   Maxim healthcare services can be found all over the US. I worked with a Maxim healthcare agency based out of Jacksonville, FL for my first travel assignment in NC. She promised me that she would reimburse my travel pay/move expenses over the phone. B...

   Carefreeliving replied to ComeTogether's topic in Agency

   Congrats on the new job. I did agency nursing for 3 years in WA state. I never worked for another agency, so I'm not sure if my experience concedes with the experience of other agency nurses. The first time I pulled a shift, I was so nervous too; I d...

   Who gives a damn what others have to say in relation to your dream? Do it. You don't need all of us here to tell you what to do either; you already know what you need to do. I'm only saying this to push you in a good way. I mean this well. :) "You a...

10. Travel nursing need advice!!

    Carefreeliving replied to 86711lh's topic in Travel

    Travel assignments aren't as abundant as they used to be; therefore agencies/hospitals can be more picky about the travelers they want. I would recommend that you obtain 2 years of experience prior to traveling because they want you to hit the floor ...

    Carefreeliving replied to Carefreeliving's topic in Travel

    Thanks for your input. I always like a second, or third pair of eyes to glance over what I've got in front of me when it comes to assignments. PaulaFlexRn, is your friend getting $42/hour PLUS the living stipend? Or does that include the living stipe...
