1. Headed to San Diego in August... Hospitals/housing??

   Ragan replied to Kristi0043's topic in Travel

   I'm glad you posted that about IMU. With two people saying it's bad conditions, I don't think it's the place I want to be. I'm glad I'm learning this now and not when I get out there. I'll be searching elsewhere.

2. Fail Pbds?

   Ragan replied to mojofla's topic in Travel

   I took the PBDS with about 14 other travelers in Columbus a few months ago and passed it. There was one person who did not pass, but she got to retake it a couple of days later and did well. She was not knowledgeable in telemetry or cardiac at all,...

   Ragan replied to Kristi0043's topic in Travel

   I was just interviewed for 5 IMU at UCSD. I thought the manager seemed really nice. They want me to come for 6 months. After reading the post above about the unit, I'm rethinking....

4. How do you GET there?

   Ragan posted a topic in Travel

   Who drives? Who gets a rental car? How much does your company give you for this? Who flies and takes city transit? I'm from Ohio and thinking about California.

   University Hospital is next to a bad area in Clifton (urban suburb)..which is where the college is located. I went there, I did clinical rotations there. As long as you park in the parking garage, you'll be ok, but do NOT park on the streets across...

7. Advice - Relocating to Cincinnati OH

   Ragan replied to katesmom's topic in Ohio

   I currently live in West Chester, which I really like. I would also recommend Liberty Township, and Fairfield. These places would take about a 25 minute drive to get to a downtown hospital (Christ, Deaconess, University, Childrens, etc).

8. To those of you who choose housing subsidy...

   Ragan posted a topic in Travel

   Does anyone choose the housing subsidy? If so, what is your experience with this? I'm planning on moving about 2 hours away and I want to stay in that city (Columbus) for at least 9 months. I want to pick my own housing and bring my own things. S...

   Ragan posted a topic in Travel

   I just wanted to make a thread dedicated to the companies. Which one do you use? How long have you used them? What do you like about them?

10. American Mobile

    Ragan replied to axelrn's topic in Travel

    Since AMH works with other companies, such as Nurses RX and O'Gredy Payton, is their pay going to be the same all around? Or is it just AMH that is paying less?

11. Looking into travelling, but not too far yet

    Ragan replied to Ragan's topic in Travel

    I would consider agency, but I really like the fact that travelling companies pay for your housing, which is probably not true of agencies, right?

    I talked to AMerican Mobile Healthcare today and (I'm from around Cincinnati, OH) they told me I could not work in Dayton because I am within a 60 mile radius from the city. Anyone else heard of this?
