   EastCoastLiving replied to EastCoastLiving's topic in Emergency

   Thanks for responding! I've looked at the jobs tab here on allnurses, but it doesn't seem like it's updated often. I didn't even think to check the ENA website, but will scope it out and see what's there. I've only ever worked in the ED, but I'm defi...

2. Telemedicine RN kaiser

   EastCoastLiving replied to carlyfry's topic in Triage

   Hey there! I know this is an old post, but I'm really curious about the California Kaiser telemed RN positions. Are you still considered a union nurse and if so, is your pay scale the same as a staff nurse? How hard is it to snag a day shift and do t...

3. Job Searches

   EastCoastLiving posted a topic in Emergency

   I'm just curious where people do most of their job hunting. I mostly go directly to the employer website, but sometimes will search on Indeed or other sites like that. I find the latter is a whole lot of travel jobs though. Where do you normally sear...

4. What's up with ER traveler pay right now?!

   EastCoastLiving replied to EastCoastLiving's topic in Travel

   From what I've seen, most new grads in the ED have at least worked as a tech in the hospital. I literally went straight from nursing school to the ED without any previous hospital exposure (besides clinicals) and it was difficult. I'm not going to li...

5. What's up with ER traveler pay right now?!

   EastCoastLiving replied to EastCoastLiving's topic in Travel

   It's so hard for me to imagine anything more difficult than learning how to manage the ED. I went straight from nursing school to a large level 1 teaching hospital in MA. It involved a cross country move and I knew no one. It's one of the most diffic...

6. What's up with ER traveler pay right now?!

   EastCoastLiving replied to EastCoastLiving's topic in Travel

   Why do those other specialties pay so much more than the ER? I've actually been curious about that for awhile. Would you mind comparing and contrasting East and West Coast ER jobs? I only know the Massachusetts way. :)

7. What's up with ER traveler pay right now?!

   EastCoastLiving posted a topic in Travel

   I've been researching travel nursing for over a year now and keep seeing people mention how low the current pay is. I'm so close to taking an assignment, or would be if I could just find one that pays well. Some recruiters recommend that I just take ...

8. New nurse: I get no respect

   EastCoastLiving replied to Nurse326's topic in Emergency

   Trust is EARNED. Respect is SHOWN. The sooner we start collectively recognizing this, the better off we will be as a whole.

11. Oh, for the love of...any ED positions that are not nights or rotating shifts in Boston?!

    EastCoastLiving posted a topic in Massachusetts

    I will never understand why rotating N/D shifts even exist - it's the unhealthiest thing EVER. With that said, I've been searching for an ED position in Boston for months and find one of two things: A) rotating N/D positions and/or nights only and B)...

12. Boston Hospital Job Market

    EastCoastLiving posted a topic in Massachusetts

    I figured it was time for a more updated thread on the Boston job market... So here's the deal. I graduated from an out of state University with my BSN last December and was fortunate enough to snag an ED position in a new grad program outside of Bos...
