Was reading somewhere that North Dakota was offering US$8000 a week, and with overtime some nurses were making $10,000 US a week!!!

Is this legit? But these are only 4 week contracts, presumably to fill an urgent temporary need, right?

[jon-nyc]

Yes absolutely.

I know someone doing this. Not in Montana. Big bucks especially now with Covid and bigger bucks in a PCU or ICU. Exhausting and lonely and watching old people die right in front of you is quite wearing. The velocity of death is higher than normal.

This is from years ago, when things were "good." She gave up.

George - when I was on that page I got a fucking pop-up video ad.

SO glad we left that board.

One of the nurses i used to work with did a locums stint in an Alaskan hospital - surgery work. The town was Bethel, Alaska.

The town was accessible only by air and water. Every auto in the town had to be ferried in. Everybody knew everybody (and not in the best way, I might add).

Salary was great. Housing (such as it was) was provided. This was her home.

Lots of time off, and the hospital paid for airfare to the lower 48.

Oh, she lives in Florida now.

The home is typical for the Far North. If not for the wife, I'd have done it.

Lots of money in those things. That's why I did it.
