Going to Santa Barbara as Traveler

by Ebeza

H :hatparty: i, i'm going to be a travelling nurse and I've chosen Santa Barbara due to it's gorgeous location and proximity to all of the things I need to be happy. I was wondering, can anyone reccommend a good hospital there to work at? I plan on staying for the entire winter. I've also chosen RNnetwork since I've heard so many good things about them, if anyone knows the area and can give me a few tips I'd sure appreciate it. It sounds like Cottage Hospital is very good but i'd like to pick the hospital if it's possible, they said jobs for October don't post until August. Thanks for your help-- :hatparty:

I never replied before...hope this is correct... I am in the process of looking for a travel job...Have been offered one at Orange children's in CA but I have been reading and hearing a lot of things and hope It is not a nightmare...even the recruiter has filled me in on what to expect as far as attitude and housing and more.I am just going to take the leap

Keep in mind, the reason many places need Agency Nurses, is there is something amiss. Sometimes the facility is reasonable and sometimes not. YOU must be prepared for the good and the tough (that is why you need to have a SOLID Nursing backround).

Good luck and let us know how you are doing.

I am in a position to do some travel nursing myself...as an agency nurse, summer is the slow time and I bet a travel assignment would work well then. Anyone else do that?

I got canceled every night but tonite this week...then tonite I actually got a shift, went outside and my @@XX% CAR wouldn't start....go figure.

Thanks for the link to Delphi Forums...been hanging out there and getting lots of good info.

Default California dreaming
I too would like to travel to California. Any more input from anyone out there? The information so far has been an excellent start, but I would like to know if anyone else has had a good CA experience.
Thanks,
