That stinks! I am glad you have a new position. It sounds like the hours will work better anyway.

What you see is a lot of destressing here on AllNurses. Are some people unhappy, well sure. You will see many happy and fullfilled Nurses as well out there in the work world. You will read joyfilled testimonials as well. I think it is human nature to...

It does sound like fun The $25.00 an hour surprises me for California (maybe not so much for FL).

On Assignment is great. I have worked with them. They are consistently very professional and honest. A LOT depends on your recruiter and it sounds like you have a good one. I hope we hear from others who have had some experience with On Assignment. G...

Wow.. you have your hands full. Management is not for everyone. Trust takes time. What you seem to be having key issues with is lack of respect. I always like the idea of Modeling the appropriate behavior, partuclarly is there has been high turnover....

There are 4 week assignments for all specialties; being an OR Nurse is a big plus. They are not nearly as plentiful as 13 week assignments, though. You do need to "ask" all the Agencies you come into contact with about this option and tell them off ...
