    spankssnowbunny replied to stepaukob's topic in Travel

    I think that is normal. I've been on my current assignment for four weeks now and while I have mastered the computer so far, I'm still asking where to find certain things and phone numbers for certain...

  3. Help! Need advice concerning Jackson Memorial in Miami and pay-rate!

    spankssnowbunny replied to Tennesseeliving's topic in Travel

    Mommy2Bobby, Not sure what the going rates are for new grads in Miami anymore but OR usually pays higher than Med/Surg as it is considered a "speciality" area. Both Jackson Memorial and UM are GREAT...
