I'm trying to understand what you have 4 years of experience in and how you specialize in ICU, trauma, and M/S if you're currently a student.

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 in my ZIP code for less than $350,000. I lived and...

Central California, 36 hour/week on 12 hour shifts, 10 years RN experience, operating room, $56 hourly pay, $double time pay after 12 hours, $8/hour for on call, $6/hour night shift differential, no weekend differential, health insurance for me alone...

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

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

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 IT FEELS GOOD!!! Worked overtime to pay off the s...

If a dressing was changed and the line is now occluded, it was done incorrectly. No need to go directly to the head nurse and instantly escalate the issue. And to say that a green grad has no rights, does that mean they can't politely speak up when ...

Can anyone email me this study guide? Thank you.

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. The money can be very good, but my motto is, there a...

Lol!!

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 experiences.

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 bought out by American Mobile Healthcare. You can re...

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

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

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, relocation assistance, etc. Since you have a year a...

"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 other parts of Massachusetts often end up being mor...

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 new grads can get a decent job in either place righ...

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, that would be great. Also, don't believe that once ...

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 AMN long term. The only way they stay in business...

I'm moving back to Iowa in the near future and of course, am curious about the pay. Please share if you can what type of nursing you are doing, how much you get hourly, shift differentials, bonuses, etc. I realize the pay is low in Iowa but still wou...

Thank you for the information.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the information! Interesting to know you have not found a pay difference between your hospital and Des Moines. May I ask how much experience you have as an RN?

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 offending anyone, just my opinion. Getting to and par...

It varies depending on the facility but is some type of pay incentive for working the harder to fill weekend shifts. Usually if you are doing the weekend package, they want you to stay on it for at least a year. Most places will give you one weekend ...
