I'm an L&D nurse, looking to go pretty much anywhere for the right money. I want a sign-on bonus and relocation assistance. Do jobs like this exist? WHere do I look? I'm finding nothing but travel jobs when I do a google search.
Any advice?

Yes, jobs like this exist but be wary -
Hospitals that are good and have good nurse retention dont have to offer a sign on bonus.
Hospitals that offer large sign on bonuses/relocation assistance most likely cant keep their nurses and have horrible staffing ratios. You may be sorry, as you will be there for at least 2 years to receive your bonus.
If you really want, try South Texas. I beleive the McAllen or Brownsvile area. That area is said to be strapped for nurses.
Good luck!

try grand strand in myrtle beach south carolina. A bit ago they were paying 10,000.oo for cardiothoracic ICU, there may be a big bonus. It's a great place to live but be warned, that is a ransom bonus, you'll have to pay it back if you don't' stay ... X amount of time.
