I'm currently in Packard's 22 week training program for the NICU. Its a great place to work and I never plan on leaving! I love working here.. They have a new program again in July and will probably have another one 6 months after that. They hire in Peds, L&D, Postpartum, Oncology, Transplant, Nursery, PICU, NICU, and CVICU. Here's a link to the Versant RN Residency program which was started at Children's LA. http://www.versantrn.org.

:rotfl: Hi Mami thanks sooooo much for answering I accepted a travel position for 6 months on 3ns and I'm very excited. I know it's a great hospital I've done lots and research and can't wait. I start on July 12,just kinda dread the ride out 3000 miles from Florida but to escape the heat and humdity is worth it. I also do NICU mostly stepdown and like it pretty good I just don't do vents or micro preemies. I've been doing peds since 1974 and still just love it. I've never gone into work dreading it always excited you never know what you're going to see or do keeps things exciting. How is Palo Alto is it a fun place to live? Can't wait to get away from this area it's full of old people. Not that I'm not older I just have a very young attitude and energy. Nobody from work goes partying without asking me. good luck in your chosen profession. Margeux

I actually live in San Jose.. I plan to move closer to work either in Santa Clara or on the east bay in Newark next year. It is too expensive for me to live in Palo Alto but it is a very nice area. Many of our travellers extend their contracts at Packard, return time and again, or even choose to become permanent here. They enjoy working at the hospital very much it seems. Haha sorry I guess you really didn't need the new grad info.. but as far as travelling goes we have lots of them and we get along great..
