2. ACNP Preceptors?

   livingkennedy posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   So my school requires us to find our own preceptors, which I didn't think would be too much of an issue until I found out that they require the majority of them to be ACNPs, as I'm in the AG-ACNP...

3. Any hospitals that don't use vendor management?

   livingkennedy posted a topic in Travel

   I have started an agency and have been looking to get assignments but it seems that every single hospital uses VMS/MSP for supplemental staffing. Not only do they use it, but they require it. I have...

   livingkennedy replied to Wvurn15's topic in Critical Care

   While it may not make you like your job any more, perhaps it will reduce stress: Much of what you might be scared about in the ICU is taken care of by fundamental things. 9 out of 10 problems a...

6. Insurance for IC

   I got a quote for professional as well as business insurance through NSO which includes the general liability required by a lot of hospitals. I read that back in 2004 it was around 265 per year. I am...

   Thanks Ned. I didn't know if there were ways to get the money forwarded to the payroll service. Kinda like direct depositing from business to payroll service. On a somewhat different but related...

8. Payroll as IC

   livingkennedy posted a topic in Travel

   I have been looking into the payroll process, and it seems most ICs use a payroll service. I can't for the life of me find out how that works - the payroll websites give generic information. What I...

9. Most intense ICU you've travel to?

   livingkennedy replied to J&B-RN's topic in Travel

   I have experienced a bit of both. After years of experience even the sickest don't bring as much joy or intensity. I do like those patients more, but often I feel like what those hospitals do to some...

    This is a question for you IC nurses (Ned!): What items do you have to provide as your agency to HR? I have read I need drug screen, ACLS, BLS, PALS, background check?? Immunizations, TB test,...

12. Protecting yourself from cancelled contracts

    livingkennedy replied to livingkennedy's topic in Travel

15. Travel agency billing for OT

    livingkennedy posted a topic in Travel

    I was told by some people that if a travel agency supplies a nurse for more than full time hours in a week, the hospital has to pay the agency at 1.5x bill rate. Is this true? I would think they could...
