  8. can one do travel nursing and a per diem shift?

    I tried the one shift per month and it was not easy for me. I had to ensure that my manager could have accommodate my time off to include my days to travel back and forth. Once I got home, I didn't feel like going to work because I wanted to spend t...

    GinRN777, can you elaborate on the programs being "fluff"? I'm interested in the MSN diabetes specialization and I know that will be rigorous also. All the best.

    Actually I did speak to an admissions counselor and their students get a 10% discount if they are a member of ANA. They have some interesting MSN specializations.

    Is anyone here completing their Informatics degree at American Sentinel University?
  12. Dealing with crappy tech/assistant performance

    I would pull the person aside and speak to them about their job performance. If there's no improvement, then I will follow the chain of command. At the end of the day it will be the nurse's ( ) which will be grass and everyone else will be the law...

  20. Los Angeles travel assignment...

    There is no need to be rude. For your info I traveled between 2006-2009. Things has changed a lot. This is a forum for nurses to help each other out and be resourceful. You are very rude and I never stated that your box was full. If I want to ask som...
  21. ERGypsyRN, it helps but I decided to leave Bailey at home. I work dialysis where the hours can be unpredictable as my husband will be back and forth. He is a ShihTzu and weighs 10 pounds and very very dependent on me. I can leave him for ten minutes ...

  23. ERGypsyRN, Can you give me some tips on exactly you had to endure while providing your own housing with two dogs please? Thank you.
  24. Any other dialysis travelers?

    NurseRies, do you only work with acutes? I work with chronics but I want to learn acutes also so that I can be flexible. I want to go to Cali next but if I like it I'll do two tours here. So far the city seems good. Everything is maybe ten minutes or...
  25. Any other dialysis travelers?

    Yes, this helps because when I travelled between 2006-2009, if you we're quoted $35/ hr you got that and your housing was provided. Tax advantage can be confusing and I do not want to get burned by the IRS.
