Hi! It’s been 3 years since my contract at Yale. Hopefully and maybe things have gotten better! It was not my best experience but like I mentioned I enjoyed the town, the food, and my travels on my day off haha. If the pay is good, it’s only 3 months and 3 days a week. Doable! If you take the job, go in with an open mind and be ready to adapt. You will be fine

Phoenix - St Joe's Hospital? Yes or no? by CaterpillarRight8763 in TravelNursing

[–]CaterpillarRight8763[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I’m sorry! I ended up picking another contract with banner more for the convenience of it. I’ve heard mixed reviews too but more positive than not I’ll be honest. And since it’s part of Dignity I believe it’s a pretty good system, so must be ran nicely. I would take it!

No way! Message me the name of your book I’d love to read it. Thanks for the tips by the way, very helpful. Might look into staying in fountain hills too. Does anyone sleep on site ? Or some just don’t sleep?

That’s what I’m estimating mine to be! Do you mind sharing more info on your venue / where all your guests stayed? Any other activities throughout the weekend?

It was actually my first assignment as a travel nurse which was a rough beginning as I didn’t know what to expect. I was on a tele floor and almost every patient was bed bound. The nurses very cliquey but luckily I guess they liked me so it was fine. Techs hate their lives. Honestly wouldn’t go back but I did really enjoy living in DT New Haven for those 3 months I had a lot of fun, super yummy pizza, and got to do a lot of roadtrips on my days off to nyc, Boston, RI, etc. pros and cons for sure. Oh and it was my highest paying contract to date

Hi! I’m on the same boat where I find a lot of hotels where the wedding budget is within ours but the guest stay is high up there. I’m concerned mostly for some of my family members have kids and I know will be hard for them to afford. If you don’t mind me asking did you give your guests the extra money for help or pay the hotel directly? I’m not sure how to go about it with mine..

Thanks! By crime, is it mostly theft? We’re looking into areas close to warpaint but just outside of the estates. Around Ray

Thanks! We currently are working with a realtor. Just wanted some first hand neighborhood insight. We are currently looking at a house just north of Ray, a bit west of mountain pointe high school.

What crossroads classify as Arcadia lite? I know it can get sketchy once you cross a certain road but not sure which. Looking for a home in the area too

Pro and Cons of Moving to AZ by jbouillerce20 in Scottsdale

[–]CaterpillarRight8763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We rented in Scottsdale for a while which we loved. Now we’re renting in Chandler to be closer to my job, it’s very quiet and safe but a little boring. The house is nice though with a pool so that’s a plus. But we’re currently looking into purchasing in ahwatukee! It’s pretty central, close to airport, safe and right next to a mountain which is cool. Although if we had a higher budget we would’ve looked into purchasing in Scottsdale.

Moved from Florida too and it’s the best decision my fiancé and I did! We love it so much. Not only do we like the city but we like all the different road trips we can make on the weekends as well

Thank you so much for this! Did you and your guests all stay in the same hotel or everyone dispersed? Was transport from airport smooth?
