  1. CNA or LPN? What is the difference in Iowa?

    HDFXDWGRN replied to ckhamill's topic in General Nursing

    When did LPN's start going through 2+ years of school? Maybe if you are going part time or failed some classes. I completed my RN in 20

  2. New Grad question

    HDFXDWGRN replied to AnalegnaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Go ahead and ask, it won't hurt. We have a request list for day shift that goes by seniority. It mostly depends on how your manager/facility handles it. You could also volunteer to do tracers, chart...

  3. What do ICU nurses do?

    HDFXDWGRN replied to mcpnurse's topic in Critical Care

    I personally like that I have two patients to pay very close attention to. Many of the places I work do not have CNA's in the ICU so the RN gets to do all the bathing, grooming, feeding (if possible),...

  4. Sign on bonuses

    HDFXDWGRN replied to MISSLOVERN's topic in Travel

    My recruiter has mentioned jobs in northern California but I'm not sure where. I worked in LA for five months at Cedars Sinai. I don't recommend that hospital but LA is a lot more fun than I thought...

  5. Traveling to AZ

    HDFXDWGRN replied to newrn05's topic in Travel

    Stay away from Banner Health's travel program. Two close friends were burned by them. Their hours were not guaranteed and after Banner cancelled several shifts or put them on call, Banner then made...

    "I just got my first assigment with nurse choice and they gave me one. Wasn't much of one but hey, I guess it was something! lol. But yes, I think b/c of the recession its hard for travel companies to...

  7. Georgia Travel Nurse Jobs?

    HDFXDWGRN replied to knowurjoe's topic in Travel

    The only jobs I hear of in GA lately are in Valdosta (far south region) and I have been trying to get information on the hospitals there from other nurses online without any luck so far. PM me if you...

  8. Weekend Package Nursing Positions?

    HDFXDWGRN replied to CountryLogCabin's topic in General Nursing

    I may be too late but I would recommend working in Minnesota over Iowa any day. It is not a compact state but I got my MN nsg license by mail in less than 2 weeks and I think it was less than $100 (at...

  9. Recommended Hospital in Iowa

    HDFXDWGRN replied to futureRNtraveler08's topic in General Nursing

    I'm originally from IA, now live in Arizona and did a couple of assignments in Minneapolis/St.Paul area over the last two summers. Did you sign up with a travel company

  10. Who's Hiring New Grads?

    HDFXDWGRN replied to chocolateskye's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have worked for Banner Good Samaritan in Phoenix for 3+ years. Right now I wouldn't recommend working for any Banner hospital but especially not Good Sam. We have been overstaffed with too many...

  11. RN moving to Austin - advice on hospitals & pay range

    HDFXDWGRN posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I am moving to Austin/Round Rock this fall from Phoenix. From what I have seen, it looks like most of the hospitals are on the north half of the metro area. Is the commute from Round Rock a decent...

  12. $1000 for a 12hr shift in So. California? HELP!!

    HDFXDWGRN posted a topic in Agency Nurses

    I live in the Phoenix area and someone told me that they heard a rumor that there is an agency/registry somewhere that will fly an RN out to California and pay $1000 for a 12 hour shift and then fly...

  13. $1000 for a 12hr shift in So. California? HELP!!

    HDFXDWGRN replied to HDFXDWGRN's topic in Agency Nurses

    I wondered if it was strike work. The person told me that she can work 1-5 days a week and her airfare and hotel are all paid for. I am a skeptic, so I thought I would check with some people on here...
