  Truly the worst place I’ve been. They have some of the worst bullies I’ve encountered in my career. They constantly talk about things being “the cedars way” but it’s really just an excuse to stay stuck in the past. If you put your head down and avoid the nasty nurses on your unit, you’ll be fine. They really need to work on their nursing culture though. I’d frequently find newer nurses crying and stressed while the charge nurses berated them for being slow and incompetent.

  Scrubs Caribbean Blue Ratios 1:4 at times 1:3 in high acuity pod when mid shift arrives. Team Leads in each area. 30 and a 45 minute break usually first break is 30minutes-2 hours after you clock in. Second break is usually 4-6 hours into the shift and then nothing after that. Busy ER. Usually taking boarder patients until 3pm and then getting all new ER patients at the same time if the waiting room is full and you have empty rooms you are getting them all at the same time most likely. CPs or their nurse assistants don’t have a lot of scope they can’t do straight caths, draw labs, irrigate wounds, or check blood sugars. Staff and other travelers are friendly everyone works as a team and helps each other. Normal outliers but otherwise it’s fine. Narrative charting. The system they have doesn’t allow for alot of click box charting. Also the surgical and inpatient teams are not easy to get a hold of when you have their patient in the ER for 12+ hours. Up side is that they have voalte phones so you can text or call MDs if they aren’t logged out and you can easily scan meds and chart pain assessment and vital signs on the phone they give you. Very customer service based facility they usually have 1 or 2 patient liaisons in the ER alone. Over all not a bad place to work.

  This hospital is not traveler friendly. I’ve never worked at a hospital that had such an entitled nursing staff. Especially the Saprestein tower. For example, a staff nurse said a traveler was struggling with her job because she had to stay a little late to chart during day shift. Mind you this nurse had a patient that pressed the call bell every 15 minutes. The staff nurses are rude to the nursing assistants (clinical partners). I witnessed a resource nurse explaining something to a NA and ended it will “it’s simple” with a very passive aggressive tone. They also try to tell you how to do your job as if you are a new grad nurse. Received a lecture on the type of bed the patient should be on at 2000 during med pass and the patient arrived to the unit at change of shift. Sorry that’s not my priority at this moment. Travelers are automatically in the float pool. Which I guess would be fine, but the layout of this hospital is awful and confusing. I would not recommend working here, try UCLA instead.

  Travel nurse • Intensive Care

  Listed as ICU float pool but you’re basically all levels. Many times I didn’t see an ICU for like three weeks. Staff seems resentful to travel nurses (charge especially for some reason) and you will ALWAYS have the worst assignment, violent and confused. They’ll give you multiple in one shift, too. I know there are worst assignments, but I wouldn’t do it again.

  Floated to 25 different units in 10 weeks. Was told I was ICU float pool and I almost never worked in the icu. They pick favorites and will ‘master’ them In the ICU and leave the rest of the travelers stranded on the floors with 5 patients every day. Management not open to suggestions. Extremely disorganized. Placed on a different unit daily so There was no continuity of care which patients and families constantly complained about. Every floor has their own set of rules and policies so it’s a struggle every day to complete the most basic of tasks. Staff gets annoyed when travelers don’t automatically know their specific unit policies. Overall extremely frustrating and exhausting assignment. Haven’t met a single traveler who is extending.

  Honestly, I’d work here again. I was float pool but I was treated very well . I know NOC shift staff are more accepting than day shift but I only ever ran into 1 rude nurse. The doctors are very supportive and responsive, patients weren’t bad for the most part, charge nurses were very supportive, and there was plenty of rapid nurses, iv team, even for NOC shift. I’d recommend this to anyone. Ratios were fair, you get mandated breaks and they treated travel nurses well

  Hard pass on ever coming back here again. Unit incivility, toxic management, and lots of safety concerns. Surgeons were expecting us to work out of scope. Lots of incivility and tantrums from said surgeons as well. Leaving was a huge relief.

  ICU travelers are used as hospital wide float pool, I was not made aware of this until I was there on the job.
