    How long does it take to get used to third-shift?

    Hoozdo replied to heidster's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am a hard core nightshifter. Oh, it takes less time the younger you are, and if you are a natural "night person". I have always been a night person and have hated early mornings as long as I can...

    Family Nurse

    Hoozdo replied to Tamarah Chick's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I think there is a huge need for this. There is a HUGE translation gap in medical/non-medical communications. Then throw in HOH issues, dementia issues, two income earning families that have to be...

    Arrowhead Hospital

    Hoozdo replied to chocolateskye's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I worked there about 5 years ago and enjoyed it. I had fantastic coworkers and pay above average. The ugly - I don't know staffing ratios now, but it was 8:1 on med/surg nights and 6:1 in tele. If...

    Moving to Arizona soon

    Hoozdo replied to Manila Daisy's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The economic situation is pretty dire in the United States, including Arizona. Just FYI, there are many, many, MANY, American BSNs that don't have jobs. There are no jobs no matter what race or...

    New nurse nights are days

    Hoozdo replied to Rnshar's topic in General Nursing

    There is your answer. You love nights. I also love nights and never have been a morning person. I have given up trying to convert myself to a day schedule on my days off. It's not going to

    The word is "serendipity'.

    Hoozdo replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't think you are crazy. I think it is easier to work with a known "difficult" person than an unknown. You can count on their disposition every day. Money talks!

    Maricopa correctional nursing

    Hoozdo replied to rntim49's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have worked there pool PRN. I will say it is a VERY interesting place to work. It does not pay as well as hospital nursing. Then again, there is no Press-Gainey! Another downfall is that most of...

    Hoozdo replied to Anthonyrnbsn's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I would say an agency is low-balling you with a pay rate of 30 bucks an hour. I worked on a seasonal contract about 3 years ago in northern AZ for 37/hr with 800/mo for housing. As staff, you will...

    Valley View or Kingman Regional

    Hoozdo replied to asdf80's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That really sucks. I just saw an ICU travel position there a couple of weeks ago. That was at Kingman, not Valley View. Maybe there census is so low in the summer that they want a traveler
