  4. OR Nursing Career

    HollywoodDiva replied to Hargrove86's topic in Operating Room

  5. Setting Up an Operating Room

    HollywoodDiva replied to msmylanan's topic in Operating Room

  13. Foot in door?

    HollywoodDiva replied to KatieBug713's topic in Operating Room

    For Danny C, sign up with your local registry to smooth you back into OR, a day or two. Travel assignments are always an easy way to get back in if you've been out of the Main OR for

    HollywoodDiva replied to Lilme04's topic in Gastroenterology

    HollywoodDiva replied to lisaleone1985's topic in Travel

    Definitely Northern California pays well but cost of living is higher. Central California is not that bad either but then again that would depend on your specialty. I'm an OR nurse and I have no...
