2. travel nurse partner

   RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to tvm4315's topic in Travel

   If you are afraid to travel alone, maybe Travel isn't for you. Trying to get two people a job at the same place may be very difficult. What if one of you gets the better shift. How will that affect...

3. Jumping back into travel

   RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to ERjunkie38's topic in Travel

   Can't tell you about travel in the ED any more, but can tell you that Travel Nursing has probably changed in the past 5 years. I am currently an atypical travel nurse (at least in my mind) I have been...

5. Scrub Nurse vs Scrub Techs

   RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to Heart2015FNP's topic in Operating Room

   Just do your best, don't get into a you vs them situation. You are only responsible for what you do, not what they tell you to do. Don't expect them to set up the case for you though. I'm an RN who...

   Forgot about this post not sure if I even read the responses. My apologies. Thank you to Tango and NedRN for their explanations. At times I think about the Independent contractor but keep going back...

7. Help with instruments

   RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to cp24001's topic in Operating Room

   If you read the name in the book it may be what it is called in the OR and it may not. I started in the OR several years ago after doing ER nursing for many years and was overwhelmed at the names and...

8. How hard is it to maintain consecutive jobs as a traveler?

   RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to L&DNurseLMW's topic in Travel

   I would be cautious about accepting a position as staff without fully reading your employment contract, employee handbook and such with your travel agency. Most have a "non Compete" clause forbidding...

10. Can you truly save as a travel nurse?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to Williss2's topic in Travel

    The old adage "The more you make the more you spend" seems to be what happens to most. Everyone lives differently. If you can save a quarter of what you make now, you will probably be able to save...

11. RV advice

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to cryptic12's topic in Travel

    I agree with all NedRN wrote. If you have a permement place in addition to your RV, you "MAY" have a tax home, but most likely not it seems. Most of my initial beliefs were from speaking with Travel...

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to Heart2015FNP's topic in Operating Room

    Congrats. Did you take for yourself or at the encouragement of your employer? My problem with it is the enormous amount of CEU required to keep it up and then you have to take the test again. I don't...

13. RV's anyone???

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

    If you don't know about RV living, take a short vacation using one of the rentals. If you can survive a week or two in one of those you would most likely be OK in a "full time" style. So far I have...
