   Ok. Because I keep hearing it should never be below 18 or else it is a red flag for the IRS. Just concerned with this being my first assignment and not really understanding all of the tax aspects yet.

   Ok. I am actually waiting on another recruiter to send me an example pay package as well. The one above is just a basic one to give me an idea of what the numbers will be. I think it will be more because I am PCU/Tele/Stepdown Cardio. I just need hel...

   Hello all! Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me with this. I'm not planning on taking an assignment until April, but asked my recruiter to send me a basic pay package for the area. This will be close to what I will be offered I guess when...

   I've known Forbes Regional Hospital to use agency nurses before. I don't know which agency it was though. I know this for a fact because I worked there for 3 years as a PCT and met many! Be warned though, that hospital is the roughest of the rough. ...

10. RN to BSN folks; Clinical sites in Pittsburgh

    jlshort06 replied to jlshort06's topic in Pennsylvania

    I definitely want to do hospice volunteering. I would not mind the Health Dept and would probably prefer to do the Immunizations clinic. For the non-acute care setting, I only need 2 8 hour days. I would love to do more with the hospice care though...

    I need a site in at least one, preferably 2, non acute care setting. I've always been interested in volunteering for hospice programs. I was also thinking a couple of days with the Health Department.

    jlshort06 posted a topic in Cardiac

    So, I just finished my first week on orientation. It is definitely a lot of information to take in. I do feel myself struggling with transitioning from that role of a nursing student and a aide for so many years. I hope to leave that behind after ...
