   That's nice, thanks for the heads up. Wouldn't be interested in OR, but interesting nonetheless. Does anybody have a good general idea of what an ICU RN with a couple of years of experience would expect to make? Also how easy is it for you guys to...

   Snyder524 replied to Snyder524's topic in Colorado

   Centura and UCH are the two I'd most like to try out. I've never heard of a "regional float" position before. So essentially you would work at one of three different facilities? How'd you like it? Seems like amazing pay but the constant facility ...

   My hospital calls it LBO, limited benefits option. If you don't take the hospital insurance, you have to show that you have coverage elsewhere. When you do that, you can get a 20% bump off your base rate.

   Thanks for the reply. I work for a CHI facility here and love it, it's a great place to work. I just want to change the surrounding area, as Denver suits me a little better than Little Rock. You laugh at the signing bonus to some hospitals around ...

   Thanks for all the responses. If I decide to do this it'll likely be when I move to Denver, just want to get as much info and advice together as I can to make a good decision on this. I've gotten in contact with all three branches (Army, Navy, AF) ...

10. Questions About Being a Reserve RN

    Snyder524 replied to Snyder524's topic in Government

    The loan repayment is a big incentive for me so the trouble you've seen with it is disconcerting. I've never really considered Air Force, but I'll look into the and the Navy for that matter.
