  1. Medical City Dallas Hospital Internship Feb 2013

    To everyone who did not hear back from Medical City- consider it a blessing. After being a nurse for 5 years, and venturing out of Medical City, I can say I did most of my learning from other hospitals. They are crotchety old nurses with crotchety ol...
  2. Seeking advice (clinical)

    I'm not exactly sure where to post this, but I am a traveler, so I thought it'd be appropriate here. It doesn't relate to travel nursing specifically, so I understand if it gets moved. I had a pt with several complications from a spinal surgery a fe...
  3. Is this what night shift really does to us?

    I'm hardcore nights, also. Ever since I was a kid, I'd be awake into the wee hours of the morning. When I started working nights 7 years ago, after many years of being forced to function during the day, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. I'm at m...
  4. Travel nursing need advice!!

    That's about the extent of all my orientations, and they keep getting shorter and less informative. It's imperative to have more experience.
  5. Has anyone else noticed drop in jobs?

    I thought I'd be able to pick a location and just go, but that's been difficult. I seem to luck out each time, and get my chosen location, but it was especially difficult this past time (~September). I wanted east coast, specifically Boston, but noth...
  6. Travel in Boston

    I contacted the Massachusetts board of nursing directly. They transferred me to the appropriate people, and I was informed to send in my misspelled license and they would correct it. After exactly 21 days (that's the amount of time they say it will t...
  7. New-ish ICU Nurse- Contemplating Travel Soon. Advice?

    My best friend I am traveling with has 1.5 years ICU experience in a level I hospital and 4 years in med-surg. I have 5 years in ICU at level I and II hospitals. We are trying to find assignments together and that's been difficult solely because of h...
  8. Deemed "not rehireable"

    I got two written references from that assignment and I have several from my current assignment. So it's not even worth the battle? On one hand, I'm thinking, 'fight it', but on the other, I'm thinking I really don't care to ever work for HCA or Para...
  9. Deemed "not rehireable"

    I'm a traveler looking to begin my 3rd assignment. With my last assignment, I got someone to cover my last shift for a steroid epidural I needed to pretty emergently get for my back. My shift was covered, have it all in writing from the nurse who was...
  10. Travel in Boston

    Thank you for the info! Massachusetts board of nursing severely botched my name, didn't see it until my license came in the mail. This is delaying my assignment in MA, so looks like I'll be trying for it in the Spring! Thanks to the idget who misspel...
  11. Need's some advice!

    This sounds like an awful situation. I know what it's like to work in that type of environment, and it's not right. I wish I knew a way out of it for you, and for when I get in situations like this. I tried to get an assignment in DC and was actually...
  12. Travel in Boston

    Hi LaurenBlair, I am looking for an assignment in Boston, will be my 3rd assignment, and I'm finding the same type of pay rates. I was surprised with Boston, as I've made far more at my other assignments, but Boston's so great, I think I may accept....
  13. Pros and Cons of Travel Nursing

    Most travel agencies I spoke with before deciding to work with the one I am with say it is a requirement to have 1-2 years of experience in the field you are looking to travel in.
