    Pediatric Cardiac ICU Travel Nurse- Options?

    NurseRies replied to CardiacRN415's topic in Travel

    I went to Ohio state and then graduated from Chamberlain. If you really want to just move to charleston, then I suggest just doing that! If you want to be a travel nurse, then do that. But don't do...

    NurseRies replied to CardiacRN415's topic in Travel

    It might be a Charleston thing. I don't like to generalize... But they have bumper stickers and newspaper articles about it. I don't think it's in my head, haha. They didn't hate "me", just my

    Quik travel told me that they pay on week one. The tax advantage I think is fine as long as your hourly rate is somewhere above $20. If you're hourly rate is super low like $15, then when you work...

    NurseRies replied to NurseRies's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Sounds good. Yeah almost all the recruiters I've talked to have been right on top of anything I have asked. I do prefer the smaller companies, the only down side is that they have limited...

    NurseRies replied to godbless-yute's topic in Travel

    NedRN: I am surprised to hear you say that about Texas! I'm not a floor nurse, so I guess it's different, but my experience there was pretty good. Have you ever worked there or can you elaborate on...

    Move to Texas! No state taxes on your income, cheaper cost of living, I think the patients and employees there are pretty amazing. I worked in San Antonio for only 3 months at 4 different...

    I failed anatomy in my first quarter of college at Ohio state. Because of it, I never was let Into their nursing program and had to transfer. I think it would depend on your school. After the F, I got...

    Outpatient Renal Care RN Responsibilities

    NurseRies replied to nicholaa2's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Good luck! It's not so bad if you know which patients to watch. I always am keeping a right eye on certain patients who tend to suddenly pass out or cramp up. The main thing for me is checking target...

    Outpatient Renal Care RN Responsibilities

    NurseRies replied to nicholaa2's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Well, most dialysis positions are 11-14 hour days. I very rarely see 8 hour days. But anyways, a typical day if you are the opening nurse would be to arrive between 4:30 and 5:30 am depending on your...
