For the 2 I've been to, I can say they were great with travelers. Bayfront Med Ctr/ All Children's/ Morton plant Mease countryside

I'm on assignment at Bayfront Baby Place right now and it's been an ok place so far. Also my first travel assignment was at Mease countryside in safety harbor and they were ok also. I've never traveled through the Baycare mobile pool but I've not he...

I just completed a travel assignment at Mills Peninsula hospital in Burlingame CA, on LD unit. They are Sutter and the first time I've work for that organization. I THOROUGHLY enjoyed my assignment! The staff was awesome, pts were great, docs great.....

I'm in LD at Mill Peninsula in Millbrae/ Burlingame area. Great hospital, great staff, fun environment. San Francisco right next door (like 20 mins)... Lots of travelers extend here and stay as staff. I've been to Bakersfield Memorial in Bakersfield ...

Hi, thanks for replying. I actually did an assignment there on the LD unit and it was cool, staff is nice, location sucks big time - very, very dry and dusty -was glad to get outta there, but people were nice. Memorial was busy while I was there but ...

Flex Care staffing has some stuff. My recruiter there is Alicia. FlexCare Travel Nursing - Home.

Hi, Are you at Valley Medical Center? I did an assignment there on LD in 2009. It is still my favorite assignment to date!! I stayed there 9mos, I loved Renton!

Thank you so much for your reply Chrystal. I'll be going to Bakersfield Memorial.

I just did that last month, drive from FL to North Cali, just made a road trip out of it with hubby. Great drive across country. I ALWAYS drive because you never know how an assignment is going to go. Secondly, parking in NYC can be costly and scarce...

Did you end up going to Bakersfield? I'm considering a travel assignment there for LD. How was the area/ hospital, etc? Bakersfield memorial is where I'm considering. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

Hi, I'm considering a travel assignment there as well in LD and would love to find out how it is there too. Hopefully someone will reply. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

Yes Mursinary.

Congrats on returning to the road!! I also just came back to travel nursing from a 3yr hiatus. I'm in Cali on assignment and I'm clearing $1300+ weekly. I'm with AMN on this assignment but will go with Fastaff for my next one. They are known to pay ...

I've traveled to both coasts and live in FL. Florida is beautiful but the pay sucks as both staff and traveler. But it is the prettiest state I've been to thus far. I like NY for the pay, the city hospitals disappointed me because for all the innovat...

I worked there through Fastaff back in 2010 in LD. I liked it and hope to go again now that I'm back on the travel circuit! They housed me in Yonkers at a really nice apt on the Hudson River.

Considering an assignment on Labor & Delivery unit at Kaiser Permanente in Oakland CA. Anyone ever worked there? How was it? Appreciate your input! :-))

Hi All Nurses!! :flwrhrts: I am once again seeking advice/ direction/ info... I am currently on assignment here in Renton,WA, working on L&D at Valley Medical Center. GREAT ASSIGNMENT!! I've been here since November of 2008 and have renewed 3...

Hi, While I was in nursing school I knew that I wanted to work L&D ONLY (and 12hr Nights on top of that) after I graduated. I lived in Ft Lauderdale, FL and when Jackson Memorial Hospital (Miami, FL) came to recruit senior nursing students for h...

LOL!! Yes birth plans can be excruciating for the Labor Nurse and everyone else involved. The approach that I take is I sit with the patient and spouse/ Significant other, etc and I read over the birth plan with them. Even if someone else has don...

In all of the facilities that I've worked in the placenta and cord are first examined/assessed by the OB and then sent to pathology. Fetal autopsies are optional and left to the parents decision as to whether or not they would like one performed. A...

Hi Keri, How is the assignment for USVI going? What hosp and dept are you nursing in? I'm an L&D nurse and I've also entertained the idea of doing an assignment there. Did you go alone or with spouse/ sig oth, etc.? What agency got you the as...

Hi GradRN, If you go to the National Council for State Boards of Nursing website (it is a GREAT reference for nurses https://www.ncsbn.org ), you can find a link on the left side of the page for Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) https://www.ncsbn.org/n...

Hi LilyRose - I am by no means a negative person and I tend to find a silver lining in even the worst situations, but NYRH tested my "stick-to-it-tiveness" from day one. It seems like each shift I had to talk myself into NOT walking off the assignme...

I just completed an assignment on L&D at NY Roosevelt Hosp..... I couldn't get out of there fast enough!! Started counting down my contract days after my FIRST shift.... I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOSPITAL FOR L&D ASSIGNMENT!!!!

Hi Bedpan! :) Thanks for your well wishes. This is my first time on the West Coast, but not my first travel nursing assignment. It's actually my 4th. My first was at Morton Plant Mease Countryside Hospital in Safety Harbor, FL. LOVED IT!! I get ...
