Anyone been to palamor palmorado in san diego?

[huntfishwv]

My wife and I are heading to San Diego it seems like. She does M/S cardiac tele, and I do SICU/MICU/NICU. We were supposed to travel with fast staff but after months of them telling us we could get to San Fran, they tell us now there are no jobs. I called RN network and in 1 day the recruiter lands us a job in San Diego at Palamor Palmorado ( I'm sure i spelled this wrong lol). The recruiter has already called a nurse manager for us and has things going. He said my job will be ICU with a float to MS Tele when needed. A couple questions here: Has anyone traveled to this hospital and how are the ICU's and your view of the hospital all together? and has anyone traveled with RN Network? The only thing i'm uncertain about is how our hourly rate will be a good bit lower than my staff job I will be leaving but with the weekly incidentals ($250 tax free) and the housing stipend of $2000 a month tax free I'll be bringing home an extra grand a week. Shes getting the free housing, and the incidentals....I'm getting the incidentals and a hefty stipend. Just wondering if anyone has traveled with pay like this and what their view on this was. I talked to a seasoned travler and she tells me this is a good deal and we should take it seeing how this is our first travel assignment and those are hard to land.

I hear you , i also have my first assignment , the contract with quoted base pay is scary , but with everything added in should be about 1000 a week i can live with that .

$1000 bucks a week total? That seems way low to include all your per diems. Not is California I hope?

$1000/week on top of free housing is about right. Without free housing, $1400/week.

As far as Palomar, I know a couple travelers who have stayed for quite awhile, so it must not be too bad. San Diego is really great...just don't let them place you at La Mirage. Have fun. It is a good place to get started!!
