    Get all the training you can before you begin traveling. The more you can do the more jobs that are available. You will not be trained while on a travel

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to Cranzy's topic in Travel

  11. RV's anyone???

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to 1dragnet's topic in Travel

    I worked at Kapiolani in the ER for almost a year. Was with MRA staffing at the time. MRA has since merged with CCTC. Housing was different. Won't be like you have on the mainland. I had to have a...

  19. Does anyone do their own taxes?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to kenesha212002's topic in Travel

    I have used the same program. Won't know till an audit if it was worth it. Of course if you are honest with the program it should figure correctly. You can be dishonest with a tax preparer and still...

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

    Guess no one wants to reply. A few lookers but no responses. Was hoping for a response from everyone indicating that the amount paid for travel does not come close to covering the expense. I (and...
