RNWhit07- I applied online and they called me back that day. If you would rather talk to them in person you can contact my recruiter -------------------------. She's been wonderful so far. Or you can just apply online - they will definitely contact you. Yes - they handled the licensure for me. I didn't have to do anything - they took care of the credentialing, licensure, housing, etc. Every time I've talked with them they've been very eager to help me out, which was a nice change!!! They're based in Georgia so maybe it has something to do with the southern hospitality!?! I don't know - I'm from Maryland so the overly friendliness/helpfulness freaked me out at first. You should actually call the 800 number just to hear the receptionist - she sounds like Mary Poppins! Seriously. It's very surreal. I call the 800 number instead of --------'s direct line just to talk with her. I keep waiting for her to start singing "just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down..." Good luck! Maybe we're run into each other at a Soliant get together :)

bagladyrn is right - the only conference coming up is in Las Vegas. It is expensive to go there but so worth it! You can also find cheap tickets on Kayak.com. I've used it several times. I've read that Tuesday afternoons around lunchtime are the best time to price shop for airline tickets.

Smiggers - it will get easier! Hang in there!! I've been an OR nurse for over 8 years and I almost quit in my first year. I would go home crying every day I worked and I would dread going into work. It was so overwhelming and intense. I thought I was doing everything wrong. Luckily, one of the nurses on my shift took me under her wing and helped me out. She gave me the confidence i needed to just focus on the job and not the people in the department. Good luck!!

Congrats, ChocoholicNurse!! I'm in FL too and I love it. I grew up in MD so I'm not a big fan of the cold! You will find plenty of CVOR jobs in FL. Good luck!

Hi - I've been a travel nurse for over 8 years now and I love it. I've never worked with RN Network but I have worked with Cross Country. They are a decent travel company but really large! I've taken my last two travel nurse assigments with Soliant Health and they've been great so far...they're a little smaller and feel more family-oriented. You can search their current travel nursing jobs at http://www.soliant.com/nursing/travel-nursing-jobs/ if you want to see if they have anything you want. Good luck! You will absolutely love travel nursing.
