Need the Dirt!

Hi All!

I am new to the site. I am currently working in Oregon, but will be moving to Conn in August (Vernon). My husband will be working at UCONN. I was out there last week and looked at Windham, Hartford, St. Francis and Uconn Med Ctr. hospitals. I currently work in a 130 bed community hospital (non-teaching), but have also worked in major medical centers such as Johns Hopkins and Ohio State. I want to do a travel assignment before I commit anywhere.

Any ideas on good places to work? I am flexible on big/small hospitals I guess, but I am worried about patient load/staffing. I currently take 4-5 pts on a night shift! (this hospital is very well staffed). I am nervous about getting back into places where there is a nursing shortage.

Any ideas? Who pays well? Any info appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi. I am also new to this site. I'm an LPN, I live very close to UCONN, my fiance actually attends UCONN. I have a friend who is an RN who works at Windham Hospital and she is happy there, though I'm not sure of her salary. You could also try a staffing company such as Interim or Visiting Nurses Association to try out different areas. I do know for a fact there are many job openings in the Hartford/Manchester area. You may find it helpful to try www.careerbuilder.com. They are a website for finding different jobs in different areas, I always see them posted especially for that area. Hope this info helps a little.
