  1. Nursing shoes

    I've been wearing the same pair of black and white Onitsuka Tigers for two years now and they're still pretty comfortable.
  2. Male Nurse Scrubs

    I only wear scrub tops that have those pockets at the bottom. Working M/S-Tele-SDU/PCU, I always end up carrying so many supplies around with me that the extra pockets are useful. Plus with all the bending over and crouching involved in the job, I th...
  3. discrimination against female docs

    I've seen it the other way, with female nurses flirting or giving special treatment to male docs, but I never noticed any negativity toward female docs. More like ambivalence or indifference. I guess because they can't marry the female docs, which so...
  4. Realities of stress and dissatisfaction in nursing.

    The worst parts are not being able to find/get help when you need it, and when things are out of stock or you can't find them. I waste so much time walking around and looking for people or supplies. But it's not really that bad because if you have to...
  5. documentation

    I always heard that you had 24 hours to change something, but NicuGal is right that the original will always be there.
  6. How to find housing?

    I have started looking at staying in Bed and Breakfasts first when I am trying to find housing for a travel assignment. It's furnished, usually comes with maid service, you get a few free meals a week at least, and you don't really have to deal with ...
  7. Different state licenses

    I don't think there are many states left that have fast licensing. In many states (even ones where it only takes 1-2 weeks to get the license), a facility won't talk to you as a traveler unless you already have the license. In 2011 I got my DC licens...
  8. Extended Stay America?

    I've been traveling a couple years. The first assignment, I took the company's housing (Amer Mobile) and they had no problem getting me pet-friendly housing. After that, I either stayed with friends or found housing on Craigslist that was pet-friendl...
  9. ST. Thomas USVI Travel????

    I visited St Croix this past January, and running out of seemingly everyday things seems to be a facet of island life in general. One guy I talked to made a point of saying that you had to be ok with running out of things like stamps, milk, etc. to l...
  10. Does this sound fishy?

    It sounds like she's trying to pull something over on you. Like there's something in the contract that she knows you won't like or won't agree to, so if you're already invested in the job, i.e. a plane ticket, you're less likely to back out. I would ...
  11. Heard of American Mobile Healthcare

    I'm on my first assignment with AMN right now in Washington DC. I've had a pretty decent experience so far. Pay is $31.50/hr, I have a large one bedroom apartment to myself, and I don't have to pay any bills like water, electric, or deposits. My recr...
