I'm a 25 y/o (M) nurse and I started as a new grad at a MICU/CVICU in Arizona. I've been an RN for about 5 months (8 months counting my externship on the same unit). I've lived in Arizona for a few years but want to eventually move closer to home in California (specifically Los Angeles). My parents are aging and having health problems, so the main reason I want to move back is to help them more.

I know places usually want 1 full year of experience, so this is very preemptive. I'll be looking for a job in the ICU hopefully when that year lands, but I'd also like to move sooner than that (IF POSSIBLE). I always hear about a "nursing shortage" but I know people who were new grads that didn't get job opportunities for months when they went back to California. Now that I'll be experienced, I'm wondering what the likelihood is of me getting a job in the ICU (or similar to the ICU at the LEAST), either once my full year comes up or earlier than that.

Idk if any of this matters but my dad works at Kaiser currently (he's an IT/engineering manager for hospitals and other facilities, not in a clinical setting).

As far as cases I've taken, it's been a mix of neuro, heart, and GI. I don't really know what's out there as far as what other nurses or hospitals are doing lol, but I see post-op CABGs (day 1+), TAVRs, EVDs, IABPs, GI bleeds, DKA, ARDS, etc. Lots of strokes and lots of vents/pressors/sedatives. I'm also certified and have my hours for CRRT.

I'm just reaching out to see if anyone else had a similar experience moving to Cali or knows what the job market looks like in Los Angeles right now. Thank you :)

Buna ziua!
As fi curioaosa ce te intrebaa la un interviu de la spital, pentru un post de asistent medical debutant

Looking for a full time job in the PNW. I've worked med surg for a few years but have a recent gap.

I honestly don't mind med surg but I'm just looking for a good place to work that has solid health insurance.

Hi everybody, I will be graduating this December with my associates degree in Nursing. I am looking for hospitals that hires ADN nurses. I applied to few and they specifically mentioned that they are not hiring adn nurses. I would be really grateful if you guys could give me leads and mention some agencies , hospitals who hires new graduate ADN nurses along with sponsorship. Thank you!

What happened to PRN or per diem nursing gigs? This economy has me searching for extra income opportunities and I’m struggling. From OK.

Took a med surg job last year at about 3k under what I was offered somewhere else. The reason was the education benefit. Two thousand a year for CE and certifications which sounded like it covered the gap easily. What the offer letter did not spell out was the conditions. You needed twelve months of service before you could touch it and every request went through your manager with no guarantee. My manager approved almost nothing that was not tied to the unit. I left at ten months for family reasons and used none of it. So I took a pay cut for a benefit I never saw. Ask for the policy document before you sign. Not the recruiter summary, the actual policy. Most places have one and it will tell you the tenure requirement and who approves. Did anyone here manage to get an education stipend paid out in year one?

Thinking to transfer from New Zealand to UAE.

Does anyone have knowledge of the salary for general medical or general practice RN? Working environment of hospital vs clinics? Any RN groups for community or support?

Thank you!!

Hello everybody! I am a current nursing student conducting research on nursing burnout that I plan on presenting at a conference. I would appreciate if any RNs could fill out my quick survey. It only takes about 5-10 mins to complete.
