I have been nursing in Florida for 2 years now and I am sick of these Florida patients. The snowbirds season. The geriatric patients. The entitled, rich snobs. But I am mostly sick of how healthcare here is all 'customer service' and Press-Ganey scores.
Which states have you traveled to that had the most patient-centered care? The least politics? The least BS?
Thanks for the input.
I work with someone who came from Walnut Creek and shares similar stories.I work ED in a very affluent area near San Francsico and talk about entitled. One woman became upset because there was not an intern available to run to the drugstore and fetch tylenol for her child. Really? Like, REALLY?!
In our case, they just expect us to pull it from the Pyxis and give it to their kid/spouse/friend...

Yep, my pay is great. I also make $45 an hour. It is pool pay so no benefits, but I am guaranteed 60 hours every two weeks. I do get a matching 401k. I pay for my own health insurance and come out a lot better than when I lived in Kentucky and made $22.
