Seasonal Nursing employment...Have you done this?

[robred]

Has anyone ever been employed seasonally? I read about a hospital in Tucson that employs nurses seasonally for 13, 26 or 39 week assisgnments. Have you or do you know of someone who has done this? If so, how was the experience?

We have seasonal workers in Florida. Some will tell you it's the most dreadful experience they've ever had............"this isn't how we do it up north". If I've heard that once, I've heard it a million times. They make us feel like complete dope idiots for working for such low pay and poor working conditions.

Others will tell you they love they love it here and enjoy the nice weather and the things to do.
