It really depends on the assignment. MEDCENs can be grueling places to work, with 55-60 hour work weeks and a ton of extra duties (think Walter Reed). For the money, you would probably do better...
Hello, I cannot help you with ACU's but I am at OBLC right now. You will have a shared room with light daily maid service with weekly bed linen changes. You could bring some linens if you get cold....
The JP reminds me of my last day at my last job. I had 3 ICU patients for three consecutive nights, and was handing one off to an experienced, orienting ICU nurse. She asked me if I took a daily...
