Holiday spirit?

Hello again...I got my assignment in Bakersfield CA...Unfortunately the hospital could not start me until a week later than I wanted. But, what a great company World Health is so far, they are going to get me into my housing on the 3rd and I don't start working for them until the 10th. We also are getting free cable and dsl. Sounds pretty nice so far. A far cry from the treatment I received from RN Network. I'll keep you informed once I get out there. But, I also signed up with an agency that does both travel and per diem called Access Nurses. I will be working for them the first week that I get to CA and then if I get called off at my travel contract I can pick up time with them. Also when this contract is done I'll have more options to choose from. And it's always good to have an option.
Now on to my Phoenix story. I was in the grocery store and walking to a line to check out. I entered the line and a woman in a motorized grocery cart rolls by and says "Nice holiday spirit, jumping in front of me." Wow, I said to myself, she has some nice holiday spirit herself. I told her I didn't know she was headed into the line and she could go ahead of me. "No," she said, "I'll find another line." as she rolled away. Wow I said to myself again...so, she just wanted to spout off at me. Very nice. Do you think she was having a bad day or what? Maybe she is lonely and saw me with my husband and my neice and felt badly because she is all alone and it's almost Christmas. So, how would you have responded? Do you have any holiday stories?Hopefully nicer than my little encounter. Anyway have a nice Christmas and a great New Year.

Off again

Hello all, we are enjoying sunny Arizona and feeling sorry for those in the frozen north and east. Hello to all my friends in Cleveland and Providence Rhode Island...two places I am glad not to be in the winter. I highly recommend Arizona for the winter for you travelers out there. The Banner hospital system has been awesome to work for. I have been on the tele unit and I haven't had to float at all except within the unit. I am on to Bakersfield California and on to a new travel company....World Health. The hospital is opening an new tele unit so it should be interesting. I did get my 12 hr days!!
As for my current travel company RN Network I have even less good to say about my current experience than before. Our apartment complex informed us that we are scheduled to move out 12/27. My contract ends 1/2...oops they did it again. RN Network even sent them a notice to vacate for us for the 27th...now they don't know what to do. We offered to leave early to make it easy on them, of course they will be compensating us. But it was another error on their part, not to mention all the incorrect checks I have had in the last weeks. All in all the hospital is great but the company RN Network has not been. I will let you all know how the next one works out.
Hopefully I will be setting up some pictures on my blog pretty soon. We will be leaving here and going through Lake Havasu to see the London Bridge then through Laughlin and on to Vegas for New Years Eve!! Hope you all have a happy and fun holiday season!!
