2. Aya health care/travel agency

   IndigoCarmine replied to crb613's topic in Travel

   Ummm..."per diem travel job" means just that. A per diem position, not a full-time one. Moving cross country for a oer diem job seems sort of crazy...nothing personal, but I don't understand what you...

5. How is the job market for Registered Nurses in NY?

   IndigoCarmine replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in New York Nursing

   Thanks for that! All the other pieces I read were vague. Administration, clinic jobs and hiring freezes were the focus. No mention of nurses (not that all those cuts wouldn't affect nurses anyway,...

8. AWHONN Advanced FHM class vs. Online post test?

   IndigoCarmine posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   I've found myself in an annoying pickle over the last couple of years: I work at one of the few NYC L&D units that don't require AWHONN's Advanced FHM course. I hate working there and need to move...

    The problem is if healthcare workers are mandated by the state for flu vaccines, it sets the stage for the swine-flu vaccine to be required as well. A rush-job if ever there was one. Not a lot of...
