OP- update us, did you show your wife these posts and what was her reaction?

At every hospital I have worked at we have hospital issued uniform and thats it, besides like sparticus mentioned we can wear Christmas scrubs in December. BTW you usually also have the option of wearing a skirt ( so practical in nursing ?)

100% your choice if you want extra shift or not and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Has anyone had a contract cancelled mid way thru? Can they do that? What is the point of a contract then?

I did this for my Illinois license and got it within 2 days of applying. Mine only expired in 2018. Just curious how long is your Texas license good for? Illinois is doing a limited license just for Covid so mine expires again now 9/30/20

Following... I am also considering a travel contract and have the same concern although to be honest it ending by May seems very optimistic.

This is why we as nurses will never get ahead financially, because we settle for whatever is thrown at us no matter what the personal risk or sacrifice.

I am also looking at the NYC travel contracts and the housing concerns me as well. I checked Airbnb and can see the page where hosts can offer their places for free/discount but not where we as nurses go? I’ve also read about the 4 seasons and the other hotels but how do we actually go about getting it?

I think the community is really getting behind us as nurses and hopefully this crisis will help lead to a reckoning in terms of for-profit care, undervalued nurses, and greedy corporate management. Therefore I say if you have put into writing your concerns to management, HR, etc and they still don’t want to pay you properly, go to the local media!! Like the local news “problem solvers “ or whatever they have in your area.
