what is a typical weeks work schedule like? Is it more often a forty hour week or much more? what time do you start and end your day? is it ever an 8 hour day or is it more common to work 10 or 12 hour days? how much vacation time do you usually take each year? Can you schedule a random day off if you need or want it or is it a big hassle? How are weekends and holidays handled?

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I didn't think of the fact that we would be really remote and it may be hard for my husband to find employment. Driving a long distance to work would be something dfferent for me I only have a 15 to 20 minute drive to work now.

Bumping this up in case anyone else has any info. Thanks

Looking to get some information about working for IHS. I found the web site and have reviewed it but I would like to here some real life personal experiences from those who have been. I do have a husband and kids and we are looking to make a move. Thanks in advance for anything you can share

How did you make out with this position? Any info you share about the hospital, salary,benefits,ratios etc.? Would love to hear it.

Would love to know what your offer was as well. Looking at moving to the area in June/July 13. Feel free to PM it if you don't want to put it out there.

Can you share what you are paying for your family health insurance coverage and dental and vision? Moving to Fl and hoping to have an estimate of how much will be taken out of my check every pay. I am guessing everyone is pretty much on a biweekly pay. Does anyone get a weekly paycheck anymore? Feel free to PM if you don't want to put iit out there. Thank You!

Lost the post when the data loss occured so gonna bump it up again. Still looking at moving my son just graduated and my daughter graduates in June 13. Any info anyone has on pay rates, if there are jobs to be had, what are the best places to apply, anything at all ! Please share!

Thanks for that reply. Another question would the nursing homes or home health pay better than the hospitals or is that the most profitable option in the area? I also had a question about apartments in the area I had a list of ones I looked at online that seemed to suit our needs do you know anything about them? Or which one seems to be in the best school district, I have a couple of kids to worry about Lamplighter Apts Underwood Ave Wellington Arms Redwood Circle Beauclerc E Burgess RD The Oaks Marlane Drive Villas at Jasmine Fields W Fairfield Jasmine Creek E Nine Mile Rd Cordova Regency Bayou Blvd Arbours at Ensley Sonnyboy Lane Heritage Apts N Davis Hwy Magnolia Crossing Magnolia Crossing Circle Briarwood Condos Olive Rd

What information have you found on the salary so far? My understanding is that it is in the $22-$25 range? I make $25 now in PA on day shift hospital I would work nights in FL for the shift differential I never minded nights though.

I also am looking to relocate in the next year. I have an RN and am in PA right now. Would also love info on salary and things. I have put up several posts and not gotten a whole lot of replies so I think there are not too many nurse from the area on this site.

I am looking to relocate from were my family lives now. I would like to have a unique experience and do some good with my nursing career. I am married with 4 kids only 2 youngest would likely relocate with us. I am an ADN nurse I have 3 years experience working on a telemetry unit. I am wondering which locations would be best suited to our situation? I want to finish my bachelors and my husband would like the chance to start college courses so within reasonable distance of a college would be required also are there any locations that offer housing for employees that would be a major expense that would be nice not to have for my husband to go to school. Which locations are the safest for a family to live at I wouldn't have to want to worry about my house being broken into when I was at work or being carjacked on my way to work or something. I have heard there are gangs on the reservations and are there problems with them bothering medical staff thinking they carry drugs(pain meds/ benzos) around with them? We currently live in a fairly small city so my kids play on the street I live on and go back and forth to the neighbors houses to play without me worrying too much would that be something that would out of the question in these areas? I am a white girl so would I have a lot of problems with being an outsider ? Are there any locations that could suit my needs? Thanks for any replies or info you may have to share.

I hope you are feeling better.Getting sick and starting back to school on top of work = no fun! When I looked at the websites Magnolia Crossings and Arbours at Ensley are income restricted apartments, so they are no good. Which is funny cause they looked like one of the nicer ones based on pictures.

Anyone else have any info to share about the Pensacola area?

Thank you!:heartbeat
