Likely understaffed or if it was staffed, it had travel nurses who didn't specialize in NICU.

I've heard some pretty bad understaffing stories from nurses I know at Mount Sinai (5th Avenue main hospital). Some units have had high turnover rates in a year with nurses also having to do jobs that other hired folks (such as techs, orderlies, etc.) won't do.

It doesn't make sense to pay a premium for travel nurses + pay a commission to the staffing agency when you could just hire more full time nurses.

If you know a nurse who works there, it's likely they'll tell you the same if they've been there the past 2-3 years.
