  1. "Work 20+ hours in your shifts or resign"

    rjbaileyrn replied to MBRN4's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Welcome to Air Medical Transport. Who are you working for, Miami Children's? Air Medical (Flight nurses and Medics) obviously isn't for everyone. If you are that unhappy, I suggest you just give two...

    rjbaileyrn replied to GilaRRT's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Hi, I passed the CEN two weeks ago, the CFRN 3 days ago, and am doing the FP-C next Thursday. I had let the certifications expire about a year ago, because I didn't think I was going to fly again. I...

  4. RN to Paramedic Bridge Course

    rjbaileyrn replied to ironjohn929's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Well said brother, having been a Paramedic for 17 years as well as an RN for 12 of those years, I kinda took offense at that first remark myself. RJ Bailey RN CEN

    rjbaileyrn replied to shanzah's topic in Travel

    I have done 4 assignments with Fastaff and will be doing another in a couple weeks. Nothing but great reviews for them as far as I'm concerned. Money is $36-40 per hour. Have NEVER shared housing, or...

  6. >>Registered Nurse or Dental Hygienist?<<

    rjbaileyrn replied to ILuvMyKittyKat&Gerbs's topic in Nursing Career

    No offense, but I don't even see any comparison between the two. I couldn't imagine a worse job than the dental thing, although , of course, it's a necessary one. The opportunities in Nursing are...

  7. Vanderbilt Interview

    rjbaileyrn replied to nursehottie's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    I worked at Vanderbilt, and it is the most phenomenal place to work. They instill a feeling of pride in yourself and your work like nowhere else. I felt a foot taller just walking onto the campus. Go...

  10. Which has a highest pay and Free housing FASTAFF, OA or TRUSTAFF

    rjbaileyrn replied to ORnurse97's topic in Travel

    I've done three assignments with Fastaff, have made lots of money, and have NEVER had shared housing, nor have I EVER worked a strike. Lots of Fastaff travelers make well over 100K per year in regular...

  11. Hard to get hired?

    rjbaileyrn replied to Kitty-MayRN's topic in Men in Nursing

    No disrespect meant, but are you out of your mind, haha? Why would it be any harder. It's about what you know, what you have done, what you can do, not about whether you are male or female. As a "male...

  12. Sierra Vista or Tucson???

    rjbaileyrn replied to military spouse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I did an RN travel assignment in the ER at UMC. I think it is a great place to work and am thinking of going back. Ratio in ER can be anywhere from 1:1 to 4:1, depending on what zone you are in....

  15. Fastaff

    rjbaileyrn replied to Mantibob's topic in Travel

    This was a regular travel assignment, not a strike. I have yet to meet ANY travelers from other companies who have made $37/hr with their companies. Nobody beats Fastaff for their pay rate that I have...
