  1. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    HDFXDWGRN replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

  2. 2015 allnurses Salary Survey Results

    HDFXDWGRN replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    It's not all relative. In and around San Fran, San Diego, or L.A., yes, but not where we live. In the midwest where pay is dismal, a comparable house is close to what it is here. Plenty of nice homes...

    HDFXDWGRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in General Nursing

    Sonometer! Not even sure if that's how you spell it.

  5. Have you met your husband at nursing? Is nursing a good career to meet men?

    HDFXDWGRN replied to Upward_Bound's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe this has already been said, but I think it is easier to meet women.

  6. Buying a new car for a new nurse ??

    HDFXDWGRN replied to gabriela1993's topic in General Nursing

    Buy Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover Book. Follow his advice. Buy a used car you can pay cash for. Best thing I ever did was GET OUT OF DEBT. I am 37 years old, don't owe anyone any money at all and...

  8. UMASS on Nurse Strike

    HDFXDWGRN replied to TinyRNnurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I sent you a detailed PM, but in my opinion, make sure you are absolutely 100% confident in your ability to function as a nurse with one day of hospital orientation and ZERO unit/floor orientation....

  9. Travel contract

    HDFXDWGRN replied to circnurs's topic in Travel

    Lol!!

  10. Who has Worked for Nurse Choice

    HDFXDWGRN replied to abcnurse123's topic in Travel

    In my travel experiences working for at least six different companies, I would choose NurseChoice, or any other AMN company, only if there are no other options. Just my opinion based on personal...

  11. Moving to Mesa.

    HDFXDWGRN replied to montinurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Try Favorite healthcare first. I worked for them, nurse finders, and Maxim in the PHX area at different times. Nurse finders would have been my first choice but really went downhill after they were...

  12. Moving Missouri to Boston, MA. Do you need BSN to work at most major hospitals there

    HDFXDWGRN replied to Orangeman4's topic in Men in Nursing

    Georgetown University Hospital in DC was a great place to work if you want to go that far

  13. Moving Missouri to Boston, MA. Do you need BSN to work at most major hospitals there

    HDFXDWGRN replied to Orangeman4's topic in Men in Nursing

    Never in FL, I've heard far more bad stories than good ones about the poor staffing

  14. Moving Missouri to Boston, MA. Do you need BSN to work at most major hospitals there

    HDFXDWGRN replied to Orangeman4's topic in Men in Nursing

    I believe new grad RNs are required to have a BSN my most, if not all of the Boston area hospitals. The Boston RN market is saturated and it is very unlikely you will find any kind of sign-on bonus,...

  15. Travel in Boston

    HDFXDWGRN replied to LaurenBlair's topic in Travel

    "Pay rates for staff in union heavy Boston rivals San Francisco and can top out over $70 an hour. But like San Francisco, housing costs eat into the agency bill rate, cutting your hourly. Working in...

  16. Travel in Boston

    HDFXDWGRN replied to LaurenBlair's topic in Travel

    Sorry NedRN, but what you said is very inaccurate other than both being union cities. A new grad BSN starts at over $100,000 in the Bay area. A Boston new grad BSN starts at around $65,000. Not that...

    HDFXDWGRN replied to T800's topic in Travel

    Do not take a job with this company. I've traveled for 4 years and what you said sounds worse than any experience I've had. I would love to know which one if you could post it or private message me,...

  18. Travel agencies for newbie travelers??? Need advice

    HDFXDWGRN replied to Lunalitsa's topic in Travel

    Do some research and try hard to find a company other than AMN or any of their ugly stepchildren to travel with. I'm on my 13th contract and have yet to find someone who has been happy and stayed with...

  23. MSP Critical Care Units

    HDFXDWGRN replied to mnscotti's topic in General Nursing

    I worked agency at ANW and United in 2007 and 2008. Personally, the nurses at ANW were more friendly and helpful, not that United was bad. The Docs at United were easier to work with. Sorry if I'm...

  24. Weekend Package Nursing Positions?

    HDFXDWGRN replied to CountryLogCabin's topic in General Nursing

  25. The Lowdown on Austin Hospitals

    HDFXDWGRN replied to luv2yoga's topic in Texas Nursing

    Please don't take this the wrong way but I don't think you are a nurse yet based upon your previous post that says you will graduate in May. Most likely, you will pass the NCLEX and do fine in the...
