LOL. I think we can characterize this one as an epic fail. Poor judgment!

Can't you do some postgraduate work and obtain that credential?

Can I have Sierra Mist and a tray!

That's a typical reply for someone who is in DENIAL not to mention poor logic. The logic, "because it's good for me it should be good for everyone." Go away from my thread.

That is a giant multifloored, multidisciplinary morass of liability IMO. Be damn happy you're out of there and celebrate. Again, I am delighted not to have continued working there. I've never felt my license was in jeopardy until I worked for that co...

Yeah. The whole system went to hell in a handbasket. I'm just avoiding the whole mess. It's just a poor system to work for IMO. When Mercy came in and took over things went downhill rapidly and I doubt they'll survive long term.

Yeah and St Mary's is four years worse now too.

The reader will have to make their own decisions on what this might be referring to. According to the forum rules I can't name specific entities. I just want to say in regards to title of the thread. JUST SAY NO! Do yourself a favor and consider othe...

St Mary's. Nice place to work. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha It should be named the sisters of Satan

You must be tripping. I've worked at the black hole in Sebring po dunk Florida and I wouldn't do it again. There's a nasty nursing supervisor there named RoXXXX who will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat. Rest of the place is like that as well. ...

It's mostly like working in a doctors office. Lots of blood draws, physicials, med passes for subtances that they don't want on the compound, routine health screenings, sick call for minor complaints. Pretty routine stuff. It's also very litiginous a...

Why stop telling the truth. The educational model stinks. Doesn't 1/10th what it needs to in order to prepare you. Half the instructors are nimrods or worse yet bullies. Then there were the people who dropped off. They just didn't work hard enough ex...

I started answering that question by saying, "We are slam full right now with people in the waiting room" while I had my feet propped on the desk drinking my 15th cup of coffee and playing Yahtzee.

Good point you made here. Check with other companies. They'll start bidding when they know you're informed and ready to negotiate a contract. Never trust a recruiter. They work for the company and it's their job to make as much money as possible fo...

Thanks for the sarcasm. I'll keep it even more succinct this time STINK :angryfire

How about, THEY STINK!!!!!! I've had the worst headaches dealing with this company over the last 26 weeks. It's everything with these folks. :angryfire :angryfire I'll skip the long speech. I do have justification for what I am saying and again folk...

Based on my experience, I would avoid Intelistaf

I graduated high school with a 1.7 GPA. I graduated from nursing school (after switching from engineering) with a 3.77. I think desire and interest will take you a long ways in anything.

the fact that agency nurses are given the least desirable assignments seems acceptable to me... for one, they are getting paid much much more then staff, and two, they are NOT staff, they are agency, there to pick the times when it is convenient to w...

I don't know who I am going to use but I know who I won't. Intelistaf is who I won't use

I signed on with a hospital for a 13 week travel contract. I have spent all of my time since October being a house float. I spent one shift in the SICU which is the unit I interviewed for and was supposed to work in. I am sooooo sick of going into th...

Love the work and the patients. :balloons: Hate the administrators and the bullies. :angryfire I wouldn't do it again if I could do it all over.

It goes beyond that they have enough staff. This was a deliberate move by the critical care section of this particular facility to go to a closed unit system (except if you're a traveler) and shuffle core unit staff around to cover their needs in the...

Agreed. I want to make sure that other travelers aren't sucked into a mess like this. Funny, I told the recruiter not to bother me again unless she had a unit of assignment and a percentage of the time I would be spending on that particular unit IN T...

Nah, I just thought I'd whine a little here and meekly go back into the job and do what I's told like a good boy. OF COURSE I DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire Sorry I am just ticked off. I blasted off an e-mail on...
