Quality ICUs to work at in the Bay Area

Hello,

It is looking like I will be having to move to the bay area from Portland, OR in the next year or so to help take care of declining parents. I have a year of ED experience that I still work per diem in as well as 2 years in m/s ICU. I know that jobs are dreadfully scarce in SF and certainly will apply to every ICU/ED job I can, but was hoping to get the opinion of some people who could tell me where to steer to. I do not really care what the specialty is, since I cannot be picky in this economy. Thank you in advance to anyone willing to share!!

    I don't know much about the bay area but I am looking to move to Portland, OR sometime in the future (next year or so). What are some quality ICUs in Portland.

    I strongly advise against OHSU, they throw unsafe patient assignments and have unhelpful charges, had a horrible experience there. Providence St. Vincent is great, Portland Adventist, Kaiser Sunnyside and Legacy Good Sam are the other places I would try for. Good luck!!

    I recently graduated from Portland and am from the bay area so you're in luck! I recommend Kasier Walnut Creek ICU. I've heard they are hiring ICU nurses, but only with experience due to the cost of training new grads in this economy. So, with your prior experience, this may work out for you. Also, UCSF is a big teaching hospital down there and I have a nursing school buddy who got a job down there and loves it (med/surg neuro). John Muir in Concord also has an ICU and a helipad. Another big hospital in the bay area-ish would be Stanford.
