   miam replied to Mona,RN's topic in Travel

   Staff makes much more then travelers in the bay area, but very very difficult to land perm positions.

2. Travel Agency

   miam replied to snellison8's topic in Travel

   You can't expect other nurses to spoon feed you specific information. You have to be willing to get on the phone and do your homework. And if the assignment does not work out then learn from it and move on. Travel nursing is a very individual experi...

   miam replied to briantroy's topic in Travel

   If you are signed up with several agencies then you should have work. That being said I don't know if travel nursing is for those extremely "picky". How do you know you don't lime a area until you have been? And it's only 13 weeks,then you move on.it...

4. Do you make your own schedule?

   miam replied to ASHRN828's topic in Travel

   She may have been on the rude side but she was right. We are there to fill in the needs they have and very often it may not seem fair. But not very often do we get treated like staff. A lot worse then that can happen as a traveler then getting a crap...

5. Future traveler needing friendly advice

   miam replied to ORRN1989's topic in Travel

   I don't think it would be wise to start traveling thinking you are going to have to make a lot of extra money to pay back loans. What if you are at an assignment and they cancel you 2 weeks into a 13 week assignment and you are out of work those 2 we...

8. Is traveling REALLY all that AND SOME???!!

   miam replied to NurseLizabeeRN's topic in Travel

   You would want to drive so that you could have a vehicle to explore with. Unless you rent a car, and that would be something you pay for, not the agency and quite expensive.

9. Licensure question

   miam replied to taggart84's topic in Travel

   I'm lucky, I have a compact license but since you do not pick 3 or 4 states that seem to have nursing jobs that you are interested in and want to visit and appapply for license when you can afford it. It will get expensive fast.

10. Hotel Accomadations for Travelers

    miam replied to jnh911's topic in Travel

    i have done this at comfort inns, they have let check in as early as 7 a. They are pretty basic, but for 36 hrs all you really need is a clean bed, a microwave, and a fridge. It works. :)

11. Per diem to Traveler - Is this allowed?

    miam replied to liser79's topic in Travel

    why would you say travel nursing is not full time? Most of us ask for guaranteed 36 hour weeks in our contract, which is always considered full time.

    miam replied to jskgx2's topic in Travel

    with the travel industry still being pretty tight on jobs, and peoples experience being different, i think it would be very difficult for two nurses to try to arrange travel assignments together right now, but maybe not impossible. from my experience...
