My travel contract at LRH was for 13 weeks, and I would not have stayed a day longer if they increased my pay to $80/hour. I consider myself flexible and hard-working, but this place is dangerous. Apart from the absence of any kind of work ethic in the staff, the assignments are unsafe and there is not enough staff (unit clerks and techs) to provide quality patient care. To make my point, the hospital has paid out 4 million dollars in the last 2 weeks in liability law suits. They have evidently had major budget issues the past several years, and every bit of it shows. My advice to you would be "run as far as you can in the other direction."

Going through TruStaff. This is my first assignment with them, and everything has been on target so far. Right now, I am just waiting on an interview, but there are several positions available... I hear Renown is a fairly traveler-friendly place? I had also read that southwest of town was nice? I don't mind driving to work, but sure would love to save the money if I could walk and not get mugged. Have you traveled or do you live in Reno?

Taking a travel assignment in Reno... most likely going to be working ICU at Renown. Does anyone have information about housing (whereto's, wherenot's)? I've never stepped foot in Reno and would love to have some idea of safe and unsafe... Also, I love to ski. I'm assuming it's a big deal out there? Any info would be helpful -- housing, what to do, anything... Thanks!
