I had a very complex case in a pediatric CVICU. Grandmother let everyone know she was a nurse and was very intrusive (videotaping, giving advice, demanding odd things, attempting to sneak visitors in after hours, etc). Grandfather stated he was a tax...

Gagging just reading about this... the guy drinking the sputum. Ick.

I watched in horror as my gastroschisis NICU patient projectile vomited into her dads mouth! He then proceeded to dry heave in the sink... poor guy couldn't throw it back up.

I have only ever worked for Baycare mobile Pool and enjoyed working in their 3 NICUs. Don't know of anywhere else that has a similar setup.

BluePipes blog also has a generic evaluation form

VeroRN is a company that staffs for travel assignments in Guam. My recruiter is ****** ****** I am looking to travel there later this year. A friend has been there for years now in the NICU. She loves it. Housing is provided. She does recommend renti...

My husband received his BSN and then served in the Navy for a decade. He recommends getting a degree first. It affords you more opportunities. You will be able to enter as an officer which is also a step up. ROTC might be another alternative. They d...

I don't think it would hurt to go part time if you have the option. Remaining employed looks good on the resume and you can support your way through school. If acute care clinicals get in the way of work you can always change it up at that time.

My husband just took a job at a pediatric hospital in PA as a an acute care PNP making approximately $90000 per year. I don't remember the exact figure as he initially worked in another department as an RN while waiting for credentialing to come thro...

I will be moving to Philadelphia within the next few months. Hubby just accepted a position as a PICU NP at CHOP. Any thoughts on level 3 NICUs in the area? I would like to work per diem in the city. I will very likely pick up a job on the side whet...

I ended up taking a travel assignment at HUP. So far I enjoy the unit and the staff so much that I extended my contract. I only wish they had per diem positions. I'm still trying to decide whether to go staff in the area, keep searching for a per di...

I did an assignment in Boston last year because a friend wanted to travel together and your contract quote sounds about right. The East coast generally pays lower than the West. Made half of what I normally make as a traveler in California.

8 years... I picked up an additional per diem job at a nearby hospital after 4 years. Worked NICU in both hospitals.

I worked with Aya in MA for a Boston assignment. Did not have a good experience with the company. Loved Boston. I have worked with Rise Medical Staffing (mainly west coast assignment availability), Fastaff and Medical Solutions over the years. Have e...

CMPC in San Francisco, CA - Will get sick kids. I never floated. Scheduling is a a little chaotic for everyone. (Medical Solutions) CHOC in Orange, CA - Floated frequently to PICU and CVICU but enjoyed working there. Traveler friendly hospital. Self ...

As of February 2015 CHOC has no set scrub policy. No t-shirts and no hoodies are the only limitations.

What is the uniform policy at Children's Hospital of Orange County? I will be working in the NICU. Thanks.

Thanks. I work nights on the east coast and thought I'd reach out to fellow nurses on the west coast to see if anyone currently employed had insight. The attire policy I received only addressed professional appearing dress. I'll be calling the human ...

Kaiser Roseville with Fastaff for NICU nurses is paying $55 an hour. This is the base hourly rate. Per diem (housing & meals and incidentals) is in addition to the hourly rate but lower than medical solutions. I am currently working here. Sutter ...

Did you end up taking the L&D position at Kaiser in Roseville? I am leaning towards a 13 week assignment in the NICU.

I went from full time to per diem after working full time for two years. I worked another 3 years as per diem. I recently picked up an additional casual per diem position that only required 2 shifts a month. Now that I am traveling the casual per die...

Our school required a review course. It was worth it to me. Everyone in our class that took the Hurst review course passed the NCLEX on their first try.

I work in the NICU at All Children's Hospital in St Pete and we have numerous NNPs here.

Pay isn't great in the Tamps/St. Petersburg area for new grads. All Children's Hospital is the lowest paying hospital starting at $20.12/h and only $1.50 weekend differential. Tampa General just upped their pay by $3 or $4 an hour, however I don't kn...
