Hello all. I'm currently a travel nurse with 8 years of ICU experience. Lately I've started to get tired of the travel gig and I think I'd like to settle down. My last assignment was close to San...
Dude... relax. It sounds like you're doing fine. The fact that you're so worried (as has been said before) is a great indication that you're a conscious and caring nurse. That's a great start. Start...
Well, that's my problem. There's not a lot of information. The scales are from $32/hr all the way up to 111K/year. I need to know where I will fall within that range, since that's a pretty big range....
Hello all, I originally posted this in the California board but didn't get any replies, so I figured I'd appeal to a wider audience. I'm currently a travel nurse with 8 years of ICU experience. Lately...

Once you've been there for a bit and have gotten to know the nurses, I'd mention that you were in nursing school. Lots of nurses will take a little extra time to teach you something or show you cool...
I always wear scrubs. If you don't want to, at least wear something comfortable. Read your book. Be able to pass the self exam and be confident in your ability to differentiate

I agree with what everyone else is saying... it sounds a bit fishy to me. I understand that in some parts of the US, jobs for new grads are very hard to come by. I suppose that something like this...
That's going to depend where in MO you are. Since you're referring to it as the south, I'm going to assume that you're in the southern part of the state. My first job was in Springfield (8 years ago)...
Nobody has any input? I've been searching all over but have yet to find anywhere that seems to have accurate pay estimates for nurses. I'm trying to compare a few different California cities.... Any...
If I were you I would email the California BON with your specific questions. They're pretty backed up right now, so expect the reply to take a bit of time. In the mean time, you may try to get...
You did great. You treated the BP, caught it when it went too low, notified the MD, corrected it and continued to monitor. Excellent. Most importantly, when you were feeling unsure, you sought the...
Hello, I'm a traveler in SoCal right now. (Inland empire) I've been talking to HRN about picking up per diem shifts at other hospitals. I was surprised at their rates. Even taking into account the...
Hello, I just signed paperwork to start my assignment in SoCal (Hemet, CA). I'm taking the housing stipend so I need to find my own place. I've looked on AirBnB and VRBO, but nothing good is showing...
