And that was your only Cali income for the tax year? Sheesh 5% on $1250 is a bit steep. Thanks for the info.

The reason I am asking is NYC-8.8% has a high income tax rate similar to Cali however if you are not a resident you get most of it back. I was wondering if Cali is the same, evidently not. By the way I live in Oh too tax rate is 4.99% Cali is slidin...

I have an attic apt 5 min from the hospital. I had a friend that worked here a long time ago. Haven't heard anything bad, usually the first you hear is bad. I can do anything for 11 weeks.í ½í¸€ how's the testing?

Hey Melissa, when do you start? I'm starting monday.

I'm getting ready to do an assignment in Ohio, the hospital is requiring a fingerprint BCI. Is this something new? I have had them done for a license but not a specific hospital. Thanks!

Thanks Ned. I thought it was odd especially as I'm and Ohio resident. That makes sense. It is a LARGE teaching hospital in Cleveland. Lots of international visitors/observors/resident.

Hi! I have a good O/T rate but I have a q. Has anyone negotiated an extra shift bonus when staffing is low? The hospital I am at now just started offering $1000/shift extra to staff. The amazing thing is they have excellent ratios. 1:1 or 2, rarely...

Hi, I am looking at taking a travelling assignment there and was hoping for some straight answers. How are travellers treated there? some places are grateful for the help and some resent them. How is the parking? I would be doing nights. What kin...

For anyone doing 48/ week. How bad is the withholding with the OT?

Does anyone use a blanketrol 3 for cooling for HIE? If so, do you use developmental aids for comfort? Thanks!
