Working in Ca, living in another state

[friendlykeano]

Hi all,

So i've been offered a dream staff position in an ICU at UCSF but my family can't move yet. I am considering flying in for my three shifts and then flying home. Is anyone else doing this currently or previously and do you have any advice?

Thank you
