Hi travelers, I am a med/surg nurse for 15 yrs. I'm in the process of finding my first travel assignment is oakland,Ca and was wondering if you could help to choose a good hospital. A seasoned traveler told me to stay away from ALTA-BATES and the sister hospitals SUMMIT. The agency is offering $35 and no other bonus or stipen. I was told that some of the nurses are place in apartment 45-60 mins away from the hosp. how many times are you floated in one shift? I was told that you can get floated every 4 hours. any other help would be greatly apprecated. :zzzzz:roll
