Currently an ER nurse at a county hospital, just wondering does anybody know the average pay for a Per-Diem RN in San Diego? I recently applied and had an interview with Scripps La Jolla Urgent Care and I was offered the job. But when the HR lady told me I will be payed $32.50/hr as a casual/per-diem, i was pretty stunned. Here in San Bernardino or OC area, I believe for per-diem is at least $35 and up. I totally was expecting for the same. I just had another interview with Sharp's Urgent Care, but I'm still waiting for the call back. If the base pay for per-diem is still the same, then I'm screwed!! I really want to move down to San Diego, but if the pay is like that, I don't think I will be able (since I'm also helping out with my parents due to the bad econ situation...) Does anyone know what is the average Per-Diem pay for San Diego??? Thanks!!

Aw, thanks a lot!!! I will look for that book and browse around it before I purchase it!! Thank you!!! btw your attachment won't open!

I'm a 3rd semester student and actually doing pretty well in class. I've been passing my careplans so far, but my instructor is telling me that I need to put more "umph" factor in my careplan by putting more pathophy in it, and is encouraging me to take a PathoPhys class [if I can, specific for nurses] during the summer. She feels that I won't be able to handle 4th semester if I don't get this whole pathophys in my head. I always get nervous when she comes around my unit and starts asking me pathophys questions out of the blue during report... and I end up giving her blank stares. I feel so stupid sometimes. Bleh. :trout: So I've been searching around my area, and I can't find any!!! Is there any good Pathophys book or sites or ONLINE classes that would help me to understand? Please help. I need to pass this program. I've already failed once, so HELP!:uhoh21:
