Thanks NurseStephen! I will consider that. I knew Little Rock wasn't too far away . And I believe there is another hospital in Benton close by as well ? I'll check them all out. PRN is always my first choice. But my husband has always carried our insurance . That may change when we move to Arkansas as he may be retiring early due to his rheumatoid arthritis .

Wow $8 dollars more for PRN? That's good. Do you mind telling me which hospital? And what is night shift differential if you know ? Thanks again !

Thanks beckaboo! That at least gives me an idea . I appreciate the response! Happy Thanksgiving!

Bump...

Anyone? A general idea?

Could anyone give me an idea of the pay rates for RNs in the Hot Springs area hospitals ? I have been an Rn 7 years, was a LPN 18 years. I have experience in med/surge, telemetry, peds, post partum, and most recently LTAC/HOU. My husband and I are thinking of moving to Hot Springs Village soon. We live in Mississippi now but Arkansas is our home state.

Does anyone have any info on Tulane's travel agency in New Orleans?I'm assuming it's an in-house agency. How much they pay, requirements etc. I would appreciate any info.:nurse:Thanks

I had a patient the other night who's IV kept beeping (positional) called and asK "Can I have a pillow to prop my arm on so my blood will stop flowing in the wrong direction?"

Isn't it a huge relief? Congrats!!!!!!

Well Pardon me! I just thought it was a nice way to incorporate the local culture into the work place.(If it was true, obviously it isn't) Didn't mean to offend. If I remember correctly it was on all nurses that I read that bit of info.

Wow sounds too good to be true in LTC. But maybe it is what they say it is. I've worked in good LTC's and bad LTC's but and eventually got to the point that I said, No more LTC jobs for me. But if I could find one like that I might give them another shot. I love the elderly but most LTC's have so many problems it just kept me in a stressed filled state even when not working. The fact that the nurses have been there so long is a good sign, and hey there is no harm in giving it a go and seeing what happens. It's not prison lol:lol2:, so If it doesn't work out for you then chalk it up to experience and move on, but honestly it sounds like a good job and the nurse patient ratios are comparable to most NH's (and even better than some). Good Luck

Is it true that Hawaii nurses wear flowers in their hair while at work? I think that is so cool.(and beautiful I bet) I hope to visit Hawaii one day,(maybe travel nurse, maybe just vacation) but I would love to see this in person. I can only imagine that if I was a patient how that would brighten my day!

maybe "secondary to tobacco abuse x 40 years" (Sounds a little less judgemental)

en-clex is the norm.

Must you have experience in Chronic dialysis before working in an acute unit? If so why. I don't know a lot dialysis but am interested. Thanks
