Thanks for the responses. What do you think about getting a rental car? I wondered how expensive it is in california. I am off to research that. I guess if housing is close enough, I could walk..that would be good exercise, right?

This being my first travel assignment, I am thinking of all of these things that I hadn't thought of! How do you get to work?? Is there a shuttle bus, do you rent a car, ride a bike/scooter or hitchhike?? Hmmmm....I shoulda thought of this before!!!!

Vicky, All of the advice her is WONDERFUL! Clinicals - Most importantly I would beseech you to remember how it felt! Remember how intimidated you felt when you got ready to do that first CBG or give that Tylenol to a patient for the first time! PRAISE, PRAISE, PRAISE, PRAISE. If they do something well, praise them for it. If they do something wrong, praise what they did right and then point out what went wrong : "I really like the way that you tucked the corners on the sheets, but perhaps next time you could put up the side rail so we don't have to pick the patient up off of the floor" :roll
