  1. Money $ or Happiness :-) Please OR Nurses. I need advice. Should I Leave the ED?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to vblaides's topic in Operating Room

    I'm a previous ER Nurse and am very glad things worked out that I don't have to do that any more. Working 3 to 11 is no fun though. Am doing it on a travel contract right now and can't wait to be...

  2. I need the DIRT on travel nursing!

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNof2011's topic in Travel

    Thanks Ruby Well written.

  3. First travel assignment for 1 year experience RN -HELP!

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to jsallen's topic in Travel

    I agree with having to feel comfortable with your recruiter, if they say "You Have Too" then I say NO YOU HAVE TO find some one else because I am done with you. There are way too many companies out...

  4. Would I be a candidate for travel nursing?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to beachyfe's topic in Travel

    I would recommend getting back to at least part time nursing on the specialty unit you feel the most comfortable with. You can do that for a few months and have a feel for what you need. Doing a two...

  5. RV's anyone???

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

    No, you must have a home away from your travel assignment and it must qualify as a tax home to be able to deduct expenses and some of the taxes. Contact a Tax Professional before allowing an Agency to...

  7. 1st time traveler.

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to MarenHill13's topic in Travel

    Not in the first one to two days but have seen a couple let go after a week or two. I had the misfortune of being let go once after a week. It is not a good feeling and can be quite expensive. The...

  8. 1st time traveler.

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to MarenHill13's topic in Travel

    Hopefully it's really just confusing to you right now and not "Overwhelming". The confusion will get better once you decide what is important to you in an assignment. If it's really overwhelming or...

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to AMANSVIEW's topic in Travel

    I worked in Brandon many years ago. The housing was within walking distance, almost right across the street. I worked ER. It was a town of young people back then, don't know about now, everyone would...

  10. Interested in traveling, but need some advice.

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to laughingthrutheday's topic in Travel

    My suggestion is if you are sure you are moving there, don't take a travel assignment. The companies will talk you into a low pay situation and a lot of "tax free money" then you will stay for over a...

  11. Travel Pay in the Bay Area

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to murphyaj115's topic in Travel

    My first assignment in the Bay Area in 1989 paid me $18.00 an hour, I took the free housing, no perdiem pay but got a $3000 completion bonus at the end. (minus taxes). Oh, and travel pay was zz/per...

  12. Quit my permanent job to do travel nursing?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to Nur-C's topic in Travel

    Personally I don't think it's a good idea for you. This is just my opinion from reading your post. I hit too many red flags as I was reading. Thinking that travel nursing is more money is really not...

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to Levimiller2000's topic in Travel

    $250 a month for lot rent? you have to pay electric for that don't you?? I stayed in a Mobile home park for $220 a month once but had to cut the grass, pay the electric and shovel the snow.

  16. What about insurance between assignments?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to vcurrent2's topic in Travel

    I know the new regulations are supposed to make it easier for those with "pre existing conditions" able to obtain health insurance but I don't have personal experience in this. In the early days of...

  17. RV's anyone???

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

    Here are some more photos of the rig. Still a work in progress but hopefully nearing completion soon. Considering the final toyhauler but need to wait a bit to determine what else are "have to"...

  18. Thoughts on Traveling?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to hkLD5150's topic in Travel

    Lot's of information already on this site. Remember your personal choices are yours alone. People can always say "you should have done it this way", but you didn't, couldn't or wouldn't. I have...

  19. Travel Group?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to Can_Dan's topic in Travel

    My first assignment in October 1989 was the closest to being in a "group". There were 4 other travel nurses working in the ER of the hospital and a few others in ICU and the OR. We had a loose knit...

  20. RV's anyone???

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

    Thanks for your comment. Good luck in school.

  21. RV's anyone???

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

    I only took a week off( Most of that used up in travel). Being home meant I was set up in a new place for a while again. I am close enough to "Home Base" that I plan on going there every weekend while...

  22. Do you change your drivers license?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to MJB2010's topic in Travel

    Let him know that you are on a temporary assignment and unless you plan to relocate to the area you are not required to change your drivers license. You only have to obey the local laws regarding a...

  23. Tucson Medical Center

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to gsusavz's topic in Travel

    Is it still an "exclusive contract" with CCTC? Good luck hope yours works out better than my OR contract did.

  24. RV's anyone???

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

    You can say that again about the $300. My trip had a $600 unexpected tire bill and replacement of two air bags for another $600. Top that off with $800 in fuel. I am home now for at least three...

  25. RV's anyone???

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

    ER's in the smaller areas can be more stressful than in the big city. No trauma center, no peds hospital , you see it all. Don't really miss the ER. Glad I was able to get into the OR and now have the...
