  1. Travel in San Francisco

    EmergencyNrse replied to NurseGemini's topic in Travel

    There is no "right" answer to your question. Pay/Wage all depends on how your company sets up/structures your contract. 36, 40, 48 hours/week? You should be getting higher pay for more hours you...

  2. San Diego, CA questions---going out in June

    EmergencyNrse replied to vanurse2002's topic in Travel

    Cali is a walk-thru state. You have to travel to Sacramento but I got mine in less than 3 hours. If your transcripts are in the Nursys database then all you need is to release transcripts, get the...

  3. San Diego, CA questions---going out in June

    EmergencyNrse replied to vanurse2002's topic in Travel

    La Mirage is nice enough and they have security. Perhaps what I meant to say is that maybe Portofino has a more of a professional feel to the complex. The community is gated, has security and is pet...

  4. Verbal Contract Cancelation Fee with American Mobile?

    EmergencyNrse replied to RNtn23's topic in Travel

    Another black eye for American Mobile. They keep screwing their travelers and they won't have anyone left to work for them. I will not, not ever, recommend ANYONE go work for AMN given their current...

    EmergencyNrse replied to b_m_prosepct's topic in General Nursing

  9. Can I handle transport nursing?

    EmergencyNrse replied to msgRN01's topic in General Nursing

    If you have motion sickness sorry, this is NOT the job for you. The crew compartment of an ambulance rides directly over the axle. You will feel every movement and every ride will make you ill. I...

  10. Army Combat Medic

    EmergencyNrse replied to Ash123's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, Combat Medic? That's testosterone talking. You need some career counseling. The job performed by medics are different from that of nurses. If you want to be in a field unit or combat unit then...

  11. San Fran

    EmergencyNrse replied to Creamsoda's topic in Travel

    Bay Area is where it's at!!!! San Fran is an excellent destination but I think that company is a little low. Minimum for bay area is around 32.00 w/ comps. If you get a decent assignment only take the...

  14. Which phone pda or PDA are you using in the ER

    EmergencyNrse replied to MOTOXRN2004's topic in Emergency

    Don't think you're alone. No phones or PDA's allowed. They are more concerned about abuse than practical use. Apparently it gives the patients a bad image of nurses of they use technology in their...

  17. Info on Sharp Grossman in San Diego

    I'm here in San Diego and you will enjoy any assignment here. Grossmont is over in East County. La Mesa and El Cajon is okay but if you have your own transportation Mission Valley is a better choice....

  18. Is healthcare a right or privilege?

    EmergencyNrse replied to Treat et Street's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Your off the mark... Government education system is a PRIVILEGE and can certainly be revoked. And as much as I agree that education is a good thing It is certainly not a RIGHT. Don't tell me I don't...

  19. Is healthcare a right or privilege?

  20. New Assignment Nightmare!

    EmergencyNrse replied to goodgyrl's topic in Travel

    Is this a Kaiser facility? It's a common tactic they use to Black-Ball someone after they overbook assignments. If they have overbooked your assignment they're looking to get rid of you for the...

  23. Want the flu? Come to the ER.

    EmergencyNrse replied to Guest219794's topic in Emergency

    You're right. People have become completely helpless and in some cases incapable of taking care of themselves. In their minds we have the cure for everything! A pill somewhere, somehow will fix it....

  25. Macho Men in the ED

    EmergencyNrse replied to Jerry 75's topic in Emergency

    I'm guessing from just the second of two back-to-back posts you don't get along very well with your colleagues in the ER. You certainly have a problem with EMS and male personalities in the ED.......
