I would advise that you research the hospitals as well as you can.  Check the nursing forums, ask qu




Seattle was my favorite because I could walk everywhere ie Pikes Place Market, the Space Needle and my apartment was across the road from the Puget Sound.  I loved being able to walk to the local coffee shop and sit and watch the boats on the sound.
This was one of my favorite hospitals because of driving distance to Crater Lake, Lake Tahoe.  It was in the mountains and I love being in the outdoors in such a beautiful area.  The people at work treated me wonderful.  It was 12 hour shifts and the scheduling allowed for a lot of long weekends.  The staff was always bringing in food for the night shift so we always had plenty to eat.
Shortest : 3 weeks; Oakland Kaiser Hospital  (This is the only contract that I have ever walked out on.  The staff treated me horribly.  They refused to answer hollywood hotels questions or help in any way, shape or form and I felt it was unsafe for me and the patients.)
Share why you started Travel Nursing : One of my critical care instructors in nursing school would share stories hollywood hotels about her 4 years of travel nursing and I was intrigued.  After graduating and obtaining 4 years of experience, I was having issues in my personal life and was ready to find a new city and fresh start.
I was working in Phoenix and a healthy looking hollywood hotels 37 y/o woman arrived on my floor about 2am.  When I was asking her initial questions, she replied that the reason she was at the hospital was because her feathers hurt  When I questioned her further, she stated that well, you know I m a 100-year-old owl .  As I contemplated this, I decided to just go with it.
When I went to draw labs, she wouldn t let me because owl s dont have veins  I explained that if she didn t have veins, then I couldn t give her anymore Ativan (which she was receiving for anxiety).  She suddenly decided that the lab draw was ok
The biggest mistake I made was working in Reno.  Reno was dangerous with 8-10 patient to each nurse, no CNA and hand-writing all the MAR s each night.  I felt that it was dangerous for the patients and stressed over my license every day that I went to work.
I would advise that you research the hospitals as well as you can.  Check the nursing forums, ask questions and if you feel it s unsafe after accepting the contract .leave. hollywood hotels  Realize that hospital hollywood hotels managers will lie to you.
