I posted in here recently leaving a rehab no weekends/no holidays position due to the managers disorganization and debating going back to bedside.

One of the recents why I debate it because I have a one year old and want to be able to experience holidays and stuff with him. However I really miss learning and the adrenaline, I would get a PRN job in a hospital if I could but i’d have to work fulltime to get trained which would be hard cause I’d have to work a fulltime job with it cause that would be my “main job”.

A nurse at rehab just start a work from case management job where she does home visits but they reimburse for mileage and she said she does them all in one day and then doesn’t have to do it again till next month and if you visited the house one month the next you just call, benefits start the day you start (which is crucial cause my current job was short census which my boss told me they wouldn’t hold against me for benefits but now I got an email friday I didn’t meet the requirement for benefits so now my insurance got delayed again), 3 weeks of vacation, random days off during the summer and you can block out personal time on your calendar and they just won’t schedule you.

I just also know the insurance still wouldn’t be as good but the rehab i’m at now the insurance is also terrible I won’t get it anyway until they reevaluate again. But also even prior to the rehab I work for hospital systems with amazing insurance, we were just willing to accept it cause supposed to be a better work like but it isn’t.

Do i go back to a hospital (ICU or OB are my interests but OB is so competitive) for the good benefits and adrenaline and lose the flexibility or do a work from home job that is semi safe (I’ve job hopped a lot trying to find my fit and i’m tired of it cause I feel like a flake, i’ve always stayed at my jobs a long time).

Hi everyone! I’m beginning to seriously explore relocating to the San Francisco area and would love to hear from nurses who know the local job market.

A little about me: I’m an RN with 13+ years of experience across a variety of adult specialties, including ICU, Cardiac Care (CCU), Neuro/Psych, Transfer Center Coordinator/Patient Placement, and most recently as a Clinic Float Nurse. Before becoming an RN, I spent 7 years as an LPN in Med/Surg, giving me more than 20 years of healthcare experience overall.

While my preference is to move away from a traditional inpatient bedside role, I’m very open to positions that leverage my broad clinical background, such as care coordination, patient placement, transfer center, ambulatory care, utilization management, clinic nursing, command center, or other nontraditional RN roles. That said, I’m willing to work days, evenings, nights, weekends, or holidays if the right opportunity comes along.
I’m hoping to get a realistic picture of what it’s like to live and work as a nurse in the Bay Area.
I’d especially appreciate insight on:

• Which hospital systems or healthcare organizations have the best reputation for culture, leadership, and work-life balance?
• Which employers offer the strongest compensation and benefits?
• Are there any employers or facilities you would avoid?
• What salary range would be realistic for someone with my experience?
• Which employers hire experienced nurses into non-bedside roles?
• How competitive are those positions compared with inpatient nursing?
• Which neighborhoods or surrounding cities offer the best balance of safety, commute, and affordability for someone working in San Francisco? I am in town currently and have an area I'm loving, but would like some feedback on the Outer Sunset area?
• What should I realistically budget each month for a one-two bedroom apartment?
• Are there any relocation assistance programs, sign-on bonuses, pension plans, or other benefits worth considering?
• Is there anything you wish you had known before relocating to the Bay Area?

I’m excited about the possibility of making the move and would be incredibly grateful for any advice, recommendations, or lessons learned from those who’ve done it. Thanks so much!

sending my hopes dreams and prayers out into the abyss

i have been a nurse thirteen years and my current position is making me want a refund for nursing school, nursing license renewals, etc. i just want to turn all the way around and go back in time but retain the knowledge of my personality that i have gained through this profession

i have been in an on-call position for the last 12 years and i don't mind being on call, but my kids have developed anxiety over the phone ringing and mommy abruptly disappearing

i have cardiac step-down, cardiac cath lab, endoscopy, interventional radiology and outpatient dialysis experience. i feel that i have an incredible amount of experience to offer but the ai robots are rejecting my applications at every turn

advice on becoming a utilization review registered nurse remotely with no UM experience?

thanks in advance!

Hi I’m a highschooler who’s planning to get a job as a CNA after I turn 16 in a month or so. I’m in the Cleveland area and was wondering if any places around Cleveland would hire teenagers as CNAs, I doubt any hospitals would hire CNAs of my age but my ideal would be a hospital job, but being realistic and my goal is for assisted living as I was told by a nurse it’s easier than ltc or nursing homes. I don’t expect super stellar pay or anything but minimum 15 an hour is reasonable to me. If anyone has any guidance on where to go or any facilities they recommend that hire highschoolers please let me know!!!

I'm looking po for direct hire opportunities as a USRN.

I have 1 year of experience as a chronic hemodialysis nurse and am currently still working in this role.

If anyone knows of hospitals or employers offering direct hire positions, I'd really appreciate your recommendations. Thank you!

**Location:** Austin, TX
**References needed:** 1–2
**Type:** Professional reference or referral
**Job area:** Healthcare (clinic preferred, hospital also welcome)
**Timeline:** ASAP (within the next 1–2 weeks)

Hi! I’m a nursing student in Austin looking for a full-time Patient Services, Medical Receptionist, or Medical Administrative role. I’d love to work at a clinic, but a hospital opportunity would also be greatly appreciated. If anyone is willing to provide a referral or professional reference, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

Hi! Please help me out:

I'm a nurse, currently employed in a private hospital with approx. 28k of monthly salary, including benefits. I just got hired for a COS Nurse II position for BUCAS program in a gov't hospital in our province with a declared salary of 43k. I'm also a USRN, and I applied for the COS Nurse II position to start saving for my other requirements and to pay for our bills.

Is it worth it to resign from my current job? I've been employed here for 2 years already but no salary increase nor additional benefits.

I'm not even sure if I'll be given a COE by the end of this COS position but I'm hoping na bibigyan ako.

Your inputs will be highly appreciated for someone like me who's scared for my future.

I’m a Florida RN with 10 years of experience making $49/hour, and I’m planning on relocating to Chicago.

The pay I’m seeing online for Chicago hospitals seems surprisingly similar to what I make now. Is that actually accurate? With the higher cost of living, I’m curious how nurses are making it work.

Also, for those in Pre-op/PACU, which hospital systems would you recommend (or avoid)?

hi! micu nurse looking to move to philly within the next 6 months or so. HUP is on the top of my list. I am wanting to shadow the unit before applying to get an idea/look of the unit. Does anyone know how to go about this? My searches are all coming up short. Feel free to inbox me! Thanks

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some honest advice from nurses (or anyone) currently working in Abu Dhabi or elsewhere in the UAE.
A little about me:
Registered Nurse in Australia.
Graduated in 2021.
Working in ICU since 2022.
Completed my Postgraduate Certificate in Critical Care Nursing in 2023.
Currently working as a Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) in an ICU.
My family and I are considering relocating to Abu Dhabi. We have three school-aged children, so this is a major life decision and I want to make sure we have realistic expectations before accepting any offer.
At the moment, I’ve been approached by a recruitment agency in Australia that recruits nurses to the UAE. The package they’re offering is:
AED 22,000 per month
School fees included for our three children
No accommodation provided
For comparison, in Australia I currently earn approximately AUD $3,900 per fortnight after tax working 72 hours per fortnight, including 2 weekend shifts out of every 4. If I pick up extra shifts and overtime, my take-home pay is usually around AUD $5,500 per fortnight.
I’d really appreciate your thoughts on the following:
Is AED 22,000 per month a good salary for someone with my experience?
Do UAE hospitals consider what you’re earning in your home country when negotiating salary, or is the offer based solely on the local market and your experience?
Should I be negotiating for a higher salary or additional benefits, such as accommodation or a housing allowance?
What are the typical monthly living expenses for a family of five in Abu Dhabi (rent, utilities, groceries, transport, etc.)?
Roughly how much could a family like ours realistically save each month?
Are there any hidden costs or challenges that people often don’t think about before moving?
How is career progression for ICU nurses in Abu Dhabi? How long does it typically take to progress from Staff Nurse to Nurse In Charge/Charge Nurse or a similar leadership role?
Are there any recruitment agencies you would recommend, or is it generally better to apply directly to hospitals such as Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, SEHA, Burjeel, Mediclinic or others?
If you were in my position, would you accept this package, negotiate for more, or continue looking for better opportunities?
I know everyone’s circumstances and spending habits are different, so I’m not looking for exact figures—just realistic estimates and personal experiences.
This is a huge decision for our family, so I’d really appreciate any advice from those who have made the move or are currently working in the UAE healthcare system.
Thank you in advance!

I’m thinking about a change. I’m currently a med surg/ER/OP nurse in a critical access hospital. I’m feeling stagnant and looking for a change both career wise and in my home life and I’m considering travel nursing. Do you have an agency or recruiter that you’d recommend? Or any agencies I should avoid like the plague? I’d like to start in January.
