Why complain???

I am on my first travel assignment. As a first time traveler, why do I understand that I am not going to be walking into the best situation at the hospital, or they wouldn't need me, but a couple nurses that have traveled for a while dont get it? The hospital I'm at isn't any different then where I gave up a full time job, only now I get paid more to put up with short staffing. But one of the travel nurses I met is going to all the other travel nurses and ******** about the hospital and even went to her recruiter about the place. What about the place, that its short staffed??? Thats why we get paid to come there! That you only get about 8 hours orientation, again, thats what we are supposed to be able to do! If you are so unhappy with these situations, go back to regular nursing. As much as they ***** about this place, I can't wait to see how easy things run in any new places I go! LOL

Of course, I also find it entertaining that the full time nurses complain about the working environment, when you know it's a Hell of alot better then most places!!
