I am planning on doing the same thing, resigning while on orientation. I have always worked days, I will pick up an occasional evening when needed, but I am not a night worker. (Hats off to those of...
I would like to obtain my BSN, and possibly more, while traveling. There are tons of online programs so I would like to know what are travelers favorites. I am sure there are tons of posts about it...
So I am looking into maybe getting my New York license and Mass license. I have my home state (which is a compact ) and I also have my California license. For Mass it states all licenses need to be...
Anyone know of a quick way to have California verify your license? Can I go to Sacramento and hand them the paperwork and check for $100 and have it completed faster or just mail it in? Thanks...
I understand they don't want to get penalized, was just wondering what people have dealt with. I can not fathom that a nurse in good faith would take an extreme number of patients that you can not...
14-19 patient to nurse ratio......That seems extreme and extremely unsafe! I can not imagine that that is acceptable anywhere or that a nurse would actually take that many
Do you have to complete the child abuse class? I think there was another one or maybe just that one but I am guessing you have to complete it also. It really doesn't say on the website for...
I have decided to take an assignment in Tucson, AZ!! Very excited, first one!! Anyone have any information on the area. Any travelers that have been here recently have recommendations on housing?...
Just got my California license via endorsement and I must say I have heard horror stories but I had NO ISSUES !! I did do the live scan, I am currently in AZ and went to Cali for a few days to...
Hello all Travelers!! Has anyone shipped there car across country before? I am on the East coast and plan on doing a bit of assignments on the west coast beginning in mid November. I really would...

I have heard plenty a horror story on the wait for getting your license from California. I did a contract in Arizona and while there I went to California and had the live scan done. I had sent all...

Hi!! I am just finishing my first travel assignment! I had a pretty good experience with mine. Once my recruiter submitted my info I talked with the facility that night and she told me over the phone...
I just saw this post and was wondering about Sunrise and what you mean by no lab? I am used to starting my own IVs but there are those occasional that are just difficult, what do they do in that...
I have decided I am moving into the world of travel nursing!! Very excited and nervous as everyone can imagine. For my first assignment I was thinking Texas. I am not sure why but that's what is...
Wow, thanks to all. I am still deciding between Texas and Arizona. Of course there is always good and bad experiences for everyone somewhere. I am not starting until end of February beginning of...
I wish I would have thought about that when I was there last month. Another quick question... Is the attire for the actual seminars business casual? I am assuming it is but you know what they say...
I am going. I tried to go last year but it was already sold out. I am very excited for the Newbie Seminar they have since I am not yet a travel nurse. Lots of questions I have...:) For California...
