1. Unemployment Insurance Benefits

   briantroy replied to briantroy's topic in Travel

   Hey Ned, I am Hispanic, and I attended junior high/freshman year of high school in an area where my family was definitely not welcome: signs posted in front yard, notes left on porch, etc. Perhaps it is because we lived in an upper class area, but I...

2. Travel or Seasonal?

   Thanks again, Ned. Here is an example of what I heard from a coworker. Not sure if it applies to seasonal hospital personnel: No more unemployment benefits for seasonal workers - May. 31, 2012

3. Unemployment Insurance Benefits

   briantroy replied to briantroy's topic in Travel

   Thanks, Ned. UIB seem to be the biggest factor for me right now. I am so used to having a regular paycheck and knowing where the next one is coming from, that I feel nice and secure. Doing the travel thing is, frankly, a bit scary. My greatest fear i...

4. Travel or Seasonal?

   Interesting. The hospital built and owns an apartment complex, but they charge you extra if you have a pet since you have to live alone. I will have to check into the 'tax home' you mention and learn how that works. I'm not sure what the laws are lik...

5. Travel or Seasonal?

   briantroy replied to briantroy's topic in Travel

   The 9 month job is not a travel contract. That particular job is deemed a season job and is with the actual hospital, not an agency. I'm aware I will have to be looking for work, I guess I am just wondering what a "suitable" job is. In other words, w...

   Thanks guys! I didn't mention that I am an RT, but there aren't any travel RT websites so I figured nursing was close enough! The biggest problem, however, is that there are about 50 times as many travel nursing jobs as there are travel RT jobs. Beca...

   I have been thinking about leaving my full-time job of 10 years to travel. But, I recently heard that unemployment benefits are not available if I refuse to take an assignment somewhere I don't want to go. Given that, I have heard about a place in Ar...

8. Unemployment Insurance Benefits

   briantroy replied to briantroy's topic in Travel

   That's exactly what I was afraid of. I would never want to be pushed into taking an assignment somewhere I don't want to be just because I can't wait for an assignment in a place I want to see. If I finish an assignment in Seattle and the company say...

   Hi Guys. I am thinking of leaving my full-time position I have had for 10 years to take a travel assignment. I have always wanted to travel, but only now do I have the freedom to do such. But, there are only certain areas of the country where I want ...

    briantroy replied to briantroy's topic in Travel

    Thanks for the help guys. Yuma is a 3 hour drive from where I live now, so flying there isn't a problem. The position being offered is a full-time position so I will be there in the busy and slow seasons (warm months and screaming hot months). I am r...
