Hey! I was looking at VVMC seasonal employment. I work ER, am single and flexible. Has anyone worked seasonal or work for VVMC currently? How was the hospital, the housing, and the pay? Also, how long is the seasonal employment? Any input apprec...

I recently accepted a full time nights position (ICU) at a Centura Hospital. I'm from out of state as well. I interviewed with both Centura and exempla and thought both of their interview processes flowed quite nicely. I think I waited a week...mayb...

Anybody here going to Colorado soon? I'm starting a contract in Greeley 9/17 in the ER. I'm 28/f and this is my third travel contract. I think I'm officially addicted :)

hey wellsjc, I am an ER nurse as well..just checking to see how your assignment and working conditions are at the hospital in St Thomas. I am hoping to look at an assignment there in 2013. Also, how do you like PNS? Thanks!

Hi JW! It won't let me send you a PM, I think bc you don't have enough posts?? I'm still not that great with navigating this website. I'd love to chat with you though, so feel free to email me if you'd like... [email protected]. otherwise, o...

Thanks for the advice! I have had my company set up housing for my first assignments, but may try this to see if I can save some money!

I am looking to head to Cali sometime in September. I am hoping for something on the coast...either near LA/SD...or SF. I am 28/f...specialty is ER.

Sorry, I don't have any advice for you...but I am looking for the same information. Glad you posted these questions!

I have never worked in California or Hawaii, although I am hoping to in the next year! I was nervous to take my first assignment, but am so glad I did! I had about 4 years total nursing experience before I started, but only had about 2 in my special...

I just got my florida license...thanks for posting this!

I am 28/f also looking at traveling to Cali...probabaly not until about mid september however. I have my license already...its good you started early, because mine took about 3 months to come through! I have done two travel assignements, and am cur...

I just finished a travel assignment a couple hours east of Asheville, however while I was there had the opportunity to visit the area a couple of times. It's gorgeous and there is a lot to do. I highly recommend visiting the Biltmore estate and goi...

I started out cardiac in my first nursing job, and the tele and critical care experience I got from doing that was invaluable when I cross trained to ER and ICU...I am full time ER now. I think an internship is awesome, and either experience will be...

I worked in Minneapolis for the past 4 years before taking off for my first travel assignment in January. Most of the hospitals in Mpls are union and don't see a ton of turnover, but I think like anywhere it can be hit and miss. I worked with a sta...

Can you get hired directly into a specialty, or does everyone start M/S? I have 3 years ER experience and would feel pretty uncomfortable trying to go back to floor nursing. The money and travel experience sound amazing! Do you find other travelers...

My recruiter is wanting to submit me for a position there in the ER to start in April. How is your experience so far? What unit are you in? and how long is your contract for? I'm travelling alone, and this will be my second assignment...she said th...

Thanks for all of the advice everyone. I had a similar situation too, and decided to go with a different company that didn't try to tell me that a low hourly wage and "tax free" stacked pay was the only way to go. I try to up my hourly wage as much a...

I'd also be interested to find out what conditions are like these days. I have heard similar stories, and was told by one of my recruiters that I would need "thick skin" to work down there...paradise sounds great, but not if I'm going to dread going ...

I saw them first I think around August or so... They had quite a few ER and OR/PACU positions it seems. By the time I actually decided to take the plunge and apply however in November there were really no positions left. I'm sure they fill quickly ...

I'm also an ER nurse...27 y/o...finishing up my first assignment the end of March and trying to figure out where to go next! Looking at Cali hopefully this fall (just started working on the license and I hear it can take a while), but possibly somewh...
