WOW! Thank you so much! That is the most helpful post I've ever gotten! I learned more from you in a few paragraphs than I have scouring the internet for days! Those hospitals were all on my radar, however, the only way I can get in as a traveler is to join the appropriate agencies. Right now, I'm working with two that seem promising. I'll keep all of your advice in mind- you've been so helpful. As for the real estate, we've taken the easy way out and taken staff housing from Masonic. I hear the place is dark and a little depressing but it's dirt cheap and until I get a job- dirt cheap is gonna have to be the way to go! I'm very excited to live in Chicago, it sounds like a great place. Who knows? Maybe I'll end up on your unit!! Thank you again!

Hello All- My fiance just accepted an awesome position @ Illinois Masonic Medical Center...and I've just got to follow him there :redbeathe! Right now I do travel nursing and have been in Manhattan for about 8 months now (Maryland, before that) and I want to take the plunge into Chicago. I have been to Chicago a handful of times but have no idea what the nursing scene is like. We're going to be staying there for atleast 3 years so I'd like to take a travel assignment first so that I can get a feel for the area. So, I guess my questions are: which hospitals are best? which agencies do these hospitals use? what are the ratios like? PS- I'm a tele nurse with about 6 years of experience, I will have a car, and plan to live in the Lakeview area. Thank you all in advance for your help!!!

My fiance just got a job @ Loma Linda University Medical Center in California. I'm currently a traveler in NYC and would like to make the move to the west coast. ANyone know anything about California...specifically Redlands(???), California? Thank you for any advice and suggestions in advance!:wink2:

i thought that nursing homes typically pay more...but the benefits are usually better at a hospital...just because it's a bigger corporation. and if you want experience a hospital would be better.
