amenesty

Well, I am with AMN and the prospects of working as a traveller in Mobile look look bad. So, I'm gonna' start looking into my options, like staff positions or local registries. Which hospitals in the area do open-heart surgeries? I love this pt population and I am an ICU RN through and through. Also, do any of you know if there are local nursing per diem/temp agencies in town? This forum is great.....thank you all so much for any help.

Thanks for the replies! I am feeling a little like a fish out of water here as I am moving to Mobile from Seattle and have otherwise lived in California for most of my life. My BF has accepted a residency at USA in psychiatry (he is originally from NOLA & wants to return to the South), so I am giving it a go. I can imagine that I will take a pay cut, but I am excited about the change and could use some warm weather!:onbch:

So, I am going to Mobile, Alabama this summer as a traveller and was wondering if anyone else has worked as a travel RN in Mobile? What is the pay like in that city? Best hospitals to work in? I am an ICU RN with 5 years experience, including CT surgery pts. Any info would be helpful. Thanks!! :typing
