    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Thank you for the replies. I did go there for a week and took my youngest daughter to see Grandpa for the last time. I cannot go and just stay. As a travel nurse you have no PTO, No sick time, and no...

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to Nomad5150's topic in Travel

    You will have less taxes taken out of your paycheck but you may or may not pay less tax, depending on your personal situation. I'm still deciding what to do with my next contract. Hopefully my new...

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to godbless-yute's topic in Travel

    I don't want to discourage you from trying a travel assignment, but budgeting is the only way to pay down you school loans quickly. To do a budget you have to have and be able to maintain a minimum...

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to KYTinaMarie's topic in Travel

    All I can do is wish you good luck and fortune. I began traveling in 1989 as a new nurse. My first assignment asked me to extend before my 3rd week of a 13 week contract. I declined, wanted to "travel...

  8. Tax time, any pointers?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to curlygirl8's topic in Travel

  9. Which agency do you highly recommend for Travel Nursing and gives the best contract?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to Giveheart's topic in Travel

    No problem, don't mind sharing my thoughts in an open forum, just don't want to force someone else. I have no help with the immigration or visa processes. I know several Canadian Nurses but haven't...

  10. They canceled the contact after we're here!

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to poolela's topic in Travel

    I didn't say it would detract from quality of care. I just don't want to have to PAY FOR IT out of my pocket for something that would be no fault of my own. I experienced one of those events, also in...

  11. Which agency do you highly recommend for Travel Nursing and gives the best contract?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to Giveheart's topic in Travel

    If you are moving to South Florida, you might as well contact the hospitals where you would like to move to and find out if they are hiring. The fact you are buying a house tells me that you will not...

  12. Experience needed for travel nursing?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to lkpdx's topic in Travel

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to ericdb68's topic in Travel

    I have a friend who took a job with a hospital she had worked on contract. She quit that job when they started using travelers again but couldn't work there again as a traveler. Didn't find out about...

  14. Tax Free Help

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to LexieM's topic in Travel

    Contact a tax professional to be sure you qualify as a person who is able to have the "tax free" payments. You may be better off taking your salary as taxable income, especially if you plan to work...

  15. They canceled the contact after we're here!

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to poolela's topic in Travel

    I'm sorry Cay but I hope there isn't. Why would I want to pay more out of my pocket to protect me from being a good nurse honoring my commitment to the hospital, company and patients??? I am very...

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

  18. For those experienced travel nurses out there???????

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to Katybugg7's topic in Travel

    RED FLAG to the IRS. To qualify for "housing subsidy, non income tax pay" you have to meet three criteria. I won't type them here, but the travel agency will have a paper for you to sign indicating...

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Travel

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to bonesrn's topic in Travel

    This is a confusing post. Are you wanting to go to the Virgin Islands? It's not that hard to spell. Do you want to take a travel assignment to obtain a fulltime job? What does the Compact state...

  24. What about seeing your doctor

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to ditchdoc's topic in Travel

    There is no way around it. If you are required to see your Dr. before you can get your prescription then you must do it. Travel with that in mind and you will have no worries. Ignore it and you will...
