  1. Fastaff

    Thank you for your comment, BluntForceTrauma. I still mention Fastaff to other (potential) travelers looking for generous compensation, but I also urge them to have a "plan B", and never to quit their jobs until they have a contract in hand.
  2. Find your own contract...make more money

    I shall do that. Thank you for your prolific postings!
  3. Find your own contract...make more money

    "By the way, that is exactly the scenario it takes to do the contract independently. Once they want you, you have leverage with HR to do your own contract. You need to have a contract written, get insurance, and a few other ducks in a row (basically ...
  4. Fastaff

    UtErRnEmt, I was also lured by their generous compensation when they offered me a Peds ER position in the Bronx earlier this year. After completing the marathon of online testing, running to the lab for blood titers and drug screens, my (intake) recr...
  5. ED RN travel placements-mostly low acuity assignments?

    As an active ER traveler, I have learned that each facility's approach to utilizing us is different. One thing is for sure: in the end, it is up to the charge nurse to arbitrarily assign your rooms for the shift. Whatever your ideal ER patient popula...
  6. Anyone been to Montefiore in Bronx, Ny?

    Yes, they still offered me the same housing location, plus a commuting stipend. The only issue was getting a confirmation for the assignment from the Fastaff recruiter after she sent me to do all bloodwork and took a marathon of online tests...she cl...
  7. 9:1 ER ratios in NY?

  8. Travel company you are happy with...

    I Hi I'mAnRN, I am relatively new to travel also, and realize that three months won't kill you, no mater where you go. My first assignment was horrible, but I stuck to it and I am a better nurse because of it, in part thanks to our fellow nurses here...
  9. Anyone travel to DUKE,UNC or WAKE Med Hosp?

    Look up Solstice. I spoke with a recruiter recently and they seem to cover Raleigh_Durham pretty extensively. Medstaff is another one. God luck, we might end up working there together :)
  10. Ever heard of Fusion?

    This might have just been the case. After collecting all my information, they called me the next morning to tell me the position had already been filled (which could be true). Now they have my profile! In the mentime, I accepted another offer with a ...
  11. Ever heard of Fusion?

    They offer very competitive packages, and the recruiter seems top-notch. Like you, I noticed their RN job search is blank...they called me and I stil do not know how they got my number!What did they specialize in before?
  12. Ever heard of Fusion?

    I am contemplating one of their offers but I have never heard of them...have you?
  13. Praying in the work place

    It is one created by our Christian founding Fathers :)
  14. Praying in the work place

    If I pray openly (with words), I ask the patient and family first. If they decline, I still pray FOR them on my own. As a Christian patient, I would not be offended if a Native American caregiver offered me a charm with the belief that it would help ...
