Does any one know the payrates for working as a nurse for EICU? I am considering it, but did not know what it paid. Thanks!

I have a question. I have been hired at the VA as a nurse 2 step 1. I swear that the RN recuiter told me that they only go up steps every 2 years. Is that right? That sounds a little slow to me, considering there are 12 steps in a Nurse 2. I cannot i...

Also does anyone know how much SIUE's program total cost is for the 3 years? Thanks!!

I have an interview with the VA next week and wanted more info on the nursing levels. I have been an ICU RN for 7 years (8 years in May) and have my BSN. I also wanted to know where I would find the salary ranges for the different levels in St.louis....

Hello everyone. I interviewed and was offered the position nurse 2 step 1. The salary they quoted is my is pretty good as well, considering St.louis area hospitals pay very crappy unless you do weekend option. My next question is: 1) How long and wha...

Well I have been working the EICU now for 2 months since I started this thread and I really do enjoy it. I am currently part time but work more than that because I like it. I will be going full time in October simply because they will pay me more tha...

Hello. My first choice is always OA, since they do all inclusive housing, cable, flight, rental car, etc and they pay the best (besides fastaff). Bur sometimes they do not have where I want to go. I like National, but they don't always have what I wa...

I DO think that hospitals need to give nurses more value and better compensation. But I do not think that is ever going to happen, which is why I have been travel nursing for the last 6 years. And no has said that an EICU takes the place of a real nu...

That is not even how they work. They monitor way too many patients to call about petty PVC's or stuff like that. I had one in Miami and I loved it. They only look into the rooms once a shift, so they are not calling you about turning your patients or...

I am a black ICU nurse and there are few places I have traveled to where there are more than 3 of us it seems. And yes they seem to think I am a CNA or something other than a RN. LOL. It is kinda of sad really.I have never worked in Memphis but I fri...

Hi. I worked at Scripps Mercy last may and it was 34/hr BUT that was a rapid response position. It is going to depend on what you need for you to get an accurate rate. I spoke w/ HSN about going to Scripps Green and it was $21/hr w/ $2200 housing sti...

I travel with On Assignment mainly, but my next assignment is with Trustaff since I wanted to take 1 assignment in my tax home state of MO each year to help off set my taxes.

You need to look at the date on the orginal post, it was April 2005. I am sure Jaycrue has heard of AMN by now and has ran the other direction, as this post is has been going on for almost a year. Plus by asking questions here jaycrue HAS been doing ...

Try PPR and Clinical One. Cross Country has some M/S Skilled nursing facility openings on there website. The one PPR has that is a LTC is in Honolulu which would be awesome. Good luck

On assignment, World Health, Trustaff, Advantage RN, Nursextra; there are quite a few that do.

Did I say ALL county facilities?? Nooooo, I am specifically talking about USC LA county hospital, which she was working for OA there, because I almost went there and they don't do phone screenings, at least last year they didn't. Plus I have a friend...

My friend worked in the ICU there last spring and hated it. The nurse manager was a jerk and had this "I can schedule you whenever I want" attitude, even though her contract said every other weekend. As a rule of thumb, I never go anywhere that doesn...

I think they mean the prison riots that have been going on

Everytime I travel from home I fly to the assignment and get the rental car with On assignment. My car is 6 years old and paid off. Traveling from coast to coast I would have to buy a new one, and I like not having a car payment. When I work with in ...

I had to switch recuiters at On Assignment because my 1st one was a jerk. If your recuiter is out of the ohio office, ask to speak with a woman named Mandy. I told her either they get me a new recuiter or I quit. My friend Mindy had to do they same t...

On Assignment Healthcare staffing

Well I am going to be going back to San Diego in November and I would like input on some good facilities. I worked at Scripps Mercy last time and I was very unimpressed. I did float to Scripps Green in LaJolla and that was really nice, but I would li...

So don't tell them. I went to work in ICU right out of nursing school, got a sign on bonus, then started traveling the next year. If they after you a sign on bonus, make sure it is for only one year. Some hospitals now will give like a $10,000 sign o...

I think if you do get an interview, explain your situation just as babynursla suggests BEFORE the 2nd submits you. I have read all my contracts and you are not bond to them unless you accept and work the contract for them at the facility. The only th...

Someone posted some info about Emerald on here before and if I remember right it wasn't very good. LOL. I worked a contract with RN Network and I liked them. I got better money from my current company so I didn't go back with them, but I haven't hear...
