I had a great time doing a local travel at Lutheran General hospital, everyone was so welcoming & very supportive. They treated me like their own and i actually stayed for 9 months 3 contracts. I have learned alot & would definitely go back if there’s another chance in IR. I miss all of the IR staff❤️
