Dear Board, I am an intermittent R.N. traveler, (NICU), I own a condo in Lexington, Kentucky. I have a 15 plus years, needy, cat who I love dearly. He barely tolerates going by car, but I can cope with that, (a third of his body hair fell out the first time when he traveled by car, he is a long haired cat). He cried incessantly, even with Feliway, and sedation, but adjusted within a week of arrival. His hair grew back nicely. I am hesitant to take him on a plane. He cries a lot and loudly to get his way, even at home. I often joke that he has more control over me than I like to admit! It is one thing for me to put up with it in a car by myself, but a lot to ask other people to deal with it. The cost for him to get a health certificate at his age is expensive and I am on slim funds until my next assignment. I think he would just about die in a cargo hold, (I'm not kidding). I do not have family where I live who can keep him and he would not do well with other cats. He has only lived with me. What has been other's experience with cats on a plane?

Dear Nurses, What is it like to work for Nurse's RX? I have been very satisfied with the contract, pay, and housing with OA, but they don't have much available that is closer to Kentucky. I own a home and do not want to travel to California etc. with a 15 year old cat. Thanks.
