Hello, im thinking about taking an assignment in north carolina for 13 weesk, i am a full time nurse from georgia that wants to venture out and start something new.my only fear is that after this assignment i will not have anything to go back to once it is over. Would i be able to return to my fu ll time job, should i would i be able to take a leave or go prn. Im traveling with kids 7 and 9 the assignsment starts in july and up to october. The job will be from 8-5 in an ambulatory care center. They want to put me up in an extended stay. Housing stipend 350/ week and 37 hour every weekend off. Any advice. The kids want to leave and try another school. I thought about finding out if an extension would be possible until after christmas. Thinking about takeing housing stipend and finding an corporate 2 bedroom apartment. Would love some input. Especially ideas for child care. While they are out on summer break. What could i do for child care while im working since i will not get off until 5p.

Yaa I know about Biloxi Regional, i was born at that hospital, Yaa the gulf coast is pretty, they fixed up a whole lot after the storm also

Oh, thats great! Good luck, if I can ever help let me know! I have used Fastaff, American Mobile, and On Assignment.

And, yeah I am so glad to hear it's getting better down there. I had a deposit and application at the Windjammer Condos before the storm, and after, housing was scarce, and really $$$$! There is no better place on earth, I even love the smell!! Weekends in New Orleans, and Cajun's Chicken!!!!

Have they rebuilt Cajun's Chicken?, That's where we ate the night we got married. Lol, I was still in Nursing School, and broke, lol! We did 2 days at MS Gulf Coast, and 4 days in NOLA. The coast was our cheap get away!

There was nothing like paying $20 per night at the "Sand Dollar Inn," which I'm sure is gone now, and sunning on that white sand. Oh memories!!!

Hi, you mentioned that apartments were better than the hotels. Will the agency help you find apartments with short term leases?
