Hallo…
I’m a new grad nurse who started out in Iowa, and let me tell you, the patient ratios are a nightmare—usually 1:6, and in Mason City, some nights it’s even 1:7. It’s been pretty rough.
I’ve done some traveling to Minnesota (United Hospital in St. Paul) and now I’m in Washington (Swedish First Hill in Seattle), and I’ve loved both places! I’ve never had more than 5 patients on nights, plus I actually get breaks, which was a total dream compared to Iowa.
So I’m curious—where have you all traveled or what hospitals have you worked at that you really liked? I’m in med-surg, so any recommendations would be awesome!
With best regards…
the setting that best suits your requirements and interests is the ideal location to work as a nurse. When selecting a choice, it’s critical to conduct thorough study and take all relevant considerations into account.
Depending on personal preferences and professional objectives, there are differences in the top places to work for nurses.
offer a more laid-back pace of life, shorter commutes, and a cheaper cost of living yet maybe having fewer employment options. Offer chances to work in many cultures and acquire invaluable expertise.
Give a more concentrated environment and maybe present chances to collaborate with particular patient groups.Allow nurses to work autonomously and give care in patients’ homes with home health care.
may pay more, but they could also have more demanding workplaces. Provide a solid work environment and job security.
