  1. Getting Out of My Contract

    eager1hasbegun replied to daisybsn's topic in Travel

    eager1hasbegun replied to nicoled787's topic in Travel

    If you don't mind hotel digs, ask your company to put you up in an Extended Stay. Free internet and cable (as well as other benefits depending on property: gym, pool, breakfast, housekeeping, etc)....

    eager1hasbegun replied to HikingNinja's topic in Travel

    eager1hasbegun replied to daisybsn's topic in Travel

  6. Best of Both Worlds!

    eager1hasbegun replied to HoopingRN's topic in Travel

    NedRN, I think you misunderstand my context. Why would you get a housing stipend if you're traveling locally, that is to say working as an agency nurse in or near your hometown? You have no extra...

  7. Best of Both Worlds!

    eager1hasbegun replied to HoopingRN's topic in Travel

    eager1hasbegun replied to ImKosher's topic in Travel

    Where do you work, jodyangel?!? I'd like to settle down there when I'm done traveling! Unless of course you're making that much because of seniority/tenure. While people on staff for several years...

    eager1hasbegun replied to BostonRN13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  11. Day/Night Rotation...Why seeing more in Travel Jobs

    eager1hasbegun replied to dimplechinRN's topic in Travel

    eager1hasbegun replied to OB-nurse2013's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    eager1hasbegun replied to 21strawberry's topic in Travel

  16. Travel RN Compensation vs. Current non-travel Compensation

    eager1hasbegun replied to Rain_ray2000's topic in Travel

    eager1hasbegun replied to jamd11's topic in Ob/Gyn

  20. paper licenses

    eager1hasbegun replied to Success2011's topic in Maryland Nursing

    If this is the same as I got 5 years ago, it's more of a congratulatory certificate and is useless in proving your licensure after the 1st year. MBON website confirms they do not issue paper...
