   nsgshortage replied to WanderingVee's topic in Travel

   Does anyone know of a good agency currently that does NICU travel with housing to So Cal? I was there for 3 years 8 years ago. I want to return. Hard time finding a decent agency that pays fair. Thanks for any input.

2. travelers, do tell

   nsgshortage replied to sandals's topic in Travel

   The first thing to keep fair is the pay. If the travel companies sliced a bit more off their profits it would be easier to get the nurses. Always listen to the customer. If someone says they want to go to point A, and there is nothing currently ope...

6. wearing gloves when feeding neonates

   nsgshortage replied to chuddy's topic in NICU

   I also wear gloves when diapering and any handling of breastmilk. I do feel the babies also need the human touch with most aspects of their care. Most of the MRSA and infection I believe comes from the outside ie. parents, friends and relatives. Bl...

7. What does admit mean?

   nsgshortage replied to MK6babies's topic in NICU

   Run girl, RUN!!! Women have to study about money and how to make money!!! Don't be a nurse. Admit, where I work in South Florida means that you are carrying the load of 3 patients plus FIRST ADMIT. You will learn the beautiful world of the sucker ...

   nsgshortage replied to nsFAMU's topic in California

   XXXX Of course the travel company will make it sound so good. That's why they are sweetening up the deal with the rental car. XXX

   nsgshortage replied to wooosp's topic in California

   So Tenet gave you a semi "shirt" job! Try the reality of working for them as a pee on RN, your tune will change!

10. Encino-Tarzana Regional Medical Center

    nsgshortage replied to wooosp's topic in California

    Trust me. I learned the hard way. Tenet is bad. They don't even try to treat you like you are a human being. There are so many hospitals in CA to choose from.

12. Where Is The Worst place to work in Florida?

    nsgshortage replied to MsMorningGlory's topic in Florida

    First place would be Northshore Medical in Miami. Next up the former Parkway. Northshore is a ghetto hospital, very poorly run. Particularly the Maternal/OB. Director is a tyrant, also ignorant of basic nursing concepts. Avoid anything Tenet.

13. Preceptorships in the NICU in Miami

    nsgshortage replied to BaByLoVeR18's topic in Florida

    Whatever you do, STAY AWAY FROM NORTHSHORE MEDICAL in Miami. A poorly run, urban clientele hospital. Management is the worst.

14. Encino-Tarzana Regional Medical Center

    nsgshortage replied to wooosp's topic in California

    They are a TENET hospital. That would explain why they are crap! Tenet can't retain their nurses. They are the worst. Dangerous staffing, bad management. I would not work for Tenet again if they were the last hospital on earth. Avoid Tenet like th...
