Stanford or Kaiser???

Published

Hello,

I have two upcoming interviews with Kaiser South SF and Stanford, both in ICU. I've heard that it is very HARD to get into Kaiser but at the same time, Stanford is well, Stanford. Anyone who have experiences with either hospitals? How are the pay/benefits/resources? 

I agree with this. That's why as a traveler I left. I was in ICU and it was poorly managed. I had to wait 2 hours after night shift until they found a replacement to take my assignment because they were so short staffed. I didn't know it until 730 am when I was looking around for the nurse.

The floor was so poorly run. There were so many unnecessary shifting of nurses and patients room around it made no sense. All ICU nurses are able to float in different ICUs. If they find an extra nurse to help anytime in the shift, if her home unit is this ICU they will change either a traveler or a nurse from a different ICU mid shift to the other ICU, so that nurse can work in her home unit, which is ridiculous. Then, there were this constant changing of patients to different rooms throughout the shift due to geography. 

Residents are rude, takes forever to arrive at bedside for urgent calls and then walk away without talking to you about the plan.
