Lol wow... I guess most of the answers speak for themselves. Still no right or wrong answer IMO. Sorry, I did not mean to start a ASN and BSN war on who is better then who based on Statistics. Blah... that isn't what this topic was about.

No I don't consider it because I live in the now. These are already Magnet Hospitals, please read the topic. I have been asked to work at three Magnet hospitals. Three... because it isn't 2020. Two I have declined. Even though they are Magnet does n...

Obviously you didn't read anything I typed. They are SAYING HOSPITALS DON'T HIRE ASNs right now at this moment in 2013. As a matter of fact I have been getting these comments for the past 2 years now, so... No where did I ask in the topic "what Magn...

Craigslist is your best bet. Otherwise your agency should be able to help you.

1) email me if you would like. 2) Agreed craigslist is a place to look. this is what I have done. Two of my agencies had their own housing, so I luck out sometimes just going with theirs. If they are under my terms. It has been my experience that if...

I did one assignment with them. But, they have a hard time finding what I am looking for. So I haven't had one since. But, I try them first since I didn't have any problems with them the first time.

After a floor closed at the first hospital I worked at as a new nurse, I took on Travel and Agency as NO ONE would hire me anywhere for a permanent position. I waited too long waiting for places to call me back. So I went back to the old routine. I a...

I agree. Experience is what it really comes down to. Some agencies seem to be able to submit me and some cannot. It is who they know too and work with.

Yes. Travel.

This might be a new thing. They also like to cut contracts for ridiculous reasons to wean people out. Not worth it anyhow.

Wish I would of seen this post along time ago. It just happened to me after probably my dozenth assignment. I have been very lucky to have worked at some really nice places. Most of those places I was replacement for someone who had surgery or is hav...

My first contract was cancelled when I went with another agency that had better benefits and pay. Huge mistake the hospital had some complaints from their own staff with no backup and just fired me for hear-say. So I am spending my money while lookin...

I find the smaller hospitals have much nicer staff then the bigger ones; no matter where you are on the East Coast.

I look on Craigslist in the Temporary/Sublet section in Apartments. I email the person who has the ad to tell them my situation, i.e. Travel Nurse and such, usually I have no problems. It is less expensive then staying in an extended stay. Sometimes ...

It is difficult. I did travel years before I looked and I worked agency, but it still didn't work for some hospitals. The first assignment I just took what I could get. Now I am picky.

After my husband was laid off last year and I was working agency getting cancelled all the time. There were just no permanent jobs in my area and I looked for 3 years! We packed up and left so I could do Travel Nursing. My son is 3 and it has been a ...

I liked Phoenix, AZ to me it is very laid back. I do enjoy the city. I am just not into the country lifestyle at this point in my life.

Keep going. I was out of work for 3 years as an experienced RN every facility in MA was being really picky about my Travel nursing. I finally landed a job last Fall and still going.

Nurse Managers that hire nurses state that they won't hire a New Grad BSN, but I have worked with so many New Grads there. I am not sure if they would hire a New Grad ASN, as I am probably lucky to get accepted there. But, I have lots of experience. ...

New Grad nurses that work there said they kept pushing on them. Sometimes it can take up to 6 months.

This is not true. Not sure why he did not get an interview. I have my Associates with experience and am not enrolled in a BSN program.

I started doing travel/per diem in a couple of places in NYC. I tried applying directly, but would never get a response. It also helped me figure out which place I did want to work at and which ones I didn't. I have experience with an Associates Deg...

Sorry to bump. But, written is the best way. Stinks to be me this time. The Nurse Manager left by the time I asked her. So I was stuck with numbers again. Thankfully, I have Charge Nurse numbers. And boy some of them when you don't establish some ki...

I can see things haven't changed for New Grads here in the state. I figured that since I was getting offers (I couldn't find work as an experienced RN a few years ago for the life of me here) that it would of changed and plus I heard all these New Gr...

They still have this program. Remember a name is a name. I have worked Travel in top hospitals. SOSDD, if you know what I mean. Agencies try to do this to me, with the ol' it will look great on my resume. But, you know experience will mean more than...
