   I understand that my PO will only Hold for 30 days. I just hav'nt found the perfect fit. I will check out America's mail box and Rv escape. Mail Forward won't send packages or magazines Forward to a different address and its difficult to get the For...

2. Mail management while traveling

   groundedandrooted posted a topic in Travel

   It's been difficult to manage while I'm out of town. I just found out that my post office sent everything "return to sender." I don't like the forward option and have never tried a PO box. What is working best for you?

3. 3rd party contract

   So... I got a call from Parallon---- Call me paranoid, How the heck did they get my info?! It's too much of a coincidence to be a cold call.....

4. 3rd party contract

   LOL I can't think of any good conspiracy to explain why HCA and AAS would cancel my contract! And I don't encourage anybody to work in south Florida. over and out :)

5. 3rd party contract

   groundedandrooted replied to groundedandrooted's topic in Travel

   I wonder how many nurses know and avoid HCA and South Florida?? AAS and HCA are one and the same entity. They would cancel a traveler from another agency before they would cancel a direct hire. Agree?

6. ascultating the lungs of a female patient

   groundedandrooted replied to srleslie's topic in General Nursing

   Don't be sure that any hospital will back you in case of a problem, In this case the hospital turned the case over to the police. The tech had to go to jury trial to get his name cleared. I think that he had a right to turn around and sue the hospita...

7. 3rd party contract

   groundedandrooted replied to groundedandrooted's topic in Travel

   I'm thinking this route of employing nurses would cut down on the refusals to work for a certain corporation.

8. 3rd party contract

   groundedandrooted replied to groundedandrooted's topic in Travel

   The first clue that I had was when the recruiter sent me paperwork from an agency different from hers. I'm thinking that it is easier for Y agency to cancel someone NOT from them, in this case Y agency cancelled me instead of one of their own nurses.

9. ascultating the lungs of a female patient

   groundedandrooted replied to srleslie's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, and you do well to be concerned, I know of one Tech who was in nursing school and on his 90 days of orient was accused by a female patient of assault. Ruined his nursing career, as well as requiring a jail visit and a jury trial.

    I doubt the chances that you get audited are very high- I'd chance it, but that's just me!

11. Advice needed stat please: Contract Cancelled after driving across country!

    groundedandrooted replied to RNx352008's topic in Travel

    I'm sorry to hear this: I guess I would think twice about ever taking another contract with this company. They may not be at fault, but they benefit if you are stuck in Cali and have to take something with them. YOU DON'T. This just happened to me i...

12. 3rd party contract

    groundedandrooted posted a topic in Travel

    Does your recruiter tell you if she is going through a 3rd party for your contract? Say X agency is your agency and is working through Y agency who works for ABC hospital. I think I should be told up front who the agency is, so that I can refuse ...

14. Warning regarding seasonal travel assigment in Palm beach county Florida

    groundedandrooted replied to Runman1914's topic in Travel

    The nurses that worked in ER didn't seem so unhappy, I know they were always short on staff. As far as other non-bedside- I really could not say.

    Hi! Totally agree with you on this! Be very very careful, and require an increase in $ for mental anguish if you take an assignment at Del Ray. Really still can't believe how bad things were at that hospital!
