  1. Hawaii Travel Assignment

    LadyNASDAQ replied to MidwifeMom's topic in Travel

    Are you on night shift and do they still do the rotating

  2. What is the specialty with the most travel opportunies

    LadyNASDAQ replied to ONMELD's topic in Travel

    ICU has the most jobs. Also, if you can float to Tele and Med-Surg like I can, the hospitals will grab you first because you can float wherever you are needed. Ill do ER in a pinch as

  3. Travel Nursing At Home

    LadyNASDAQ replied to FocusRN's topic in Travel

    I did this and would you believe it was a 2 1/2 year contract where the 13 week assignments were back to back? Every 13 weeks I was receiving a $1000 bonus. The pay was about the same as local agency...

  4. Desperately wanting Hawaii Assignment

    LadyNASDAQ replied to RNmegan84's topic in Travel

    Do this job your way. If I wanted to work in Hawaii, I would work local agency contract, go to Craigslist and get my own housing. Trust me, you will make more money this way and have fewer headaches....

  5. Experienced RN looking for answers

    LadyNASDAQ replied to NICURNMB's topic in Travel

    I would be very cautious about tax advantage. First, if you had an accident and had to be on disability you would be receiving payments based on that low rate of pay. Second, you're not paying in...

  6. Best Specialty for Travel Nursing?

    LadyNASDAQ replied to james3RN's topic in Travel

    My advice to you is rent a RV, don't buy one. Many advantages and you'll know if you want to work like this or not. For me, I'd rather have a comfortable apt., get a rental car from the company and...

  7. how many hours?

    LadyNASDAQ replied to bradleyshanetaylor's topic in Travel

    I usually work a 48 hr. week when I travel because this is the norm of the agency set up. I'd rather have a 36 hr. week but that isn't always possible. I am right now working local agency per diem and...

  8. Is it a good move to straight for RN?

    LadyNASDAQ replied to sar4tee's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should go the BSN route because there may be a problem later where this may be a requirement and you'll be safe. Also, it would be finished and over

  9. Advice for married traveling first-timers?

    LadyNASDAQ replied to jhall0515's topic in Travel

    I love posts like these! I have a lot of travel experience as well and I'd also like to join you and help as

  10. "onassignment" housing stipend!!!!

    LadyNASDAQ replied to AfghaniPrinzess's topic in Travel

    I work for them and they are as honest as they say they are. The contract is very upfront but read the contract in full. If you cancel, you will be out some money so be sure that taking this contract...

  11. Itinerant nursing question

    LadyNASDAQ replied to Randyccrn2b's topic in Travel

    Your idea is a limiting one. I say this because you may or may not have a place to park your RV so easily. Also, being Itinerant has its pluses and minuses so before you do this realize where you can...

  12. Calling off

    LadyNASDAQ replied to Fancy Face's topic in Agency Nurses

    Here's the scoop on this... if the hospital is busy and you are a habitual canceller, the hospital after awhile won't take your shifts seriously and you risk the possibility of not being used for...

  13. Dnr

    LadyNASDAQ replied to Fancy Face's topic in Agency Nurses

    Yes in very rare cases where stratification forms are used. I know HCA hospitals use these and they are

  14. Negotiating travel contracts

    LadyNASDAQ replied to drscepura's topic in Travel

    The reason that they do this is because experienced Travelers negotiate for wages, bennies and also for travel pay/housing. They pay whatever the experienced Nurses want or they lose them. I know, I...

  15. Roseville

    LadyNASDAQ posted a topic in California Nursing

    Can anyone tell me if they've worked there before? I am thinking of moving to either Roseville or

  16. What is the specialty with the most travel opportunies

    LadyNASDAQ replied to ONMELD's topic in Travel

    I work in all the ICU's. Haven't had any problem getting work from travel or local agency

  17. Mail service

    LadyNASDAQ replied to 11:11's topic in Travel

    When I go on a travel assignment, I put my mail on vacation hold for 2 weeks and then forward as a temp forward. This way I get my mail without any huge bills to pay which is ridiculous. My credit...

  18. What are the huge "DO NOT EVER DO" things that new nurses need to know about? calling

    LadyNASDAQ replied to katiebugg's topic in General Nursing

    First thing is listen, talk and if you don't like someone you're working with, do a 180 and don't get into verbal confrontations. I can't stress getting along with your charge nurse but also knowing...

  19. HELP!!!!Inability to swallow.....

    LadyNASDAQ replied to mamason's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    Sounds like you did everything perfectly and you are a safe Nurse. Don't sweat it. You thought he would aspirate. That's enough right

  20. What would you do? Resident assaulted me.

    LadyNASDAQ replied to bshaw96's topic in Agency Nurses

    Go to the Administrator's office. This is very important because it must be reported immediately. From there, anyone could have been assaulted or even raped. He may need to go for Psych

  21. Is it just me or are agency nurses not treated very nicely?

    LadyNASDAQ replied to AmyRN1227's topic in Agency Nurses

    You need to assert yourself and work with the Charge Nurse more. They need you to fill in their lack of a staff Nurse and you're there to help. You say that you are here to help for the day. Let your...

  22. ALL About Staffing - HCA hospitals

    LadyNASDAQ replied to michnurse12's topic in Travel

    This is the trend that most ICU's are facing if they aren't

  23. ALL About Staffing - HCA hospitals

    LadyNASDAQ replied to michnurse12's topic in Travel

    The problem here is that my pay is in the 40's per hr. That proves to be a problem saying that I would NEVER work for them again. Meanwhile it has been a long 14 years of service approximately or so...

  24. ALL About Staffing - HCA hospitals

    LadyNASDAQ replied to michnurse12's topic in Travel

    I have been working for HCA for many years. They can be hard hospitals to work for but I still feel that pay is good if you are a person that is loyal to them. I am working a local agency contract...

    LadyNASDAQ replied to sandals's topic in Travel

    I work ICU. I can work Tele and Med Surg in a pinch but I am specialized in all the ICU's. I only work day shifts. I have been fingerprinted coast to coast
