Travel nurses quit California hospital
after 1 day over EHR challenges
By Jackie Drees
F
our traveling nurses quit their as-
signments at Providence St. Joseph
Hospital just one day aer starting
because they were unfamiliar with the Eu-
reka, Calif.-based hospital's EHR system, the
Times Standard reported Sept. 4.
Providence brought on six intensive care
unit nurses, with four of the nurses quitting
one day aer their assignments began, the
hospital said in a Sept. 1 media statement.
Providence St. Joseph Hospital CEO Roberta
Luskin-Hawk, MD, said the nurses' departure
was "an unfortunate and unique circum-
stance," and attributed their leaving to on-
boarding training challenges and the nurses'
lack of familiarity with the hospital's EHR.
"e primary reason was that they were not
familiar with our electronic medical record
system — a system that is used by many hos-
pitals," Dr. Luski-Hawk said. "Additionally,
there were issues with the onboarding of
these caregivers, which created a challenge
for them acclimating to our hospital."
e four nurses who quit claimed they did
not receive access to the hospital's electronic
charting system, a California Nurses Asso-
ciation spokesperson told the publication.
"e travelers were met without necessary
resources, including access to the unit's elec-
tronic charting system and were immediate-
ly handed full patient assignments with little
in the way of orientation," the spokesperson
said. "So, four out of the six [travel nurses]
quit. In the words of one of them, the travel-
ers were 'thrown to the wolves' and with all
the opportunities available to travelers these
days, they just didn't come back." n
