Hospital Rankings According To Traveling Nurses

It was discussed to make a list of hospitals that frequently hire traveling nurses and rate them; therefore, I have created this rating system for hospitals.  This will be the accumulation of data from all forms filled out.  The purpose of this list is for the travel nurse a better look at hospitals around the country.  This is an accumulation of all nursing data acquired through our survey.

Here is the list of questions asked:  (1) Hospital and unit size as stated.  (2) Hospital was clean and well maintained.  (3) Physicians treat the nurses with respect and are available when necessary.  (4) Continuing educational opportunities were made available.  (5) Ancillary departments were helpful.  (6) Dietary department was flexible in providing for special request.  (7) Medications were available within a reasonable amount of time.  (8) Equipment was available within a reasonable amount of time.  (9) Nursing manager was good resource.  (10) Other professional nurses were friendly and helpful.  (11) Nursing assistants were readily available and adequately helped.  (12) Effective communication between caregivers.  (13) Patients were properly identified and the identifications were used.  (14) Sterile procedure was effectively used as needed.  (15) Isolation precautions were used effectively.  (16) Nurses were floated only to areas of competency.  (17) Facility perceived to be "traveler friendly."  (18) Safe nurse to patient ratios are observed (close to that of California).  (19) Concern for patient safety is top priority.  (20) I never felt like my license was in danger.

Thanks again to all the traveling nurse who took time out of their busy schedule to help me with this chart by emailing me about your experiences!  If you have NOT filled out the questionnaire, please go HERE
