   Nuru replied to Nuru's topic in Travel

   Thanks for the reply, it's sort of what I expected to hear. Though is there a point where a hospital is so big that you get to niche in your department. For example I know that our hospital separates their OR nurses into several areas. So when you ta...

   Nuru posted a topic in Travel

   My wife has the opportunity to take an OR job at another hospital and would really like to go over there. The issue is that it's a smaller hospital. Our plan is to travel in 3 years to facilitate our sailing adventures. She currently has been an RN f...

   My city has hospitals that are a 1 and a level 4. My wife and I are looking to travel in 3 years and I would prefer to go back to the ED (I worked there as an ERT during nursing school) compared to my current department. My issue is that I currently...

   What does anyone know about Cruise ship nursing? It seems like you are allowed to bring a family member on board with you so if my wife and I both worked as nurses we could bring our 9 year old (at that time) daughter with us and it solves the proble...

   I actually got curious enough to call Faststaff and the guy was very helpful. He said that it's actually more likely we would find better options at other places. He said since they tend to pay a premium for emergency placements they are getting the ...

10. What is CRNA school like?

    Nuru replied to Nuru's topic in SRNA

    Do you know any schools that do a DNAP without a BSN. All the ones in MN require a BSN specifically. I do have another degree but it's in marketing.
