   emilee1978 replied to michlynn's topic in Travel

   There's an extended stay in Braintree, which is a suburb of Boston. Is it too late to let the agency handle it? My housing in Boston was always nice, I was a traveller there for almost 3 years.....

   Woops. Accidentally hit send. Anyways. The apartment can kick you out for violating your lease , it's a matter of property insurance. And also, if you say he's a " mixed" breed, apartment complexes are within their rights to ask you to get a no...

5. When patients and visitors are rude

   emilee1978 replied to brownbook's topic in Relations

   So according to the original poster, it's a battered wife's fault if her husband hits her in the face? I mean, his dinner was on the table AFTER 5 o'clock................I truly believe if nursing was a largely MALE profession, most of these rude ...

8. Still searching, but uncertain of the options

   emilee1978 replied to theopenroad54's topic in Travel

   I'm like you, Theopenroad54, I like privacy, a decent apartment, my own washer/dryer, etc. Yes, I could go live at the Y or rent a room in some ax murderer's basement for $150 a month, but that's not how I like to live. I honestly suggest one ...

9. A disgruntled ex calling the bon on me.

   emilee1978 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

   Sometimes, I disagree with the BON's anonymous complaint policy....for this very reason, some crazy ex, white-trash neighbor, or anyone with an ax to grind can try to ruin your career.. Shouldn't you have the right to face your accuser?

10. Traveling with a Mooch/Dirtbag?

    emilee1978 replied to 79Tango's topic in Travel

    Another option, with sometimes pretty decent pay is bartending? A traveller I worked with years ago had a husband who was retired, but would find bartending jobs wherever they went, and usually worked on the nights she worked.

11. Traveling with a Mooch/Dirtbag?

    Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but unless they're retired, I don't trust a man who doesn't work. Case closed.

13. PBDS Update

    emilee1978 replied to VickyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Took this test end of January. The test seems HIGHLY subjective to me, and also seems that your passing is dependent upon who is sitting there grading the test. The key is to make the appropriate diagnosis, otherwise you're off and running in the w...

    I was with AMN for 3 years, the housing seemed to become shabbier with each assignment, left and went with Advantage RN, so far I'm happy, gave me 3 choices of housing through them, or could take the stipend. I had AMN quote me for a housing stip...

15. What to expect in pay and per diems??

    emilee1978 replied to nicurn2008's topic in Travel

    I was told by an accountant, who is not that familiar with travel nursing so take it with a grain of salt, that anything under 17-18$/hour is a red flag to the IRS.
