Help! I am trapped in Pennsylvania due to a 7 week turnaround for licensure verification. Any recruiters out there have any ideas for me? (Or any good assignments in PA?) I do L&D and M/S. I applied for an Ohio license in August, still waiting on verification from PA. I applied for a California license in September, still waiting on license verification from PA......Help me!

I have had a lot of luck in PA with the Board of Nursing. I went as high as talking to the Govenor's office to get someone in the board to take me seriously. I had 4 ER nurses get a temp license in less than a week. They told me over the phone that it would take 4-6 weeks to get a temp. Use the word emergency and tell them that the hospital may have to close a unit if you can't get your license on time. Hope this helps. You just have to be very convincing that this is a serious matter.

Hello, we have plenty of assignments for you in three different cities through OHIO. Lima, Cincinnati, and Columbus. We might also be able to do something in PA. We have three hospitals there that we staff. Currently I have open positions for OR and PEDS but not MS. That could change or we could send your profile to them to see what their needs are. We definitely have many many positions, over 93, in CA just for MEd Surg. If you would like information on any assignments or our company please contact,
