If you are looking into an assignment with HCA in South Florida, please make sure to question everything! When I did the phone interview, I was told that I would have a total of FIVE patients in the ER. Three would be true Emergency Room patients while the other two would be in stretchers in the halls and are considered fast track patients. I was told that no chest pain, no respiratory or abdominal pain would go in the halls. Not true. For the most part, you have five ER patients....sometimes even six depending on their staffing. I know of travel nurses that left early because they didn't feel that this situation was safe and they didn't want to risk their license. They may have good team work but five patients isn't safe. So, if you are considering this: please ask a lot of questions!!
