I have a nephew that was diagnosed with ADHD at age 4 or 5. My sister left his dad shortly before that and had multiple live in boyfriends/moved around a lot and now lives off the system, jobless and depressed. Im sure that doesn't help my poor nephe...

I need some ideas. I cant work in the hospital any longer :banghead:I have been working med\tele for 6 years and I dont want to work with such acuity any longer. I would ideally like to work 10hr shifts, no weekends, no holidays. I could do mon-fri 8...

Can I ask what your day of work consists of? Do you work late often? Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for all the replys! But I really dont want anything to do with the hospital system, not even case management. I am very interested in case management but it seems for many jobs they want experience. Im looking for ideas out of the ordinary li...

Hi erin, Im looking at getting out of the hospital and I saw an opening at genex for CM. Do you have to have experience in CM? I only have 6 years acute care experience but I need to do something else and looking at my options. Did you work from home...

I actually just took a permanent position here at UCSD hillcrest. I didnt like Thornton becuase of multiple reasons. No blood drawer, no transport aid. A lot of patients are "up scale" and want "up scale" treatment when you dont have the help. It mak...

I am so in the same boat! I was good for 6 months and now my body has had enough! I switched to days because Im just so run down and sick!!! I have one more night shift to go and I CANT WAIT!! After so much benadryl your body gets used to it. Im so s...

i have been a nurse for 5 years and just want out of the whole hospital system. i want to help people but not when they are so acute. i was going to apply for a health coach position and i was wondering if you could give me a little hindsight into wh...

Being a traveler here i have worked on every floor (travelers float first!!) but I am not an ICU nurse so I do not know personally. However I have 2 close friends here that work in the ICU float pool. Which ICU are you going to apply for SICU, BICU,N...

I work at UCSD hillcrest and love it

Being a staff nurse vs and traveler is totally different. Ive been a traveler in san diego for a year now and have heard horror stories of kaiser expecially there ER. BUT everybody has different experiences everywhere. I can tell you I work at UCSD a...

Not to be nosey but could you give me a figure of what a case manager makes yearly? I am interested in the CM field

Can I ask you what path you took to get to where you are now?

You sound very educated on this position. I have been and RN for 6 years now and have been traveling for 1 year. Recently I was offered a case management position and very interested in doing it. The thing is I dont know the community im working in ...

What is the deal with being taxed on my housing. Ive been in san diego since last october. Ive been with the same facility since jan. Am I going to start getting taxed in october cause thats a big chunk out of my paycheck. Anybody know how to get aro...

Im about to start getting taxed on my housing come october so i was thinking about doing per diem nursing to keep making some money here in san deigo. Does anyone know the going base pay? Im really looking at UCSD:balloons:

My one year will be up in october. And I am enjoying my time here in San Diego so much i dont want to leave. So before my contract is up I want to have other options open.

Im doing some traveling out in san diego right now and was shocked to find out there is a waiting list to get into school. I grew up in NY and you can get right into school. ALSO over 40K for school... mamma mia.. My damage=16,000 for a bachelors deg...

Im in San Diego right now from upstate NY and I love it here! I escaped the winter and Ive been here since last october. This was my first travel assignment too. So just beware if you really want to travel around.. you may not want to come here first...

I am a travel nurse and have been in san diego for almost a year. I worked for scripps in chula vista and hated it but I heard good things about scripps green and lajolla. I worked at USCD Thornton hospital in Lajolla and didnt like that either. Snoo...

I worked at scripps chula vista and hated it. It wouldnt be so bad if you spoke fluent spanish. I work for USCD and I love it. I keep extending my contract. I never worked for a teaching facility but I love it. The only downfall is you may be asked ...

I am also traveling with AMN. I have had a few minor problems as well but they have always been fixed right away. If you go with them tell em I reffered ya :)

I work with AMN in san diego and the housing they put me in was fantastic. I just moved though and took the allowance and im making a lot more money off it. Plus I live right next to the beach. It all depends on the cost of living where your going to...

I worked on an acute care floor in NY for the past 5 years. When someone was being accessed by hospice before they took over care there had to be a signed DNR. Just my experience.

Im on an assignment in San Diego, I took a Med\surg float pool position doing nights. Alot of travelers who also do this say they get called off once a pay period. Any info on working per diem with an agency? Anybody have to do this before? Thanks:ba...
