Re: Registered Nurses working in Omaha

Are you living in Omaha now? If so, do you have an RN job currently, because if so, during the pandemic probably about half of the RNs in the area were lured from one of the 3 major hospital systems to another for more pay and they can give you info on atleast two of the three.
