1. Travel assignment in San Fran area

   Travel_RNER replied to RNewbie's topic in Travel

   I believe American Mobile and their sister companies have a contract with Kaiser facilities, which are hospitals all throughout California. They may have a little better chance of getting you to your San Fran destination.

3. Prescription Coverage as a Travel Nurse

   Travel_RNER replied to Codeman906's topic in Travel

   Would your current doctor be willing to write separate prescriptions for several months so you can have a continuous supply if you explained your situation? Then you can just have the new script filled each month? I believe a controlled substance pre...

4. Computer training for travel nurses

   Travel_RNER replied to raedar63's topic in Travel

   You will do fine. Don't let that hold you back. Some hospitals will give you a computer class orientation. Some have given me a full 8 hr class. When all else fails default to the "nurses notes". That's my strategy.

6. Searching for 1st travel assignment (AMN not my fave)

   Travel_RNER replied to RunsWscissors's topic in Travel

   I work for one of AMNs companies too. I did the same thing. I started talking to someone from AMN and she called me just about every day for 3 months. She also submitted my file without my OK a couple of times. (FYI, she still calls me and asks if I'...

9. AS to BSN while traveling?

   Travel_RNER replied to Travel_RNER's topic in Travel

   Good point with the time frame for carrying over coursework! Definitely something to keep in mind. I have certainly considered getting my CEN. It's just so costly with the fear of not passing in the back of my mind. I know a lot of jobs have requir...

11. AS to BSN while traveling?

    Travel_RNER posted a topic in Travel

    I am tossing the idea of working on my BSN while I am traveling. I can't decide if this is the best idea or not. One of the things holding me back is the cost of my BSN. I think if I hold out I could maybe get a hospital to help pay for it when I se...

15. Cant get first travel nursing assignment

    Travel_RNER replied to louisa1's topic in Travel

    With this being your 1st travel assignment you definitely have to be very very flexible. I took my 1st assignment in California (from Florida). California is supposedly the easiest to get your 1st assignment. After that it will get easier. Most agenc...
