  • I worked in the Diabetes Education department(s) in the hospital. I worked in the DM Program as an educator, the staff for the most part are very polite and welcoming and they treat you like family. There are some changes going around with supervisors that are making work hard for everyone. A lot of disorganization. 01/31/2018
  • Housing was approximately 43 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was NA. Housing was located in city of Gallup. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 1. Hospital has housing on campus for permanent employees and "shared" housing for travelers. However, shared housing is not pet friendly and other housing is given to certain travelers and not others. I was not able to get into housing because I am a traveler. I stayed in Gallup at Red Roof Inn, gallup has a high crime rate but is the only nearest place for housing. I would not recommend staying in Gallup, I had a car break in while on assignment.
  • I worked in the Labor and Delivery department(s) in the hospital. Hospital uses a lot of contract staff, but is very friendly to travel nurses. Charting system is inefficient. Worked LDRP and nursery in order to transfer babies to higher level of care. Unique hospital, all Navajo run. Labor floor is midwife run! 04/07/2017
  • Housing was approximately 35 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was air bnb. Housing was located in city of Gallup. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 5. Some housing available through the hospital, but it is sometimes full and you'll have to find housing elsewhere. Nearest city is Gallup.
  • I worked in the ICU department(s) in the hospital. This hospital appears as one that has allowed for a breakdown in quality Respectful Management that has filtered its way int staff members. The decisions of making mistakes and not correcting thos mistakes by holding Management and Physicians accountable, rather than above the rules make for continued caos. They are able to hide it at the bedside for the patients, but still continues to provide a poor workplace environment of untrusting Management and staff. I worked in an the ICU, Critical Care involves relying (trusting) one another to help a situation during a "Code Blue", not hurt it by untrusting co-workers and management. I found physicians and staff to be impaired at times, under the influence of marijuana, medications and alcohol. I left after new management tried to alleviate understaffing with unqualified and incompetent restaffing the ICU with Medical Surgical Nursing that didn't know why they were administering certain medications. 02/02/2016
  • Housing was approximately 0.5 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was Ft Defiance Housing. Housing was located in city of Ft Defiance. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 5. Housing is adequate but in limited supply during the summer months
  • I worked in the er department(s) in the hospital. ED manager is perfectionistic, OCD micromanager who has to call you aside 3-4 times per shift. A quote: "if you call me a micromanager, I wear the badge proudly". sneaky, will change your schedule suddenly. gets angry when you don't work extra. considers travelers disposable like Kleenex. 08/17/2015
  • Housing was approximately .5 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was navajo housing. Housing was located in city of ft defiance. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 2. heat didn't work till I complained. bare bones, mismatched, used furniture. nasty bathroom(mildew in tub). slob roommate( an understatement).
