Looking at a seasonal RN job at Yuma Regional Medical Center. It would be my first travel job, I have 1 year of experience which is what they require. The job is in Tower 2 Telemetry unit, I like nights.

Anybody work seasonally here? What is the patient load? How is the patient acuity? How were you treated as a seasonal worker by management & staff? Is the workload reasonable?

Thank you!

Specializes in They know this too!.

Hi! I worked in AZ last year and had 6 patients on nights on a Tele floor. I don't think they have ratios in AZ but, correct me if I am wrong. When I worked Med/Surg in 07/08 I had up to 12 patients just because, someone called out and they had no replacement. That only happened once on an assignment. Things happened.

I would like to know more about travel nursing assignment in Yuma AZ at Yuma Regional Medical Center. Like what are the nurse to patient ratios in medical/surgical units and telemetry days.

seasonal nursing and travel nursing are usually two different things. Usually seasonals work for the hospitals and not through a separate company contracted out to get the staff for them. Travelers work for a third party. I used to hire seasonals through the hospitals HR and travelers through agencies when I was living in an area that was very tourism seasonal......
