Waste of time unless you want to be a tourist. You’ll barely break even with cost of living and cost of goods there.

No offense but if you think a PICC line company will hire you out of college you are sadly mistaken. Get your experience. I’d recommend ER or ICU

---

Be careful with contract PICC lines. Lot of long term care with people who it’s either very difficult to place, very prone to infection, or just pull them out due to dementia. Not fun to deal with and the liability.

hold off on the NP route. That field is flooded with no jobs anywhere

Hold off yeah, but dont avoid considering it altogether. The travel surge will dry and you can already see rumblings of it.

The no jobs thing, i see this sometimes. And Maybe this is true in the deep south (where they typically pay non-travel RNs/NPs like shite anyway.) I had a friend who moved for work after she graduated. (Idk if she had to or not) But if its true down here Its really not so true elsewhere.

Especially states that have granted NPs full practice rights. And especially if you specialize in psych/acute care/cardiology/etc which are separated from the current 'diploma mill' family nurse practitioner problem. For example New England states are desperate for NPs.

Then you have the fact that Nursing including NP is female dominated, and we all know that women check out of the work force all the time for reasons that generally dont/wont apply to most men.

Not sure when OP graduates but he should go back to school esp if the travel surge has dried up by then. Work in the ICU for a bit and go CRNA and make absolute bank. (I will warn anyone interested however the call absolutely blows) Go Psych NP and work inpatient and leave at noon or earlier almost every day depending how fast + motivated you are.

All good options, especially for a male nurse.

you do realize that the mandates were not put in place by hospital admins? It was a federal mandate for any facility that accepted medicaid or medicare patients. Which if you have an ED, you have to accept due to Emtala laws...

---

Was not a Congressional Law. Was an Executive Order which only applies to Federal Employees.

Should have refused to comply and sued in court for any fees owed. Tyrants order those under them to perform even if it costs them their lives and health which is exactly what is happening as it is found out the vaccine may be even dangerous than the virus!

Every worker who has since gotten sick with covid or had any adverse reaction whatsoever should be suing the azz off their employer.

How much school ya got left? I would consider acute dialysis along with your other options. I left icu for dialysis in Lafayette area 10 years ago and haven’t looked back. Let me know if you questions or interest. UnclejackTD @ Gmail

You don’t go to HI for the money. You go for the experience. If you want to make money stick to CA or NY.

Like all good things it’s been ruined with time.
Can’t even run yourself a few mg’s of dilaudid anymore or they will say your “diverting”. bullshite if you ask me.

If you don’t go CRNA route, I’ve always preferred procedure areas such as cardiac cath lab. Quick pace and always changing. Requires call but can make good money and can do travel assignments as well. Also can open doors to device sales if your smart and build relationships.

No advice but the medical field has a crap ton of routes that you can go
