Currently working at Christus in San Antonio in the ICU, very bad experience!!! Looking forward to the end of my contract!

oh no i am so sorrry that your experience is bad. when is your contract up? do you like san antonio? if so you should try to get in at metropolitain metro. it is fun place to work and VERY traveler friendly! good luck and keep me posted.

Thanks my contract is up the last week of december! Counting the days...

where r u going next? what is so bad about santa rosa? r they traveller friendly?

They are using the travellers to float to multiple units. When I signed my contract I was told I wouldn't have to float xcept to IMCU, When I arrive they tell me I have to float to cardiac tele and heme/onc. The ICU nurses are wonderful, but the travellers get dumped on on the floors.

Hello,

Was scanning through the posts with regard to Metro Methodist Hospital in San Antonio. I am working as a traveler to start on their tele floor next week. The patient to nurse ratios are high at 6:1 sometimes higher. I know at my previous job in Michigan we were 4:1 or 7-8:2 (RN/LPN). That was certainly busy if not unsafe many times. What have been your experiences with ratios? It's nice to hear the hospital is so traveler friendly. I think there are four travelers on day shift now. They must be down on staff. Hope that's not a bad sign. Anything you have to offer would be great!

I love San Antonio by he way. My husband and I married here two years ago. You extending your contract?

Thanks,

Traci :)

Hello-

I work in the MICU and the ratio is ALWAYS 2:1. When I interviewed for the position the manager was very clear that he does no believe in tripling ICU patients. On the other hand my husband works on the med/renal floor and the ratio is generally 6:1 and he loves it.

Will you be working days or noc? Generally days can be alot busier, but not all the time.

I floated to the tele floor (by choice) it was awkward at first because I had to really prioritize because of the patient load 6-7:1 But once I got in the groove I things it was cool. They people on the floor were helpful and friendly. Heck I even floated to ER and it was a blast.... You can really learn alot and beef up ur resume here!!!!

Anymore questions, feel free to shoot me a message!

GOOD LucK!!!!
