Re: travel nursing nightmare
From reading the thread it says you wouldve been interested in night shift, but, i think you meant to say you wouldn;t be interested?
I would find out from your recruiter what reimbursement you will be getting for cancelled shifts. it's simple enough to ask.
in addition, i would consider trying to work a few night shifts. i used to turn green around the gills working nights, then I bit the bullet and took a nights contract, and was somehow able to do it. on my last contract (nights) the nurses were shocked to find out that I try to do primarily days. you might find you can't do nights at all, but....if you try it, you can really tell the agency you gave it the old college try...
This is one reason to have 3 months of living expenses saved when traveling, so that when wacky stuff happens you can feel a little confident with your cushion.
And a lesson to those of us going to "vacation locations" I'm headed to florida and my sister wants to bring her kids and do a disney weekend...I think I'll have her wait a few weeks before making any plane/hotel reservations.
I hope that your company finds a position for you soon. it sounds like a stressful, yukky situation. I do think with the copy of your contract in hand, you might be reimbursed for quite a bit, but probably not your moms plane tickets etc....
