Highland Hospital in Oakland (L&D)
Just word of advice for L&D nurses going to CA. Stay away from HIghland Hospital. I am finishing a contract here and it has been a place I wouldn't go back to. The staff is really shortstaffed and so you think they would welcome travellers, well I work days here and it is such a gong show! policies and procedures are way, dangerously, out of date. Some of the charge nurses are just rude! and will disapear for hours at a time while working, even though we are busy. A number of the midwives have power trips and are unecessarilyrude to staff and mostly travellers. staff regularly shows up late and I think it would almost kill them if they actually had to do some work for 12 hours. And the PP unit is also short staffed so travellers are floated there everyday.
