  2. Am I dreaming?

    pbajil replied to bernal4eva's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have worked with a lot of travel nurses who do this. Never met anyone who took 6 months off. But definitely 3 months is not a problem. When you work with a travel agency, it's usually a 3-4 month...

    pbajil replied to LadyAries0021's topic in Home Health
