  1. Contract Problems...Experienced Travelers PLEASE help!!

    It sounds like you've got three different problems, here: 1. they offered you a weekend option. Hospitals that offer "Weekend Option" do so to make sure their weekends are guaranteed covered. It usually means you work TWO 12h shifts a week - either...
  2. Aya health care/travel agency

    Ummm..."per diem travel job" means just that. A per diem position, not a full-time one. Moving cross country for a oer diem job seems sort of crazy...nothing personal, but I don't understand what you were expecting...
  3. Aya health care/travel agency

    I just wrapped up two years in NYC with Aya (formerly Access Nurses, NOT Axis, as someone else posted. Do some research.) and honestly I had no major problems. With each contract I signed my recruiter (who was lovely, and always available by phone o...
  4. How is the job market for Registered Nurses in NY?

    "One would suggest you haven't been following things closely as you tought then, for the annoucement did mention nurses, and was covered by local news media at the time." One would suggest that your tone is rather rude. I thanked the poster for the ...
  5. How is the job market for Registered Nurses in NY?

    Thanks for that! All the other pieces I read were vague. Administration, clinic jobs and hiring freezes were the focus. No mention of nurses (not that all those cuts wouldn't affect nurses anyway, because of course they would!)

  7. Cervidil Question

    Where I work, if the pts MD is one of the less harried ones and the conditions are favorable (meaning that the unit isn't packed to the rafters...betcha thought I meant the PATIENT'S conditions! Ha! I wish.) then they might place a second cervadil fo...
  8. I've found myself in an annoying pickle over the last couple of years: I work at one of the few NYC L&D units that don't require AWHONN's Advanced FHM course. I hate working there and need to move on, but essentially can't without that dang certi...
  9. Physiology of FHR monitoring

  10. Mandatory Flu vaccine

    Actually, flu vaccines aren't on the NVIP list. I don't really fear the standard flu vaccine, either. But the swine flu vaccine gives me the willies.
  11. Mandatory Flu vaccine

    I think "paranoia" is a harsh word. For me, my issue is a lack of responsibility and a lack of liability. I don't like the idea of getting any shot or med and having no recourse if something goes terribly wrong. I'll admit that considering the massiv...
  12. The hospitals themselves don't pay you back, but NLRP absolutely will allow for some of your federal loan money for nursing school to be repaid if you work at an HHC hospital. I think it's one year of partial payback for each year worked and you can ...
  13. Mandatory Flu vaccine

    The problem is if healthcare workers are mandated by the state for flu vaccines, it sets the stage for the swine-flu vaccine to be required as well. A rush-job if ever there was one. Not a lot of testing. Not a lot of confidence. No liability on the ...
  14. male labor and delivery nurses

    Holy Cow, omeconium! WHAT a nightmare! So glad you persevered and got what you wanted. WIN!
  15. What is your schedule like?

    I work three 12hr night shifts a week as a travel nurse (1930-0800) and I wouldn't have it any other way, no sir! As a traveler I'm discouraged form working any holidays (imagine that!) but back in my staff days Thanksgiving, Easter and Jewish holida...
