I am a traveler nothing more. See my free website I started to help travelers out. Click on (survey) or (survey results) The survey's keep coming in with your help, and I keep adding them to the site. Before you take an assigment look to see what oth...
I am currently traveling at a hospital in Florida. In the interview they had asked me, there will be some floating to other units. They certainly didn't clarify how much. I know it depends on the hospitals needs and travelers do float first. Wor...

I have heard the Arizona and California are great. I grew up in Florida and it kind of scares me down here. I nursed in Homestead, Miami, now traveling in orlando. Florida Hospitals in Orlando are good, but stay away from there sister hospitals in...

I worked in Canada for the past 5 years. I am not sure if they do travel assignments at the time I couldn't find any. But I do know from the hard way, that if you contact the hospital's human resources and tell them what you are trying to do, they ...
I have been an RN for 9 years, nursed in Canada for 5 years, now a traveler. When my husband gets his green card we will settle down. He's a stay at home dad and I work. I am new to traveling and have found some bumps in the road with some jobs that ...

That's ashame you have that many patients, where I work the nursing assistants will get no more than 4-5 patients during 7-3. There is no aquity so sometimes they will get 4-5 heavy's while another CNA will get 5 walkie talkies. If I have the time,...

I here you, but I am afraid it's going to get worse with the "nursing shortage"... Hopefully not. The travel assignment that I am on now, has me floating after 8 hrs, to different units throughout the hospital daily, even to the hospital down the ro...
I just moved back to the states from Canada and am up in the air about JCAHO hospitals. I work in a JCAHO Florida Hospital. First of all, this hospital is always on the verge of not passing their guidelines. I find that this hospital is so caught ...

I share your aggravation like I'm sure others do. I am a traveling nurse, but every assignment I give it my all, and I find myself not a very confrontational or assertive person at times until I am pushed to my maximum. I think sometimes it would b...
I completed an EMT class, and at the time I worked at the Firehouse and did volunteer firefighting. I found it very fascinating and it was easier working with guys. I was on the fence should I go to school to become a paramedic or nursing. I wante...
