- I worked in the 3F Stepdown department(s) in the hospital. This was a great team of nurses to work with. It was a scary time to be a nurse in NY and the unit had just turned into a COVID unit like a week or two before I arrived. There were rapids and/or codes every night the first month I worked but everyone pitched in to help. At the time there were probably as much travelers as there was staff. The techs were great and actually got the vitals and sometimes would turn or toilet my patients without my having to ask. Nurse manager was super friendly and let me self-schedule. Loved their secretary Ms. Carol. I would definitely return. 08/24/2020
Housing was approximately 2 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was Residence Inn by Marriott. Housing was located in city of White Plains. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 5. They were running a promo when I came in April for travelers for $50/night which was great because it had a full kitchen with dishes, fridge, microwave and stove. And you get taxes reimbursed if you stay over 90 days so that was nice too. It was exactly what I needed then. If it was affordable I would do extended stays like this all the time. - I worked in the ER department(s) in the hospital. Travelers and staff are not treated the same here, management has forgotten what it is like to be at the bedside and they walk about with a sense of superiority and entitlement, particularly the nurse educator. Some nurses are rude, generally overworked and sometimes you have to chase them down and beg for co-sign of meds. I observed one nurse showing another nurse a picture of a patient's x-ray on her iPhone that she apparently grabbed from the medical record with the camera. VERY unprofessional! Patient care techs were the friendliest staff members. Unit clerks were often frustrated with travelers that had too many questions and not already well-versed in the flow of the department. Ratios can get out of control particularly at night. There is no limit to the number of patients you can get, and the charge does not a do a good job of assigning patients from triage. You can get 2 patients at once if you don't speak up. Orientation needs to be longer and their Meditech computer system is very archaic. White Plains is not in a particularly seedy area at all, though it is purportedly the busiest ER in the county. I am shocked that this is a Magnet hospital, nurses are not 1st class here. I would NOT recommend this place to other travelers. 03/26/2017
Housing was approximately 1 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was Avalon. Housing was located in city of White Plains.

Housing was approximately 7 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was private. Housing was located in city of Mt Vernon. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 5.

Housing was approximately 8 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was Self housing. Housing was located in city of Mt Vernon. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 5.

Lots of bars, shops in area surrounding hospital. 09/27/2011
Housing was approximately 1 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was Avalon. Housing was located in city of White Plains. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 5. I found my own and paid an outrageous amount of money. Travel agency sent travelers to Hudson Park Apts in Yonkers and I heard they were not bad. - They require all your titers. It's expensive if you aren't covered by insurance. Make the travel company reimburse you.
I worked in the obstetrical department(s) in the hospital. The name of the housing complex was Winslow Hall. Housing was located in city of White Plains. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 3. The housing is in a separate part of the hospital; you don't even have to walk outside to get to work. But it is furnished with the *bare* minimum.
