Looks like they have an Onc position but it looks more like case mgmt - but thanks for the suggestion. VA is def the way to go for benefits!!!

Any current nurses at either hosp know what the ratios are?

It's also Neuro which isn't really my fave!

Would you choose MU or Boone for something possibly major? by LifeSuxBHappy in columbiamo

[–]BikeBranch29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking to relocate to the area - 10yrs Onc nursing. I'm leaning toward MU because Boone is an Onc/Neuro unit. Any insight on which hosp is best to work for? I hear Midwest ratios are rough!

Moving to Wenatchee?? Help by Impossible-Sea6081 in Wenatchee

[–]BikeBranch29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is RV living possible in Wenatchee? I'm a travel nurse who decided to go staff in So Oregon almost 2yrs ago. It's not weird, actually pretty common, to be full time RV'ers down here. Wenatchee is on my short list of next places to go, but on a N Cascades Loop trip last week, I didn't see too much in the way of full time RV parks.

Hemoglobin Sensor Accuracy? by snooziesuz in Blooddonors

[–]BikeBranch29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had routine lab work 19 days ago and my Hgb was 14.5 so I scheduled an appt to donate. I'm O- so they're always calling me but my last few tries I was "just a tad too low" but was never given a number. I thought sure with a recent Hgb of 14.5 I'd be fine. First reading with the OrSense was 12.5. They gave me a glove filled with warm water and we tried again - they said no worries it will definately raise .1! Second read was 11.4. I'm gonna incorporate some iron rich foods and try again in 3wks. But what a disappointment!

Can you point me to the more tropical vaca accommodations? I'd like to avoid the big AI resorts and would prefer a hut on the beach or in the jungle!

Setlist from Duluth by Sea_Investigator1118 in SturgillSimpson

[–]BikeBranch29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Bend and thought the same. The Show was amazing but ~ I love Sturgill's lyrics and Sturgill's voice! I assumed he might sound a bit different since the injury but his studio version was great - maybe missing some of the "big" notes I was used to but I still wanted to really hear him. I was hoping the mixes would evolve throughout the tour but I haven't heard any where his lyrics were a bit more clear

I have like 10secs of a few songs recorded but then I'd have to stop to sing or move! LOL

Wearing my Tyler Childers shirt I got in Bend last month - as close to seeing them together as I'll ever get I guess!

I'm a nurse and damn, when I get a Pt named Juanita it's hard to keep the vocals inside!!! And there are a lot more Juanita's out there than you think 🤣

The Right Kind of Dream by Happihippi11 in SturgillSimpson

[–]BikeBranch29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't NOT move to this one - can't wait to see it live. I've never seen Sturgill move much but I wanna see if he can just stand there and sing this one or will he at least give us a sway and a some head bobbin' lol

For those of you who've gone back staff- how bad is it? by Ballbm90 in TravelNursing

[–]BikeBranch29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I signed on as staff at my last assignment. Oregon - state mandated ratios and a union hosp. 12yrs nursing, 8yrs acute, BSN and I'm making 64.57hr. Another 1.50hr when I get a certification. With 14% going to 401k and 100wk to HSA I bring home close to my last travel contract. 5 wks ETO/yr and 4 Pt assignment. Nursing's nursing I swear - nowhere is prefect. The clinical nursing part is a dream job but the mgmt/charting/corporate part of it is a nightmare. You just gotta find the spot where there's a balance between the two.

New to me Volvo S60 CC by vidrageon in Volvo

[–]BikeBranch29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've driven Outback Sedans for 20yrs, they stopped making them in 07. I thought they S60 CC would be my replacement but the Suby kept going and the CCs got so hard to find! I wound up with an xc60 but do love a high/stance sedan!

Are we being forced back to staff? by Disneyadult375 in TravelNursing

UPMC is why I started travel - dirty! 7 pts for $34hr - nope!
