how I felt when I seen the regular kaiser staff nurses signing a petition demanding kaiser to stop using travelers and "hire local nurses". That wasn't the bad part , this petition generalizes all travelers as" they don't support our continuity of care, "they don't have any sense of teamwork". Really?? I am so upset to find these back stabbing nurses making generalized untrue statements about travelers. We just like staff nurses are concerned for our patients.
