Temporary work in NYC

[cheesepizza]

Hi all! I am curious about the possibility of PRN and temporary work in the NYC area. I am looking at moving there in September, but would be leaving around December or January. I've been a nurse for 4+ years with a wide variety of experience. I know my timing points to a classic 13-week travel assignment, but I do not have the recent acute care/ hospital experience for this. Most of my clinical expertise is in LTC/hospice, home health, psychiatry/corrections.

If I was in this predicament anywhere else, my first thought would be to sign on with multiple staffing agencies and take open assignments, this is what I did when I moved to San Francisco and multiple other places without work and it worked quite well. However, I'm not sure of the availability or if this is realistic in the NYC area (I prefer work in the city or close areas of neighboring boroughs).

I'll be an 1.5 hours from the city this summer and there's the possibility of interviewing and trying to line up a position then. My sister also lives in Brooklyn so her apartment is available for me to crash in if needed.

I appreciate your two cents!

You'll definitely able to sign up for flu clinics (giving flu shots) around that time. Not the best if you're looking to make stable plans to budget your finances but great for PRN work. There are tons of them.
