Hello! My hospital is looking into wireless headphones or sound amplifiers for patient use, in order to allow our heard of hearing patients to watch television without the whole floor hearing the TV. I'm wondering if any of you use sound amplifiers in the work place. I have some questions and would love your help or recommendations! 1) What type of amplifier/headphone do you use? (Brand name or description of product, etc) 2) Are you able to effectively clean it between patient use? (We are looking to buy a couple of them for the floor and use them as needed for patients. We need to be able to clean them without ruining them.) 3) How well do they work? Are there any issues or things you wish they would include? Thank you very much for your responses! I'm having a hard time finding the perfect product! I appreciate any and all input! -Amanda

Hello all! I am an RN and have worked at my current position for a little over 2 years now. I'm currently a Med/Surg RN/Charge Nurse at a Critical Access Hospital. Love the job, but I really want to explore travel nursing. Doing online research has helped me out a bit as far as general topics are concerned (i.e. pay, benefits,travel reimbursements), but I really need some advice from those of you who have done or are doing this. I have some questions, and any answers you could give me would be so greatly appreciated! -Are there any agencies that target to more rural hospitals/urgent care clinics? (Ideally, I would like to work in smaller cities and hospitals) -How frequently do you find yourself not getting the destinations you've requested? -What is the housing situation like that the agency provides you with? -When you arrive at a new job, how does the staff respond to you being there? Are they helpful and kind, or are you sort of seen as an outcast? Obviously I have many more questions, but these are the ones I could think of at this time. Most importantly, I think, is hearing feedback on the agencies themselves so I know what I am getting myself into by applying to them. There are so many out there, I just don't know where to start! Thanks so much! Best of luck to you all! -Amanda
