SuburbanGypsy - I live in the area and sent you a PM.

I have worked with a lot of travel nurses who do this. Never met anyone who took 6 months off. But definitely 3 months is not a problem. When you work with a travel agency, it's usually a 3-4...

It boggles my mind to see proof that new grads are being hired at CHOP constantly. I have over 10 years of experience, a BSN, and they refuse to give me the time of day.

Does anyone have any input? I am so back and forth on this decision. Keep my low stress boring job and have off holidays etc, OR pursue my dream but have to work a lot of nights, weekends,...

Sorry to hear! And Darlie, I feel your pain. I have experience too, but it seems that the only jobs I am called back for are the areas I have worked in. I did just hear back from one from a...

I've done both with kids. It depends. Do you have child care for the morning/whole day or just the afternoon? Nights with kids was good bc then I could be there for dinners, and homework etc. But...

Which job do I choose? What would you do? 1 - the pool job I have right now which is easy, not stressful, and would not conflict with family events, no holidays. However, it is boring, not...

Who else is applying to the new Einstein Montgomery medical center? It doesn't open till Sept 29, but I applied in June and haven't heard anything. Not sure when they are actually hiring. Anyone...

I looked back 6 pages and couldn't find anything, so... Anyone work at Main Line Health? Good/bad to report? How is pay compared to other area hospitals? What has been your experience?

Do you work for a staffing agency in the Philadelphia area? And if so, do you love it? Please share which are great agencies to work for.

CHOP knows there are a lot of nurses who think like this. This is why the recruiters are so rude! I myself have applied and one was so rude to me a few years ago. I was asked to interview, then...

I have worked agency in philadelphia before but, obviously wasn't 100% satisfied due to me not working with them anymore. And it's been a few years. Can anyone recommend a GOOD nursing agency in...

I've been an RN for over 10 years and have tried a lot of things out. I don't know if I will ever "specialize". Maybe if I am 100% certain I will never leave that job? That is the good thing about...

No, no experience in nursing school! I believe it was a liability issue. Just learned on the job! Basically thrown in to it. I do think it would be a good idea to take that phlebotomy class. I...

I am active in PA and no longer need my NJ license but don't want to completely abandon it just in case I need it in 5 years or so. The online renewal has 3 options: active (for $125), inactive...

Thanks everyone. I am active in my home state and now inactive in the other. I do have questions on he inactive vs inactive-paid options. Will look on the local board for that one I guess.

Thanks. I forgot about the inactive option. Now I can't decide between inactive and inactive-paid. What is the difference in paying or not when you are inactive? Ayayay.

Hi everyone. I have an RN license in 2 states. I literally only worked in the 2nd state for 2 days as an agency nurse. I had thought I was going to be working there more often but I wasn't. I...

You might have MRSA, and I probably do too. Many hospital workers, if tested, would be positive for MRSA, VRE, you name it.

Thanks for the thread! I am interested in home care and was thinking the same thing. Getting out of a hospital would be great. One on one care. It is true that I would not want to go back either...

thank you. i think i will pursue a different path but the on call sounds interesting!

hi, i am looking into a pacu job and wondering what they usually pay for being on call. in know it's not the regular hourly rate. do they pay you at half time? or is it a set dollar amount, like...

Do those tuition discounts apply for just the online programs, or for Drexel's on campus programs as well? I work in one of their partner companies but believe the discount is only for the online...

The funny thing is, I HAVE taken both a breastfeeding and childbirth class, I have kids and have breastfed them both. Know all breastfeeding issues inside and out. In fact, my love of babies and...

I think it is because the nurse recruiters they use are not friendly.
