Hospital Eval Form

Travel Nurses,

We want to hear from you!

Complete your hospital evaluation form after completing an assignment.

Your submission will help provide other travel nurses a better look at hospitals around the country. The sole purpose of this is not to degrade a hospital, but for travel nurses to express their honest hospital evaluations. Please keep in mind though, that different hospitals are different per unit, and what might not be a perfect fit for one nurse could be a great fit for another nurse.

There only two things that I ask of you… Please keep in mind that this is NOT a bashing form, all negative reviews will be investigated before being made live on the site. Most of all, be honest with yourself, the hospital, and other traveling nurses.
