Indianapolis - Riley's and Methodis

[nursprl_onthego]

I'm looking for any information (good or bad) about Riley Children's PICU and Peds CVCIU. Are the units traveler friendly? Do you get the to get a good pt assignment or get dumped on? How is traveler scheduling done: along with the core staff or fill in holes?

What about Methodist's PICU? Do they have a CVICU as well?

Any information greatly appreciated. I'm looking in going to Riley next and want to know all updated info and experiences please.

Thanks

I don't know anything about traveling, but I can tell you that Methodist has Peds, CV, Neuro, and Adult ICUs. They also have a Level 1 Trauma Center. Riley (a children's hospital) also has a Peds ICU and a peds ER.

Methodist Hospital, Riley Hospital for Children and the I.U. Med Center are all part of Clarian Health Partners and they all share the same HR/Nurse Recruiters located on the I.U. Med Center campus.

Wishard Hospital (separate from Clarian) also has Level 1 Trauma and ICUs.
