  1. RV's anyone???

    RNERHOUSESUPOR posted a topic in Travel

    Haven't traveled for almost 7 years. Am contemplating a return. Don't want to do the extensive move every thirteen weeks thing I did in 1990's and am thinking I want to purchase a "Toy Hauler" to...

  2. Anyone Heard of Medefis?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR posted a topic in Travel

    I took a job last summer and they asked me to return this spring. The company I was placed with last year was new to me and really didn't have anything to keep me with them. Besides I have been to the...

  3. Best credit card for travelers- most rewards

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to thelema13's topic in Travel

    Can't stand to see a post that doesn't have at least one comment. Credit cards are very private and personal. What may work for you, may not work for others. My philosophy is, put on your Credit Card...

  4. travel nurse partner

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to tvm4315's topic in Travel

    If you are afraid to travel alone, maybe Travel isn't for you. Trying to get two people a job at the same place may be very difficult. What if one of you gets the better shift. How will that affect...

  5. Jumping back into travel

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to ERjunkie38's topic in Travel

    Can't tell you about travel in the ED any more, but can tell you that Travel Nursing has probably changed in the past 5 years. I am currently an atypical travel nurse (at least in my mind) I have been...

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to SheilaORN's topic in Travel

    Oh the memories. Highland Hospital was my first assignment and my First Nursing job in 1989. It was shortly after the earthquake and at the beginning of the Aid's epidemic and Crack Cocaine. I...

  7. Scrub Nurse vs Scrub Techs

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to Heart2015FNP's topic in Operating Room

    Just do your best, don't get into a you vs them situation. You are only responsible for what you do, not what they tell you to do. Don't expect them to set up the case for you though. I'm an RN who...

  8. Anyone Heard of Medefis?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

    Forgot about this post not sure if I even read the responses. My apologies. Thank you to Tango and NedRN for their explanations. At times I think about the Independent contractor but keep going back...

  9. Help with instruments

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to cp24001's topic in Operating Room

    If you read the name in the book it may be what it is called in the OR and it may not. I started in the OR several years ago after doing ER nursing for many years and was overwhelmed at the names and...

  10. How hard is it to maintain consecutive jobs as a traveler?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to L&DNurseLMW's topic in Travel

    I would be cautious about accepting a position as staff without fully reading your employment contract, employee handbook and such with your travel agency. Most have a "non Compete" clause forbidding...

  12. Can you truly save as a travel nurse?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to Williss2's topic in Travel

    The old adage "The more you make the more you spend" seems to be what happens to most. Everyone lives differently. If you can save a quarter of what you make now, you will probably be able to save...

  13. RV advice

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to cryptic12's topic in Travel

    I agree with all NedRN wrote. If you have a permement place in addition to your RV, you "MAY" have a tax home, but most likely not it seems. Most of my initial beliefs were from speaking with Travel...

  14. Passed the CNOR exam

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to Heart2015FNP's topic in Operating Room

    Congrats. Did you take for yourself or at the encouragement of your employer? My problem with it is the enormous amount of CEU required to keep it up and then you have to take the test again. I don't...

  15. RV's anyone???

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

    If you don't know about RV living, take a short vacation using one of the rentals. If you can survive a week or two in one of those you would most likely be OK in a "full time" style. So far I have...

  16. Hawaii, anyone?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to InnaL's topic in Travel

    Be sure you have everything in writing, are happy with your housing options and have enough money to get you there and back to the mainland. If you are used to public transportation you may do fine...

    When I owned my home and traveled for a couple years. I would turn off the water, set the thermostat to it's lowest heat setting and put a light and the TV on a timer. Did that for two winters and all...

  18. AS to BSN while traveling?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to Travel_RNER's topic in Travel

    If you want to do your BSN then by all means go for it. You can do it as a travel nurse or staff. I haven't seen where anyone is paid significantly more for having though. When I finished my ADN in...

  19. Are travel jobs listed on more than one site?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to JadamR15's topic in Travel

    Check out Medifis, I posted a question about it earlier. Apparently , it's a clearing house for companies and hospitals. One job gets listed with all member companies. According to one hospital...

  20. San Francisco Housing

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to meandragonbrett's topic in Travel

    I stayed at the Apartment Complex "Bayside Village". It was just off the Bay Bridge on the Embarccadaro (sic). That was in the early 90's though. New nice place then. First time paid extra for a...

  21. Anyone travel without having a tax home?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to tlc365's topic in Travel

    Contact a Tax Professional for answers on Tax Questions. They are the only one's that will defend you in case of an Audit. (unless you want to do it yourself). It really doesn't matter if you own home...

  22. RV's anyone???

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

    Not really, maybe just a bit lazy. I come back to Florida to be near my youngest daughter. Have been to the same facility for the past 5 years and it's pretty easy to fit back in. Am doing a return in...

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to adpiRN's topic in Travel

    God I hope so. Can you imagine an all BSN hospital?? Just kidding, I have worked with some very good nurses who were BSN and some who were not so good. I appreciate the added education, if that's how...
