    Culinary Chef. I'm 50 y/o and wished I was younger because I should have considered a second career,not sure if I still should think about it.
  2. Burnout rate-experienced nurses reply

    I've worked 28 out of 30 years in Critical Care and trust me, in the past if I wanted to move on, I did. I left my staff job 9 years ago to become a travel nurse and that was ideal. Now the economy is keeping me from working steadily and I'm expensiv...
  3. Thinking about NOT signing another contract!

    I have been a Nurse for 30 years and have been traveling on and off for the last 9 years so my advice is on the money... you do NOT give verbal permission for an extension and you do NOT sign any extensions. Instead, you send a letter to your Recruit...
  4. I have been in orientation since last week in Orlando and both another RN and I were cancelled. Both of us have been Nurses 30 years and there are just no guarantees that an assignment will be honored. So what to do???? Well, I had an awesome opportu...

    To me, I have gone on assignments but just want to get from point A to B.
  6. Driving and Travel Assignments

    Without a second driver, no way would I go it alone and also, why put all those miles on the car when I can totally get back all the expense of shipping and not be burned out right before an assignment starts or ends? I just want to get there. If I w...

  10. Travel Nursing

    You want at least 3 years for most companies. Two isn't going to get you into most hospitals. My advice is stay staff, really hone your skills because some hospitals aren't easy to work in and you need the experience before you plunge in. When you do...
  11. Show me the money!!!

    May I make a suggestion? You're smart to take the assignment but then you want to rake it in so you also sign up with a local agency and add a couple of shifts here and there and you'll have the green you're looking for. Just make sure that you work ...
  12. Anyone know a good travel company?

    My first assignemnt was with American Mobile. My goodness, they were so good to me and when I extended, I had unexpected bonuses added. I was very happy with them and always recommend them. If you work with them, you will be busy. If you also registe...

    I've worked for American Mobile and always had a very good travel experience with them. I wouldn't hesitate to work for them again.
  14. OnAssignment Nurses?

    I think they are one of the best agencies around. I have worked for them for years and they always have good rates plus car. I have shipped my car on some asssignments and I have used them as well. I think they're a great agency to work for.
  15. Driving and Travel Assignments

    When I went to Calif. back in 2004 for the first time, I shipped my car and I was very happy that I did that because I stayed in Cali for 9 months. It was a very enjoyable contract and I think in retrospect that I should have stayed the full year but...
