    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

    How long do you want to stay in one place? Living in a Class C for very long would be one hundred times longer feeling, especially if there are 4 children. My fifth wheel toyhauler is fine for my...

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to StudentNurse3016's topic in Travel

    You can probably find companies that will talk to you without having a full year of experience, but finding a hospital that will accept you is a completely different story. I wouldn't even try it now....

  15. Cross Country vs. American Mobile

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to jack4408's topic in Travel

    I cannot say anything good about Cross Country. If you are confused by the money then the recruiter will be getting their bonus. Make sure you understand what money is coming to you and what you may...

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

    Use the resources of the travel company to assist in locating a spot. I haven't used them yet but have heard the housing specialist may have more than just appartment contacts in their Rolodex. I...

  18. Question about housing stipend, per diem and taxes

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to kat29's topic in Travel

    19.50 is not a good pay rate anywhere that I know of. Even if you are getting to claim the perdiem rates. It's all smoke and mirrors when it comes to getting the best rate from the travel companies....

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to MJN2007's topic in Travel

    I agree with Alisabeth, just don't take all the jobs away from us older nurses. I don't know what I will do if I have to stop traveling. Get comfortable with what you know. Don't be afraid to admit...
