I have an offer for 23.00/hr for a facility claiming I will be doing vaccinations and blood draws and only 400.00 round trip travel for 1300 mile drive. Am I getting taken? Im also an LVN first time traveler....:stone
And what about housing and expenses? As an LPN, that salary is just fine, but what are they actually covering? And what type of company is this contract with? Does not sound like a hospital setting at all, but more like some type of office.
What else are they going to cover for you?

I am on a travel contract in Los Angeles and I am at $37/hr. I use the housing given to me and I get $800 in travel money. I also have a 4 day guaranteed work week. I am a peds nurse.

$37/hr and 2K/month tax free housing stipend in Ventura, CA. That's a total of about $50/hr.
Hi, Do you mind me asking which hospital in Ventura. I visit my family there all the time, and have often thought of working there as a travel nurse.
What specialty do you work in? Thanks!

I'm trying to travel to Chicago, but I'm having a difficult time with the company I'm with. I've heard you have to do local or agency only up there. Do you have any helpful hints to try to get a job up there?

What is the difference between a traveling nurse and an agency nurse?
