  1. Per diem in Cali

    guest769224 replied to baker1bv's topic in California Nursing

    That's a great post. But I was thinking, if a per diem is cancelled, how about just picking up a shift on a unit that has a need, instead? There's always an open shift somewhere. I work ICU and ER. Id...

    guest769224 replied to baker1bv's topic in California Nursing

  3. Moving to Henderson, NV

    guest769224 replied to Hellothere27's topic in Nevada Nursing

    That doesn't exist here, to my knowledge. I would apply in Jan. or Feb., and once you have a job offer, request relocation assistance. And actually, if you are moving to Henderson, the nearby...

  4. Moving to Henderson, NV

    guest769224 replied to Hellothere27's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Yes, some Las Vegas hospitals will also allow FT hours on a per diem rate of pay. It is quite the luxury. Some will not allow it, or cancel you before you exceed 40 hours in a week. It is more likely...

  5. Per diem in Cali

    guest769224 replied to baker1bv's topic in California Nursing

    That is a good point, but I have seen some CA RN's here mention that per union contract, per diem's cannot be cancelled. I don't know that for sure, but that is the type of union or hospital I would...

  6. Moving to Henderson, NV

    guest769224 replied to Hellothere27's topic in Nevada Nursing

    The market for experienced nurses in the specialties you listed is hot. I recommend Sunrise Hospital or Dignity Health. Summerlin hospital is very nice as well, although it will pay a bit less than...

    guest769224 replied to baker1bv's topic in California Nursing

  18. Who gets the write up?

    guest769224 replied to kosmopolitan's topic in MICU, SICU

    So many things gone wrong in this situation. Levophed maximum dose in a peripheral IV? Really? That's got to be nearly 90 ml/hr infusing, a super high dose. The correct thing to do would have been to...

  19. Full time vs Part time vs Per Diem

    guest769224 replied to KerenAvneryRN's topic in General Nursing

    I relate to much of your concerns. However, I work two per diem jobs. That allows me to make sure I get all of my hours on a regular basis. Between the 2 jobs, there is always a need somewhere. Even...

  23. Anyone know any non-traditional RN jobs in Las Vegas?

    guest769224 replied to SoCal student's topic in General Nursing

  24. Inter Amer Arecibo

    guest769224 replied to luna0608's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My mistake. I spoke to a graduate of a PR anesthesia program and they had told me that receiving approval to work in the main states was more of a hassle than it would be if graduating from a mainland...

  25. Inter Amer Arecibo

    guest769224 replied to luna0608's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    To my understanding it's because their clinical experiences are bare bones and some of the curriculum isn't up to par. Also they have very little exposure with nerve blocks which causes an issue in...
