Offer Help!?

Hello all!

So I finally did it, I've been working with a recruiter for a couple weeks now and altho I've been hopeful to land a position in Abilene, Tx she talked me into "putting more eggs in the basket". So she recommended Washington DC. Well a Medstar hospital, offered me a position- I'm a PACU nurse with pre/post op experience.

$42/hr

36 hrs, rotating D/N

2250 taxed housing stipend

and it's a PACU holding, pre/post op position.

I haven't talked to anyone from the hospital but did get a call from them today- but have been in flight back home from vacation.

any thoughts? Suggestions?

It would be my first travel position and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!!

    Hi Ned!

    That's really one of the things that threw me for a loop. I was kinda taken back by it. I sent my recruiter an e-mail, just awaiting a response.

    Washington D.C. is worth it no matter which Medstar Hospital you are going to. I've worked at Washington Hospital Center and can confirm that management is hostile. Seems like reports from Georgetown are better. Both use a lot of travelers and I doubt either of them could be called traveler friendly in general. I wouldn't recommend any large hospital for a first time traveler, but if you have already worked as a traveler or in the South, go for it! Just sort out the pay issue. I would recommend signing up with other agencies as well for more options and a reality check on what you are worth in a given location.
