2. $1302 every two weeks? =/

   revkev007 replied to RNAvatar's topic in Travel

   Run, not walk, but run away from that offer. You can do much better.

3. Diploma nurses are worthless?!

   revkev007 replied to stephdRN's topic in ADN/BSN

   I am an ADN RN and worked on an oncology floor right out of school, so that statement is untrue. A lot depends on the manager.

4. Nursing student

   Every canyon was started by a determined drop of water. Hang in there. Try other methods of study. Word association, etc. Good luck. :)

5. Too old for BSN?

   revkev007 replied to forever88's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You are kidding, right? Too old? I have an ADN which I accomplished at the ripe age of 43. I am now in a BSN program at the age of 48 (4.0 GPA). Planning on going on and getting my NP. Will be 52 yo. And your wondering if 22 is too old? Nope, darling...

8. Changing Recruiters

   revkev007 replied to thewandereRN's topic in Travel

   Just ask for a different recruitor with that company. I was lucky and got one that I jelled with from the start and have been with her for 3 yrs now. Hang in there.

9. Maine Travel

   revkev007 replied to revkev007's topic in Travel

   Looks like I'll be in Montana for a good portian of the summer. I'm crazy I know, but I wouldn't mind being there in the fall/winter as well.

10. Miserable in my contract

    revkev007 replied to MsConstrued's topic in Travel

    I agree with you. A lot depends on the attitude that the traveler has. I have always been treated like staff because I go there with the attitude of "I'm here to help you." Have I been given crappy assignments? Yes, but no more than the staff is. I'v...

13. Full timing in RV and Travel Nurse needs advice

    revkev007 replied to skiermom's topic in Travel

    Buy used. Only way to go. get the same RV for about half the price. I sold RV's for several years. 60% markup on a lot of them. Been traveling with an RV for 3 years now and I wouldn't have it any other way. Having said that, it's not for everyone.

    I have a 30' travel trailer. Pd $14k and it's paid off. RV park lot rent $375-$500 mth including utilities. Tax deductions out the wazzou. No motel room between assignments. Pull it with a 3/4 suburban. It's not stressful if you take your time. When ...

15. Destination ideas

    revkev007 replied to Hex's topic in Travel

    Depends on what you like. Big city or small town. Outdoor life or clubbing. My favorites have been Reno (St. Marys) and Tulsa (St. Johns). I'm a small town person, so I enjoyed Cheyenne WY as well. I'm headed to Montana next. My kind of country.
