I am anxiously waiting. I applied to the online FNP Masters program. One of my friends got her email Friday (May 5th) morning and the other Monday (May 8th) morning. Both were around 9:30 am.

Was told today that base pay is $36 with $2200/month housing...in Napa

What cities or hospitals brought home the bacon for you as a travel nurse? I am just curious. Mine was New York Presbyterian in NYC.

wow. this thread go off topic fast. lol.

Following! I am doing the same. Looking at CPMC & some hospitals in Napa. Curious as to what the pay is. Good luck!

I was Cornell. Yes, I hated the 3/4 day shift thing too.

Anyone traveled there before? About to start in Med-Surg ICU. How about housing around that area? Thanks!!!

If you are still in school and can choose your own clinical rotations for your last semester, do ICU. Most of the nurses in my classes were scared of it but this will give you a better chance of getting an ICU position right out of school. This is ...

Thanks for all of the responses. I am the one who started this post. I ended up taking the position in the ICU and it was the worst assignment I have ever taken. I floated 50% the time to "step-down." And because most of the nurses were new, I was ...

I have been offered a travel position in the CVICU at Pitt County. Has anyone worked here? How is Greenville? I was in LA and NYC before this so I am a bit worried but grew up in Charleston, SC.

I am looking for a new ICU position anywhere. I have been in a hospital that doesn't treat their travel nurses good at all. Anyone have good experiences they wouldn't mind sharing? Thanks!

Stanford sounds like my type of hospital. Do they have a CTICU or CCU? How was the housing and commute?

Anyone worked there? ICU? Liked it or not? THANKS!

Wow! Thanks! Any good hospitals in CT that you know of?

I will def have to remember not to go here. THanks!

I have heard you can have it put in your contract that you will not float. I have been floated to floors where I have 6 patients and I am an ICU nurse who has never had more than 2. I thought I was going to go crazy.

Thanks.

I don't recommend New York Presbyterian.

So, is the tax advantage program good or bad? I am still so confused. Seems to me like you get paid more now, but may end up paying more when tax time comes around.

I am a traveler who recently got sick. I found out how horrible the health insurance is. Just to get a medication that usually costs 20$, it was $80. Does anyone have any good suggestions for health insurance that I can get on my own? THANKS! :he...

I am with Cross Country and have been working in NYC for the last 2 assignments. My recruiter has just mentioned to me that I qualify for this new tax advantage program for my next assignment here. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks!:redbeath...

Uniform Advantage.

Well, my recruiter is telling me that I am crazy for even thinking about not taking it. And at first, she told me that it wasn't an option.

Do you know where you want to work? I know for my last assignment it took so long to resign because it had to go through some committee first. Since it took so long, I ended up going somewhere else. This particular hospital was cutting back on the...

I am just confused about the decrease in pay. Where I am at now, I can pick up overtime (time and a half). Plus I hear that this is not good for social security or disablility. In the long run, after I get my taxes back, won't it be less money? A...
