DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. THEY ARE TURNING OUT TO BE A BAIT AND SWITCH OPERATION. Need to vent a little. If you had gone to Travel Nurse Depot.com and put in your company requirements,which for me included a 3% 401k match Axis popped up with links to ...

:madface::madface:The personal check my recruiter sent me for travel expenses BOUNCED!!!!!. My bank charged me $10. My health ins was finally cancelled. Stay away from this company.They apparently cannot get it togeather. They are not taking CA taxes...

Check out Medhunters.com Good luck.

Re the Dilaudid dose,this seems like a small dose for pain control in a Ca patient. In the ER we usually give 1-2 mg. Sometimes more..

I have also driven cross country several time and always try to stay in a Motel 6.Pet friendly,no pet fee,they don't seem to care about the dogs size either.[i have a 70lb lab mix].They are a no frills chain,but usually you just need somewhere to sle...

Agree with the driving part,I just got back from CA [also live in Atlanta ],my 1997 Firebird has 116,000 miles on it and never had a problem.I always have it serviced before a long trip,have my mechanic check hoses and belts etc. I will leave for CA ...

Why not just sign on with a CA hospital rather than using an agency?.Basically cut out the middle man.. I did a travel assignment initially to scope out the area. Once it was over I got a job at another local hospital. $57/hr for 3-11 shift + full b...

I got pulled over while in CA as my licence plate light was out.He also informed me that the plastic plate covers are illegal in CA He was very nice about it,no ticket.He asked if I was moving to CA,I explained I was a travel nurse and would be worki...

All ER's have at least one Doc like that. It's called C.Y.A...

Totally agree with other posters...You need at LEAST one year,preferably two years experience before thinking about travel. As a traveler you will be expected to jump right in with minimal orientation. And be expected to know what you are doing,which...

As one ER Doc I worked with said,"There's never any bones outside the ER" They always find a ride..

You sound totally "wishy-washy"...ICU is to 'boring' you have to be too "focused'.. In the ER,you'd better be bloody "focused' if you have a crashing patient. Don't run off and read about it,follow orders from experienced nurses and see how they do i...

I had looked into this at one point. Recieved a letter from the French Nursing Board,you are acceptable if you are fluent in French.

My favourite is the CN saying "I don't know who's going to take that pt". Why not?. Lets see,4 empty beds,at shift start CN says,Nurse A you get first admission,Nurse B,2nd etc,etc..Not rocket science.. ER nurses wouldn't have to call at shift chang...

Told my recruiter about the bounced check. Most apologetic,husband forgot to transfer funds etc.. Just recieved another check + my $10 bank charge. Taking advice from a friend who came to CA and started job hunting.Took her a month. She suggested doi...

I drove from Atlanta to Monterey at the beginning of May.It took me 6 days,that included a 2 night stay in Santa Fe. Agree with other poster,keep plenty of water in the car,I freeze several 2L soda bottles before the drive. My dog also drinks it. C...

Wish I'd thought of this but it was an RT idea.... "Non compliant patients should be an automatic DNR"

I am in the process of finding a travel job and two recruiters rave about this. Of course they talk like used car salesmen at 90mph,so it's hard to keep up!! Do I have this right?. Say you make $30/hr,you are only taxed on the first $10,not taxed on ...

Thanks for all the comments and input.The company I have taken an assignment with does the TA.. It will only be for 13 weeks,so you can believe I will be keeping ALL reciepts and paperwork [i usually do anyway for tax time] And I only intend to do t...

Hollister,about 40 miles East of Monteray.It's a 9 bed ER that sees approx 50 pts/day. Kinda looking forward to the rest as where I am now we see approx 200/day. Where were you?.

How long have you been with Axis?. I have just accepted an assignment with them in CA.Did you have any problems at all?.

I am going to take a CA travel assignment. Has anyone worked ER at Natividad Hospital in Salinas or Sierra Med Center in Grass Valley?. These are the first two hospital choices I"ve been given so far. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

Where I am now is the only ER I"ve EVER worked that will take sick floor pts when ICU is full. Sometimes PACU will take them,depending on their census.But if they feel too BUSY! they will refuse!!!. This is where the house sup should step in and mak...

Thanks for the info. I've nixed the NMC job as they wanted someone who would float to ICU and Med Surg..
