Have you told the company you would rather work for that the other company you are talking to about travel assignments offers license reimbursement? License reimbursement is a small fee, that is why the company should be willing to pay for it. I thin...

Hi, Thanks for the info. I work in the OR. Hopefully, my friends and I will travel there soon.

The travel jobs in houston area pay LOW. A few times On Assignment has had openings at the Herman hospitals and were paying low-mid 30's. That is good pay for the houston area. Some are even offering mid-20's. Premiere Staffing, an internal agency ha...

Thanks for the info! I'll let you know if I take an assignment there!

I have heard good things about huntington memorial from other travelers. Liked the job and area. Hope you like your assignment.

I'm interested in traveling to Maryland. Could you recommend a hospital and company? thanks

You should be able to get around $40/hr PLUS housing,etc..... especially in CA. CA pays 1 1/2 after 8 hrs, if you work 12/hr shifts, you should be able to make around $60/hr for the last 4 hrs.

Yes, OR nurses are in demand. I worked as an OR nurse for one year before I started traveling. I did not have any problems. It depends on the person and your comfort level. Everyone is different. In my opinion, you can work at the same place for 5 or...

Hi, Isn't "unsafe working conditions grounds" to terminate your contract? I would think your company would stand behind you on this.

I have worked in Maui. Everyone at the hospital was friendly. It was the best three months ever!! Pay isn't all that great, but it was worth it to be in Maui. Pay normally around $27 - $29/hr. I did have a fully furnished private condo. No rental ...

I'm not sure. I got a Perkins Loan with a University, some of the community colleges offer the loan and some do not. You can talk to the Financial Aid Dept.

Ask about a Perkins Loan. It is a loan for nurses, police officers and teachers. You get a certain amout each semester ($3000.00?? i think). If you work as a nurse for 5 cons years after graduating, you do not have to pay it back. There is paperwo...

I am traveling with Medical Staffing Solutions. It's a smaller company, you get alot of personal attention and he makes sure his nurses are happy. I have been wanting to travel in Texas. Several different companies told me I couldn't get more than...

:blushkiss I have two friends that travel with me that have RV's. They love it. One of them sold their house and bought a NICE RV. Her husband is a nurse also and they travel around all over. If you want I can give you their e-mail address and yo...

There are some companies that calculate your hourly wage including housing, etc.... There are also companies out there that pay $45/hr not including housing, travel, rental car, etc.... When they tell you hr/pay, ask them. Tell them you want to kn...

$25/hr working days or nights is LOW!!!!! There is better pay out there for FL. I have friends working there now making alot more

I always get guaranteed hours, either 40 or 48 hrs. I don't pay if i'm sick or take time off work. Now you know a few things to ask before you accept a position. your recruiter should have told you these things before. Ask about private housing (i...

I have never worked for them. I can suggest that it would be a good idea to talk to severl different companies before you decide on one. Ask about private housing, furnished housing, paid for phone/cable/utilities, travel pay, benefits. Also ask if ...

The company I work with has jobs in Texas. What is your specialty? you can PM me

Hi, you and your husband will have a blast traveling together. That is what my husband and I are doing. Our favorite place was Maui! We have been all over. I would not travel with anyone associated with american mobile. I traveled with them and had ...

i have worked with american mobile and will NEVER use them again. My recruiter lied to me so bad, I broke my contract. Pay rate is LOW and they make you pay for private housing and you have to bring your own linen, cookware etc..... I am now making o...

The most I have brought home in one week is $2400/wk. I worked 54/hrs that week. I had fully furnished private housing, rental car and travel pay. If I only work 40 hrs. I bring home around $1300/wk.

I travel with Medical Staffing Solutions. Smaller company. GREAT pay, they always do what they say they will do. They provide free private housing, travel pay and $40 to $45/hr. I will NEVER use American Mobile. I used them on my first travel assignm...

Yes, travel nursing is as good as it appears if you use the right company. My first travel company treated me horrible, but it was a lesson I learned. Now I love travel nursing and with the right company you will also. The company you pick should pro...

How much experience depends on how comfortable you feel in the OR. I traveled after only working in the OR about 11 months. 5 of my friends also quit at the same time to travel and they only worked in the OR for about a year a half. Every hospital is...
