   Wow! I'd be thrilled to welcome an RN w/ 17 yrs of LPN/LVN experience! Congratulations on getting your degree. That's perserverance! I'm happy for you and can understand why that hospital "grabbed you up" the minute they got the chance! Aren't ...

6. Any traveling nurses out there willing to give advice?

   pearldora replied to tchinn's topic in Travel

   Here's my 2 cents. Pick an area of the country you'd like to live in for a year or two and research hospitals in that area. Find out what kind of specialized training they offer new grads in NICU. Many have programs designed to "groom" grad nurses i...

7. Internet access while traveling?

   pearldora replied to NICU_Nurse's topic in Travel

   Cable hook-up. I used to have dial-up, and oh my word! It's so much slower! It's not that expensive per month and no equipment to worry about.

   I love my Toshiba. For travel purposes, I keep an msn.com e-mail acct so that it doesn't change when I move. Just keep discs around to back up stuff occasionally. I bought mine 2 yrs ago on a 12 mo same-as-cash, no interest plan through a computer...

10. CA state Licensure... How long does it take!

    pearldora replied to Kristi0043's topic in Travel

    I did the "walk through" in Calif. in December. If you call ahead, they will NOT let you know what they have and have not received as far as transcripts or State Licensure certification. Believe me, I called and called. The best thing to do is con...

    World Health Alternatives, Inc., provides rental cars. But I don't recommend them as a recruiter. They have several class action law suits pending against them, and I believe they filed for bankruptcy in 2005. Beware! This company pays VERY WELL, b...
