    Acute nurses covering multiple hospitals, what is the radius you must travel?

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

    11 hospitals, only get mileage if you go from one hospital to another. Hospitals are within a 45 mile radius from two furthest points. 1 hour call to door time, which is reasonable if I can be out the...

    Indiana University Nursing vs Davita Management of Nursing

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

    I would like to add that a friend of mine works in one of the ICUs at John Hopkins and she said they use Davita services. So I guess their standards may have changed and gone to "cheaper" services....

    That is great! I am doing $1300/wk if you count housing stipend in there. What company are you with? I know some RNs making $19/hr plus only $1200/month stipend. Terrible. These agencies can be...

    Favorite cities/locations you've traveled?

    Texas

    NurseRies replied to Travel_Lusting's topic in Travel

    Haha well, I'm in Colorado! Don't know if you were joking.. But I guess that's why they don't want us travelers to talk to one another. Maybe they should have thought about that before they sent 4...
