    Spiderella replied to Lunalitsa's topic in Travel

    Spiderella replied to Liz520's topic in Travel

    Spiderella replied to kbbw2007's topic in Travel

    Since you are already strong with Neuro, I would suggest broadening your experience into the med surg ICU to give you a well rounded background. There are Neuro travel ICU jobs but MICU or CCU jobs...
