   qrkid replied to RNADN's topic in Oregon

   Legacy/Randall Children is a really nice NICU but not sure they will be looking to hire. Lost OHP contract so volume is way down and hours are being cut in NICU/PICU

2. Hourly Pay

   are you moving to Greenville for a specific reason? That is a big change from Toronto. Oh and the $22 sounds sorta right for a new grad. How much experience do you have?

3. Living in an RV. Need tax help

   qrkid replied to AshevilleRN's topic in Travel

   You could even look to rent a room to a fellow travel RN. They could sign a lease and pay you monthly so they can have a tax home. You would get the benefit of the income and still not really have anybody staying in your house.

   qrkid replied to RNninja's topic in Operating Room

   Our main OR people have to take 10 - 16hrs per month. I am on the heart team (3 surgeons, 2 rooms) and take anywhere from 30 - 70hrs a week (depends if I am on a weekend or not). Normally 1 full weekend every 3 weeks.

6. RN moving MD to Wilmington NC

   qrkid replied to Amberpohlhaus's topic in North Carolina

   Good that you are already aware of the pay cut you would take. NC does not lead the way in paying RN's and Southeast NC does not lead the way in NC in paying RN's. Consideration when looking for a house is if you will be within Wilmington city limits...

7. RN moving MD to Wilmington NC

   qrkid replied to Amberpohlhaus's topic in North Carolina

   Are you dead set on L&D or will you consider other area's? Pretty much just 1 place to work in Wilmington and that is NHRMC. Brunswick (Novant) do have L&D but it is very small hospital and hire way less people. I ask about other specialties ...

8. Assisting/scrubbing in the OR..

   qrkid replied to ivyleaf's topic in Operating Room

   it can be a concern and not only for instruments. I have had cervical issues which cause my 1 arm to be numb and I sometimes have to stand and hold the heart while he does 2 grafts and all he can say is make yourself smaller. I even resort to using m...

    I heard back around 25th of Feb for one of my choices. Each dept was at a different time. I know my buddy only heard mid March for ICU and then they interviewed really late.

    qrkid replied to Alan17's topic in North Carolina

    I was offered interviews in all 3 of my choices and was offered a position in my 1st two choices so I withdrew from the 3rd interview. Got job offers from Cardiac as well as the OR. I accepted a position in the OR. From my point of view they have bee...

    qrkid replied to Alan17's topic in North Carolina

    If you met the Feb 1 priority deadline with the video interview and application and all is the same as last year you should expect to hear from the departments you put as your top 3 around beginning of March. Generally you will interview with a few m...
