were you able to travel between them frequently. I hate stayin in one place for a long time. do they help pay off loans. what is the pay like?

I get that every where I work. I am a travel nurse and I also work per diem when on assignements. I have reallly learned to go with the flow. If I am doing something the patient reports to me no one has ever done to them I tell them I tend to assess more then I need to. I have had placed not like me because of personality clashes. I have found that if I try to get involved in potlucks, birthdays or what have you then my assertiveness does not offend as many people. Good Luck.

Hi I wanted to address your post. I graduated 5 years ago with a BSN. Prior to starting that program I had most of my GE requirements completed. At the time, I had a child at the age of 9 with mental health issues. I met my current BF and fell in love instantly. He is 7 yrs younger then me with no kids. He went from single man to full time dad. There were days where we were in the same house together but really not together. i would be sitting at the table for hours studing and writting papers. We ended up breaking up after two years. He felt that I was not able to give him what he needed. We remained friends and are now back together. I tell you this becuase I hope you can realize that there will be times where you won't see each other often. You may have to take what you can get at times. Remember that in the end it will pay off. My bf now says he wished he would have waited jsut a lil while longer. We dont take anything for granted and spend as much time together as we can.

I am thinking of relocating to TN. I have 5 yrs expereince in tele. Can someone tell me what the average pay wages are. Thanks Looking at Knoxville area

I am thinking of relocating to TN. I am interested in this facility. Can you tell me the wages for an RN with 5 yrs expereience.

I have to take a pass of fail ekg test. I ahve been told it is very hard. I have to id the strip and incite every intervention for every strip. I have sites for strip reading but I am looking for sites to help with all interventions. I have been told think like a doctor, anticipate every thing a doc would do. Thanks

I can totally understand. I have been a nurse for 5 years. I work med/surg, tele, stepdown. I have seen a lot of the same issues and drama's. Had one the other night. I kept saying to my self why bother. Remeber this: You will make a difference to someone almost every day. You may not see the effects or be told. Your patience, understanding, caring touch will matter to someone. It might not be a patient but a family memeber or a teenager in the hallway who you didnt know was watching. Sometimes I have to remember the lil things to get by.

Hello everyone. I travel with my S/O and we have a mini van. We also have a small dog. We have to take out housewares with us and clothing. Any tips on kitchen gadgets and other things to help make packing easy and condensed. Thanks

Get an account on Delphiforums.com They have a travel nurse forum and one for recruiters to talk to and post to travel nurses. I have seen a lot of postings for OR. Good Luck

Hello Everyone. I am having diffculity making a decision. I could possibly go home to MI and not have a contract right away and work per diem places. my agency gets Mi contracts all the time but for immediate starts and since I am on contract till April I cant submit for them until I am done. They say they can get me one. THis is only my first contract with them. So far they have been great. I am in AZ right now and have the great potential for another contract. My bf travels with me and we do alot of things with family during the srping and summer. He wants to go home and I dont think that it is a good idea. Any advice. Thanks so much. Dawn

Hello all. I am being submitted for a position in AZ. I was reading some old posts from JAN of this year. It talked about no work and being cancelled a lot. Any AZ people out there. how are things?

Hello everyone. I have posted in the past about my "tone" of voice being taken wrong. It is continuing to happen with certain types of patients. The manager and I think that part of the issue is that my assertiveness is taken as aggressive or even condiscending. Can anyone give my suggestions on things I can do to prevent this. I am on the verge of getting fired. I really feel my manager is making way too much out of this. she is constantly watching over me and asking me co-workers about me. please help

Help!! I keep getting called into the office because of "tone of voice". God I hate that phrase. I can say something totally innocent and a patient will say my tone was rude or something. I don't realize it. To me it seems like I am just fine. Does any one else have this problem? I need suggestions for how to better control my voice even how loud it is. It carries. I have always had this problem. Help.
