Travel nurse workload vs. staff nurse

[vikichck]

Hello,

I'm wondering if being a traveler usually means higher patient ratio, harder patient assignments. I'm concerned about the toll this can take on my body. Will I need a vacation after an assignment?

Thanks!

I ink it really depends on where you are. I am in a place right now where the travelers take all the rooms and the staff does ... Well what ever is left to do.this unit has only 7 beds and they are staffed with 4 nurses. So if you do the math it still does not add up.

Yeah frustrating at best.
