what happens if you cant find a place, or if you go to a clinical site and they seem that they dont want to teach at all.

Lately I have been thinking on going back to school to become a FNP. However, there are things that are holding me back. I would like to know if any of you went through the same thing. I love my 3 12hr schedule, work sunday monday and tuesday and go away for 6 days without asking for time off. I am a travel nurse now and as many now the pay is pretty good . I ask myself , is it worth it to go to school for almost 3 years if I can almost earn the same as a travel nurse? What if i cannot find a job that offers me a good flexible schedule? Any suggestion or advises are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for that great explination. Have you had a NICU pbds? do you know what diseases i should focus on? if you had a nicu pbds , can you give me an example scenario? Thanks so much.

I will be starting my first travel nurse assignment at Broward Hospital in Fort Lauderdale. I was not informed about this PBDS test until after I accepted the position and according to my recruiter if i dont pass the test I wont get the job. The travel agency has no study guides for this test. Are there any nurses out there who had the PBDS for a nicu position? Where there nicu scenarios? What kind of conditions? I dont even know where to start studying from. Thanks.

I will be starting my first travel nurse assignment. I was wondering how the orientation to the hospital/charting/policies usually goes. What questions as a nicu travel nurse i should be asking on my first shifts. I worked at a hospital that changed policies all the time in regards to blood transfusions, broviac dressing change, iv line changes, etc. Any recommendations or am I getting too nervous for no reason.

terrible in what? I am new to travel nursing and I might accept a position in wpb NICU

I am devating if I should take a travel nurse assignment or a contract FT job at a NICU in orlando area. Does anyone have any idea about the average salary for an experienced nurse. I have 5 years of experience.

I am new to travel nursing. It was my understading that they give you housing placement... does this mean that you are gonna live in a a hotel for 3months? I have a small dog. How am I gonna do that?

Thank you NedRN. Have you worked in Florida? Per diem sounds like a great idea. The problem is getting canceled frequently and not having income to pay rent and stuff. I think most Physicians have attitudes everywhere.

I am a NICU IV nurse with 5 years of experience. I have been out of work for 9 months due to life changing events. I really want to start doing travel nursing in Florida but am so nervous that orientation is only 1 or 2 shifts and then you are on your own. I feel like am already forgetting the practice on a lot of things. Any suggestions or comments on how to start travel nursing with the right foot? does anyone have any experiences with florida hospitals? Thank you all in advance.

I get paid $33hr night shift as a NICU RN with 1 yr of experience and i dont get weekend differencial, which sucks.

would you mind me asking how much you get paid now?

thanks, it says that in boca raton is about $30.50 hr, I am not sure how true that is..

your cooworkers dont even know what the real definition of "anti-social" is.

I want to relocate from NYC TO somewhere around palm beach. I just really need to know how much nurses get paid around there. Any info will be helpful. Thanks
