1. Florida Compact License upgrade?

   gnovime replied to gnovime's topic in Florida

   But were you prompted to do the fingerprinting? I should probably just call them but didn't want to be on hold for hours. I was never prompted after the application to complete fingerprinting and there is no mention of that when I check the applicati...

3. Florida Compact License upgrade?

   gnovime posted a topic in Florida

   Has anyone done the application to upgrade to Florida Multi-State (compact/eNLC) license? I just completed it earlier today but it wasn't very clear on instructions. I completed and paid but it didn't tell me if I need to have fingerprinting done or ...

4. Confused about negotiations

   gnovime replied to CNOR11's topic in Travel

   Have you ever, or heard about someone else, renegotiated a contract mid-contract? For instance if you found out another traveler with the same company was getting a much better contract at the same facility/position/etc.

5. Confused about negotiations

   gnovime replied to CNOR11's topic in Travel

   There's a lot for me to like about the contract, more like than not, and it's the best paying contract I've seen so far (for my active states) and interview was great, facility seems like a good fit especially for my first travel assignment. It's jus...

6. Confused about negotiations

   gnovime replied to CNOR11's topic in Travel

   Do most travelers hardly negotiate their contracts? I'm looking to sign my first contract and some of the details didn't make sense to me like OT rate. I talked to a traveler that raves about the agency and has been with them 3 or so years. She's nev...

7. ICU travel nursing in South florida

   gnovime replied to vzcookie's topic in Travel

   I was looking in Central Florida, so I can imagine that South Florida was paying even less. Best thing to do though is if you really want it, sign up with some recruiters and get some quotes. Always better than anecdotal information. :) I'd keep my ...

8. ICU travel nursing in South florida

   gnovime replied to vzcookie's topic in Travel

   As someone who started in Chicago then moved to Florida, I can attest to a lot of that. You really only want to come to Florida if you want the experience more than the pay. I was an ICU nurse when I was in Chicago and ended up switching to home heal...

   I got contacted by a recruiter from an AMN subsidiary, should I avoid any AMN company for Kaiser or just American Mobile?

10. Confused about negotiations

    gnovime replied to CNOR11's topic in Travel

    Thanks Ned. Yeah I've been a free member on PanTraveler for years but now that I'm finally rolling along I might as well get the paid membership for a year. No floating worries for me as I'll be home health. Might be floated 50 miles out of my usual ...

11. Confused about negotiations

    gnovime replied to CNOR11's topic in Travel

    NedRN - Do you recommend doing the paid PanTravelers membership? I see it mentions you have access to their contract lawyer but hard to tell if that's truly useful or not. One of my recruiters is wanting to try to get me into Kaiser for my first tra...

12. Waiting for a travel assignment

    gnovime replied to ANNIENURSEANGEL's topic in Travel

    Aiming for one specific location will definitely limit you, more so if you're only working with one agency. Your best bet might to be look at seasonal jobs since high season is about to hit Florida, then you're also cutting out the middle man and wor...

13. Licensing with/after CA

    gnovime replied to gnovime's topic in Travel

    Thanks Wolf, yeah it was actually reading your post that first got me thinking about the CA license and verification consequences, however CA is my priority which is why I didn't want to save till last. That's why I'm hoping that applying to NY and M...

14. Licensing with/after CA

    gnovime replied to gnovime's topic in Travel

    Well my goal is to be able to start looking at assignments by November so will still do everything I can to expedite the CA license. Might just have to bite the bullet on the CA license verification but maybe I'll get lucky :)

15. Licensing with/after CA

    gnovime replied to gnovime's topic in Travel

    I've already booked my flight to Sacramento it's in 2 weeks, so the next 2 days I'm working on getting my applications in for the other states. You think that should still work for timing? Also should I go ahead and initiate the Nursys verification f...
