  2. Split-Shift Floating

    CameToSlay posted a topic in Travel

    I am currently on an assignment where I am sometimes asked to switch units mid-shift (4 hours on one unit, 8 hours on another). Sometimes, I am asked to do this not out of an emergent need, but...

  6. Split-Shift Floating

    CameToSlay replied to CameToSlay's topic in Travel

    Cali has mandanted max staffing ratios of 4 to 1 I believe. That would be fine. I am talking about 8

  7. I want to be a travel nurse. Advise?

    CameToSlay replied to blackberry74's topic in Travel

    OR nurses work 5 shifts per week, med-surg typically works 3. It makes sense OR nurse bill rates would be higher because they work more hours... but they also have to work almost every day. Med-surg...

  8. I want to be a travel nurse. Advise?

    CameToSlay replied to blackberry74's topic in Travel

    If you want to do it, go for it! I started with only a telemetry and med/surg background and have had no trouble finding assignments. Multiple recruiters always sending me emails. "Specialty" nurses...

  9. Changing specialties while travel nursing

    CameToSlay replied to VegRN723's topic in Travel

    I picked up a Step-down assignment from a med-surg/tele background without having had a staff position in it prior. Learned some cool new things. ED to ICU seems like more of a stretch... but good...

  10. Travel nurse insurance revoked

    CameToSlay replied to Nurselyfe92's topic in Travel

    I can confirm Aureus has a brutal health insurance eligibility policy. They will take it away and not even let you

  11. Pay cut to travel??

    CameToSlay replied to NorCalKid's topic in Travel

    Cost of living varies greatly across the U.S. You may take a lower-paying contract in a state with a low cost of living, and wind up banking significantly more than you would with a higher-paying...

  12. Terminated years ago, go back as travel nurse?

    CameToSlay replied to KrispyRN1's topic in Travel

    Wow that sounds like a bunch of B.S. on that manager's part, the reason unions exist. At least you didn't need them in the end. Good

  13. Have I hurt my chances for traveling?

    CameToSlay replied to amedRN's topic in Travel

    Maybe you could go per diem for the last half year. Time as Per diem still counts towards your years of experience! You may be required to float to some other med-surg floors, which is great...

  14. Cape Cod Rates

    CameToSlay replied to bigmack78's topic in Travel

    1600 sounds low to me, my last contract in southern New Hampshire was just under 1800/week for med-surg/tele, and not a crisis rate or anything, that was standard for other travelers I spoke with......

  15. Patient Ratio 1:8 and no tech!

    CameToSlay replied to newgradamy's topic in Travel

    They must be quite understaffed which is why they needed travelers, but honestly if those are the working conditions in Florida they really need to give travel nurses a raise there, last I heard the...

  16. I'm in peds, should I switch if I want to do travel nursing?

    CameToSlay replied to MontanaBerry's topic in Travel

    The hospital I'm on assignment at now has a peds unit that hires

  17. Advice

    CameToSlay replied to Qing's topic in Travel

    My advice... You've got to roll with the punches! Be 'low-maintenance', easy going, but also able to defend yourself if necessary. Good

  18. Just dropping in to say "hello" and offer a couple of tips :)

    CameToSlay replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    My eyes are on ethereum / QTUM/

  19. Changing specialties

    CameToSlay replied to ck32's topic in Travel

    Telemetry and med surg are also "hot" (less egotistical perhaps) and nurses have no trouble finding assignments that pay very

  20. Changing specialties

    CameToSlay replied to ck32's topic in Travel

    You should really stop talking about what you don't know. That would be like me saying "There's really less demand for OR nurses right now, because there are so many outpatient surgical centers". Is...

  21. Changing specialties

    CameToSlay replied to ck32's topic in Travel

    There is no reason to belittle med-surg nurses. They have plenty of marketable abilities and experience, and are highly sought after by hospitals, since they could not run without inpatient units....

  22. Med/Surg Travel Nursing

    CameToSlay replied to xanadu00's topic in Travel

    Med-Surg IS a specialty. Hospitals need inpatient units to function, and skilled nurses to work in them. You will probably be expected to float to other med-surg units than the one you are hired

  23. Travel Nursing Advice

    CameToSlay replied to amkare's topic in Travel

    I think the most important factor to consider is the actual hospital you would like to do an assignment at. Find an agency that will place you in a hospital you would like to go

  25. Are Termed Contracts Becoming a Trend?

    CameToSlay replied to guest940422's topic in Travel

    I wouldn't take it personally and I wouldn't put it on a resume. Your agency is your employer so if they're still working with you then you haven't technically been terminated by your
