I am a telemetry nurse from CA and have a little over 2 years experience. Over the last few months I've been preparing for some travel assignments and have obtained licenses in Hawaii and Florida, in addition to obtaining licenses that are pending in...

That is definitely the scenario i experienced this morning. I finally interviewed for a position in NYC. There were a couple of short interview questions, followed by me asking a ton of questions about the unit / facility, etc.. Straight from the ...

That's a bummer, what unit, hospital, agency? I was looking forward to doing a travel assignment there this winter.

Anyone have an idea about what the ratios are on Telemetry? Especially at Lutheran Medical Center?

Ned is like an encyclopedia on travel nursing and definitely right on. Look for at least 2 years experience in addition to having a few travel jobs under your belt in order to work in Hawaii as a travel RN. At least this is what the agencies tell m...

I don't know why but it really annoys me when I call some of these agencies and they ask, "So, what made you want to get into travel nursing?" But as said in many other posts, talk to the recruiters feel them out. I am looking for positions in New ...

How's that ratio in dallas? I'm heading to NYC next month and expecting the ratios to be somewhere around 5-6. Nurses do over there somehow, that's what I keep telling myself at least.

I'm currently awaiting a NY license which I should have by next week. I am planning on being in NYC mid to late July for 3 months. PM me and we can exchange facebook info.

The BEST website you should use for finding housing in NYC is streeteasy.com. You can search what area of Manhattan, price range, furnished, amenities, etc. Check it out! I've already found some places in my price range. I'll be there starting so...

This has the Virgin Islands paying more than California? From everything I have read that doesn't sound right.

There is definitely something to say about a company that can't keep staff. Just like hospitals who need travel staff.

Alright, what smaller agencies are you likely to use?

ATI is the worst one out there second is hurst. I have found that some questions and answers contradict each other. Kaplan online questions bank is the best, definitely worth the money.

You're doing fine! I studied Saunders for patho, and did the Kaplan test bank online. I remember my scores were similar to 40-50%. I ended up passing the NCLEX-RN in 85 questions. The kaplan online test bank was the best thing I used to study for...

Yeah, California BRN is expensive and takes forever! Even when I have called them on occasion, the message will sometimes say we are busy, call back later, and just hang up on me with no option to hold. Although they did get my Hawaii endorsement o...

I just started figuring out this whole travel game this year. I applied to and received licenses in Hawaii and Florida. I am now working on licenses for Alaska, New York, Massachusetts, and Virgin Islands. I would plan on applying for the states y...

The bummer about fastaff is that it seems as though most of those assignments are 4 days a week!

Any updates on your assignment? I'm working on getting my VI license right now, just about to mail it in today. I'm planning on tele / MS / PCU. Also what travel agency did you use?

How was your trip to AK? Did you end up going?

I am waiting acceptance into one of many nursing programs, however, I heard clinical experience is key to nursing sucess. Does anyone know if it is worth it to become a Certified Phlebotomy Tech in order to gain clinical experience in a hospital? Als...

do you know what areas use phlebotomists and cnas? i was reading other posts and someone said that she had a real advantage being a cna and a phlebotomist. would i have an easier time getting a cna job if i was a certified phlebotomist?

So you didn't want to become a nurse until you worked as a phlebotomist? How tough is it to get a job? I thought that there is an intership period and that a person would most likely get hired at the place he/she did the intership.

Yeah I got my deial letter today. Good luck! Please tell me about the TEAS test, structure and what percentage you got on it. Thanks!

You already got your letter???? When do you have to take the TEAS test? Do you think they're stilll sending out more letters?
