  1. Delphi Forum

    LadyNASDAQ posted a topic in Travel

    Unfortunately, Delphi charges to host a Forum. That is silly IMHO but anyways. I have seen many post and encourage new Travelers to post and respond. My sincere warning is to lurk on Travel Nurses...

    Culinary Chef. I'm 50 y/o and wished I was younger because I should have considered a second career,not sure if I still should think about

  3. Burnout rate-experienced nurses reply

    LadyNASDAQ replied to sassyrn333's topic in MICU, SICU

    I've worked 28 out of 30 years in Critical Care and trust me, in the past if I wanted to move on, I did. I left my staff job 9 years ago to become a travel nurse and that was ideal. Now the economy is...

  4. Thinking about NOT signing another contract!

    LadyNASDAQ replied to nursetmj's topic in Travel

    I have been a Nurse for 30 years and have been traveling on and off for the last 9 years so my advice is on the money... you do NOT give verbal permission for an extension and you do NOT sign any...

    LadyNASDAQ replied to KateSICURN's topic in Travel

    I have been in orientation since last week in Orlando and both another RN and I were cancelled. Both of us have been Nurses 30 years and there are just no guarantees that an assignment will be...

  11. Travel Nursing

    LadyNASDAQ replied to ailailuj44's topic in Travel

    You want at least 3 years for most companies. Two isn't going to get you into most hospitals. My advice is stay staff, really hone your skills because some hospitals aren't easy to work in and you...

  12. Show me the money!!!

    LadyNASDAQ replied to biteme's topic in Travel

    May I make a suggestion? You're smart to take the assignment but then you want to rake it in so you also sign up with a local agency and add a couple of shifts here and there and you'll have the green...

  13. Anyone know a good travel company?

    LadyNASDAQ replied to K. RN's topic in Travel

    My first assignemnt was with American Mobile. My goodness, they were so good to me and when I extended, I had unexpected bonuses added. I was very happy with them and always recommend them. If you...

    LadyNASDAQ replied to merae's topic in Travel

  16. Driving and Travel Assignments

    LadyNASDAQ replied to jellybeanmead's topic in Travel

    When I went to Calif. back in 2004 for the first time, I shipped my car and I was very happy that I did that because I stayed in Cali for 9 months. It was a very enjoyable contract and I think in...

  17. Possible move to Fl. Lot's of questions

    LadyNASDAQ replied to markas214's topic in Florida Nursing

    I think you don't know too much about staff salaries in Florida. You are being paid what an Open Heart Nurse gets in a specialized Unit. You won't get above $30/hr. staff in those areas you are able...

  18. court ruling affects all RN'S

    LadyNASDAQ replied to rnpatrick's topic in Agency Nurses

    It may not be what you want to hear but I think this is a good idea to get rid of dangerous Nurses and as far as price fixing, they know that many Nurses won't work for low wages so they'll have to...

  19. Las Vegas for 24.00

    LadyNASDAQ replied to Michellex1013's topic in Travel

    I'd definitely pick my season. Summer is a good 120 degrees for days. Winter gets cold so plan on Spring or Fall for temp/climate. Shop this carefully. Also, you may want to find your own housing and...

  20. No Primary Residence...License State??

    LadyNASDAQ replied to AUMPsychRN's topic in Travel

    I think you're Intinerant and you have no tax base. You can go that route or be looking to get a cheapo apt. somewhere. My pick would be Panama City, FL. because I know that rent is cheap and the area...

  21. Longing to Travel

    LadyNASDAQ replied to SueBell's topic in Travel

    We have a single Mother who is a traveler in our ICU as we speak. She is doing great. You have an advantage of a husband being there. Just treat it all like you're home. If you need child care, do a...

    LadyNASDAQ replied to lee1's topic in Travel

    I have a friend who lives in TX. He's a night shift ICU Nurse and does as many stikes as possible and fills in with travel and some local agency during the Holidays. He makes over 6 figs and is doing...

  23. Should I work for an agency??

    I did exactly that when I was a LPN many years ago. I was a LPN about 3 years or so first then went back for my RN. Total of 28 yrs. doing Nursing. I have been working travel contracts and you know,...

  24. How do your significant others handle it?

    LadyNASDAQ replied to Jesskanurse's topic in Travel

    I work travel part of the year. Almost every Nurse I work with is married with older kids. They call in the am on break. Many take shorter assignments so they may be away 8 instead of 13 weeks but not...

  25. Questions for Experienced Travelers

    LadyNASDAQ replied to AUMPsychRN's topic in Travel

    First off, every agency offers something different. I'm divorced and would take my Mom with me who I wouldn't leave alone. It's a piece of cake once you know what you want and need. For me, I want to...
