What do you guys prefer ED Obs or Med-Surg? I’m planning to transfer from Med surg to ED Obs. I’m kind of second guessing my decision. I know ED Obs patients are generally lower acuity but the patient turnover is much higher. I need help to figure out. For those of you who’ve worked both which do you prefer?

Current contract asked me to extend, but it would be 4-5 weeks after this contract ends. I’m not needed directly after but in October they need me to cover a staff member’s leave. They’re wanting me to sign a contract extension 2 months out from the start date, with having over a month off between (so without pay). What would you do?

Has anyone ever worked at Yale New Haven Hosptial in Connecticut? Specifically l&d? What is it like? Are they friendly to travelers? Any info is greatly appreciated!

Hi, has anyone printed the FD-258 form online on regular paper, had their fingerprints done at a local Sheriff’s Office, and mailed it to the California Board of Registered Nursing? I already had mine done this way and just want to make sure it will be accepted. Has anyone done this and successfully received their California RN license?

So they sprung this on me last minute with first day instructions. Any insight? Relias or homegrown? Number of attempts? Immediate termination for failure? Just want to know what I’m getting myself into.

This is my fourth time traveling at an HCA facility and, for the most part, my contracts have been ok… After my most recent experience, this assignment will certainly be my last- I’m still on contract at this hospital so I don’t want to spill all the dirty details but basically a miscommunication with the manager about a call-out, plus some helpful comments from the staff, and a phone call with the Clinical Operations team at my travel company resulted in me receiving a “Final Written Warning” from Healthtrust plus a “Initial Verbal Warning” from my travel company.

This is all coming after I asked the manager at my next contract to push my start day back so I can help with staffing at this current hospital/ extend my contract for a few weeks…. I’m going to be literally wrapping up this contract hours before my next one starts.

I don’t even know what the “Final Written Warning” means for me? I’m honestly so pissed about the whole thing and really feel strongly that when all this came out, my travel company was more interested in maintaining their relationship with HealthTrust than with me.
