  1. Top Reasons for Agency Nursing

    Cali replied to Burnenup's topic in Agency Nurses

    Is your question about agency/per diem or travel agency nursing? I'm an agency/per diem nurse and a travel nurse. I love agency/per diem nursing because: 1) I make my own schedule. (You can work or...

  5. any ideas about access nurses agency?

    Cali replied to girley1's topic in Travel

    I've been with Access for about a year. I'm currently on my third contract with them. I haven't had any major problems. This is my only travel company so I don't really have anyone to compare them...

  6. Credit for military training???

    Cali replied to armymdk's topic in California Nursing

    You can definitely go through an LVN to RN program, that's what I did. I had to take a 5-6 week transition course during the summer and then went straight into 3rd semester of the RN

  7. Prob. with Chicago Assignments

    Cali posted a topic in Travel

    Has anyone had a problem finding an assignment in Chicago? I was just checking online with my agency and they only have a few. I checked another agency and they had nothing at all. I'm not...

  8. Team Nursing.....anyone

    Cali replied to kdblueey's topic in Travel

    I don't think your assignment had anything to do with "adapting". That assignment was just odd. I've had days when we were short a CNA so the patients were divided up between the RN's as usual and...

  9. Credit for military training???

    Cali replied to armymdk's topic in California Nursing

    It depends on what classes you want credit for and the college you're going to. I didn't get credit for my Anatomy/Physiology because the college I went to had Anatomy and Physiology separate instead...

    Cali replied to armymdk's topic in California Nursing

    I challenged the boards for my LVN back in 2001. I was an Air Force medic. First, get an application from the board. The application will tell you the process for military personnel to challenge...

  11. Chicagoland?

    Cali posted a topic in Illinois Nursing

    What exactly is "Chicagoland"? Is it just a little nickname for Chicago or does it define a certain area in Chicago? I'm moving to Chicago next year and I have seen this term while apartment...

  12. Highest hourly rates seen $$$$$

    Cali replied to surething1's topic in Travel

    I think the rates sound "outlandish and unrealistic" to you because of your location. I live in California and work as a staff nurse and I average about $42 an hour after differentials. (night and...

  13. Chicago or stay in California

    Cali replied to Catch-22 RN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I was actually wondering the same thing. After doing a little research, it seems as though the situation would be the same. I work near L.A. and make about $41/hour and pay $1450 in rent. In...

  14. Who works (or used to) Registry?

    Cali posted a topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'm wondering if anyone could tell me the rate for registry in Chicago. My background is Med/Surg and Telemetry. I know some registries pay more for Telemetry. I currently work Registry in...

  15. CA license question

    Cali replied to dlaura22's topic in California Nursing

    Oh. Never thought of actually going to the BON. I live about 5-6 hours away from Sacramento so that didn't really cross my mind. That's actually a good idea, just verify with the BON that they will...

  16. CA license question

    Cali replied to dlaura22's topic in California Nursing

    If you can still work at your present job for the month of December and don't need your license for Wisconsin right away, I would say just apply for your licensure in California. You won't be able to...

    Cali replied to SirJohnny's topic in California Nursing

    Please do the livescan fingerprinting as Caliotter3 stated above if you can. It's alot quicker. When I applied for my LVN license for California I had to do the fingerprint cards twice which made my...

    I currently live in California and I'm working on paperwork for licensure by endorsement to Illinois. Can anyone tell me how long the process was for them. I mailed my verification of license form...

  20. Anyone recently licensed by endorsement?

    Cali replied to Cali's topic in Illinois Nursing

    They received my application on August 29th and I checked online on September 14th and it said I had an active license expiring May 2008. I received my Temp license in the mail on September 19th. I...

  21. Anyone recently licensed by endorsement?

    Cali replied to Cali's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Jolie, you were absolutely CORRECT.......... I waited like a good little girl until 6 weeks and 1 day after I mailed the form to my BON. I waited because I understand they are very busy. I called on...

  22. Anyone recently licensed by endorsement?

    Cali replied to Cali's topic in Illinois Nursing

    On the verification of license form, it says "return to applicant". It also says that on the verification of education form and I have already received that back from my school. I found it odd that...

  23. Anyone recently licensed by endorsement?

    Cali replied to Cali's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Yes, you can apply for a temporary permit in Illinois. Originally, I wasn't going to apply for it but now I am thinking I will because I'm putting my move to Chicago on hold waiting for this license....

  24. Anyone recently licensed by endorsement?

    Cali replied to Cali's topic in Illinois Nursing

    You are so right when you say the length of the process depends on how quickly your original state processes your paperwork. On July 13th, I mailed off my verification of licensure form to my BON and...
