Background most all depts in hospital - except L/D, Newborn - and agency work in various LTC's.
I'm moving to New Mexico by year's end and would like to get on with another agency in either Albuquerque or Santa Fe. Unsure what location I will actually live in at this very moment.

Any suggestions as to whom I might contact? I will be very new to area and would like something that would keep me close to home while I get my bearings. Do hospitals in NM areas use agency nurses? And specifically LPN's?
IV certified, telemetry experienced. but want to do whatever necessary to remain as independant from the politics as possible.

Any help or ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated! ]]> Agency Nurses Ashera http://allnurses.com/agency-nurses/love-moving-nm-439795.html http://allnurses.com/agency-nurses/starting-do-agency-436644-new.html Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:00:16 GMT Hello!

Due to certain situations, I'm gonna start taking agency shifts while I look for a permanent job. If I don't work, I will become homeless. I'm scared with agency as I've always like sufficient orientation in jobs so I feel like I know what I'm doing.
I'm a good nurse, a bit shy and self-depracating, but what worries me is that I know that doing agency, I could walk into a situation where the other staff are mean and if the charge wants, she can find anything wrong with me to ask that they not invite me back. It's a power they have.
I'm a good person but I've always had problems understanding why certain people are mean. Anyway, I am just hoping it is not a horrible experience. Any advice? Thanks all!!

P.S. I hope they don't fault me for asking questions, they shoudl realize that it's for patient safety I ask questions, not to annoy them. Also, I'm not to happy about the fact that once I do an agency assignment at this hospital, I can't apply for a permanent position at the hospital :(.
