  1. RV's anyone???

    Had a very nice trip, put the transmission in Drive and let it do it's thing. Set the cruise control at the speed limit and if you don't turn the truck off it will return you to that speed at anytime....
  2. Naples hospitals?

    Heard through the grapevine that they cancelled all travel contracts last year. Ask about that if you are thinking of an
  3. RV's anyone???

    Preparing to depart Denver, hopefully just in time. Been a very nice summer, my first in Colorado. Would like to return. They are talking snow in the mountains today but nothing expected at my...
  4. Any L&D Nurses in Hawaii?

    I didn't work OB but spent almost a year at Kapiolani Hospital for Women and Children. Great place to work in the early 90's. I was in the ER and took many an expectant Mom to L&D in the basement...
  5. Calling all travelers, i have a question!

    If you have determined that it will take you two weeks of a 13 week contract to become "oriented, then maybe travel assignments aren't for you. If you are able to provide safe, effecient patient care...
  6. Travel Nursing

    RNcorazon, I sent you a
  7. RV's anyone???

    I am with All About Staffing. They are part of the HCA company and have the contracts with all HCA facilities. If you work at a HCA hospital and have another travel company they have to go through...
  8. RV's anyone???

    I wonder is anyone is still reading this? Last post to the topic in July. I only check it occasionally now. Will be heading South in a month. Have had a nice summer in Denver. Have found that I can go...
  9. Cross Country Healthcare Travel Nursing Review (2023)

    Worked for CCTC for a long time. Will NEVER again. Don't accept one of their "exclusive contracts" where they do the interview and you don't speak to anyone at the hospital before traveling a thousand...
  10. Dont Know Anything About Traveling - starting from scratch

    IMHO, you need to feel that you are a resource person in your current staff position. A person that new staff comes to when they have questions. Nursing care is nearly the same where ever you go but...
  11. Anyone ship their car cross country to a travel location?

    Can you pack your non perishable items in the car before shipping. I'd hate to loose all that space, of course maybe I take too
  12. Would you ever own a motorcycle? YES or NO?

    I ride everyday to and from downtown Denver to Golden. Very nice ride in the morning but a little busy on the way home. There is not a better way to enjoy the Rocky Mountains in my opinion. Sights,...
  13. health insurance for travelers

    Cobra is like 3 times more expensive than the original policy. I am at right around 200 a month but I am in my 50's so the prices go up. Should have started in my 40's but I just spent the money on...
  14. health insurance for travelers

    I pick up my own insurance and have the company pay what they would as the benefit as an extra check. Don't know if my tax person puts it in as extra income or if it's part of the perdiem. Make sure...
  15. I WANT TO WORK!!!

    Pick one company and call them daily. See if you are being "declined" for a specific reason or if they are sending you to places that have a lot of interest and few open positions. Make sure that you...
  16. To get license or not?

    Florida used to have a walk through option in Jacksonville, is that no longer an
  17. To get license or not?

    If you know you only want to go to Florida then go ahead. There is a very slight chance that positions may not be as plentiful as in the past but there will still be a need. I have read that some...
  18. Good opportunity or just getting screwed?

    The 50 mile rule is open for discussion with the IRS. If it's 50 miles across a mountain and there is no feasable way to commute it daily then it could be only 30 miles. Then there are people who make...
  19. what positions do I qualify?

    Start talking with recuiters. Get a skills check list and fill it out. Be honest, if you don't know what something is on the list don't pretend to. Some of the stuff listed is no longer current...
  20. RV's anyone???

    When it rains, it pours. Spent a couple days thinking "Should I have taken so much time off, should I have just purchased that truck?" Then I started getting calls and offers. First one was a number...
  21. RV's anyone???

    I wouldn't say terrible, have only been submitted for a week and on the phone daily with my recuiters for the past 3 days. Have had only one that declined and I am not sure why. The rest I am just...
  22. Which 5 companies should I shack up with?

    Unfortunatly finding the company you can work with is up to you. For me it's the recuiter. If they are responsive and informative I will stay with the company. Lots of times the recruiters move and I...
  23. RV's anyone???

    I have not ever been unable to find a spot to park. In south Florida last year I had to pay for a spot for almost a month before arriving just to ensure I would have it. The difficulty now is not...
  24. RV's anyone???

    For me there have been only a few "downsides". You have to find your own spot. (the housing department with the Travel company doesn't know much about campgrounds or RV parks). You really have to plan...
  25. Travel nurse vs. staff nurse

    You need to do what will make you happy. If you are unhappy and stressed out by not knowing about your next job then taking a staff position may be better for you . If you get tired of the local...
