  1. Do travel nurse agencies require local travel before state-to-state travel??

    nursinadream replied to godbless-yute's topic in Travel

    No, you are not required to have "local" travel first. If you're planning on a March start for your first travel assignment I suggest putting away some money, like a couple months expenses if you...

  2. Nurse Career Battery

    nursinadream replied to RNchemo's topic in Nursing Career

    Wow, you gave a good summary of that test. I applied for a seasonal position in Florida. The battery was the first thing I was required to do, even before knowing about my experience or work...

    nursinadream replied to nursinadream's topic in Travel

    1. Have you heard anything about the Psych unit at the RLS hospital. 2. How complicated / tedious /expensive is the Licensing process. 3. Have you ever heard of a nurse living on a sailboat moored in...

  5. Virgin Islands

    nursinadream replied to nursinadream's topic in Travel

    Hello, "ieatoatmeal" unusual screen name :). A moped is out of the question for the islands. Roads too narrow and windy and no visibility. Some locals use motorcycles and it is dangerous. I had...

  6. Need advice...small hospital OR or big hospital OR

    nursinadream replied to asdf80's topic in Operating Room

    Good for you for having 2 job offers. That's pretty special, there's plenty of cities large and small without jobs for new nurses. I have been in the OR in both, as others. I would go with the Big...

  9. Any travel nurses from St Croix?

    nursinadream replied to Mkue's topic in Travel

    I worked on St Thomas, quite different from St Croix. I have a friend who is with RNNetwork and also looking at St Croix with them. I learned a lot at this website, nothing to do with travel...

    Lots of good info to be found online about travel nursing. Lots of opinions too. This forum is a good place to start. I looked at Highway Hypodermics (website) as a place to begin, there is factual...

  11. Pain pumps

    nursinadream posted a topic in Operating Room

    What's your procedure for filling pain pump cylinders? I find dispensing up to 12 bottles of Bupivicaine quite time consuming. And the scrubs are in a rush to get it on the table so they can...

  13. Pain pumps

    nursinadream replied to nursinadream's topic in Operating Room

    Very informative from an industry Rep. I would say this is not well known, understood in many practice settings. Many well made points that OR staff have never been educated on. I've never seen a...

  14. Need an agency!

    nursinadream replied to huntfishwv's topic in Travel

    Good suggestion to look at Facebook. Lots of companies have their own page. Some of the postings could be a way to snag you, but they're worth a look anyway. FB has a page called traveling medical...

    AND lest we forget - CNOR and other certifications are greatly tied in with Magnet hospitals and those that are seeking same. So your certification will be recognized and should be paid by for in...

  17. Statements taken completely out of context...and are FUNNY!

    nursinadream replied to canesdukegirl's topic in Operating Room

    Canesdukegirl, I too did not find any offense in the post. It was a good giggle or 2. I'm just not a storyteller....but I do LOL here in front of my computer and sometimes all day in the OR. I...

    Heat pumps! sheesh, I hope not. I was hoping to get away from the cold, too, but I've been through with last assignment for nearly a month, so decided to open up another possibility. Thanks for...

  20. Florida RN license by endorsement

    nursinadream replied to Peluchina's topic in Florida Nursing

    Just re-read that document. Seems you do need to have practiced nursing for 2 out of the last 3 years in order to be endorsed by Florida.
