I heard from a nurse at work that Alaska is supposedly paying 140.00 for travel assignments. I seroiusly doubt this is true, but wondering if any of you have heard this.

Maybe because I was in Seattle..

I already have an Alaskan RN license since I use to work as a staff nurse there when we lived there. I only made $20.00/flat/hour! Hmmmmmmm...tell us more. :chair:
