Hi, does anyone have input on travel nursing? I work for an interventional cardiologist as his office nurse and am looking for more money. I am married, have a 22 & 19 year old. They are pretty independent. My husband is ok with me traveling but...

Ok thanks, I live South Alabama and thought you were referring to the "Bay Area" here....

Yes, where is this??

very good advice here. I am tossing the idea of travel/local agency. I live in Alabama and do not really want to stay away from home 13 weeks. I thought maybe I would keep my fulltime job and work agency on weekends (may everyother weekend) My fullti...

When you say the Bay area, what do you mean. Can you recomend an agency?

I have a medical dosage problem and it has been a while since I have had to calculate. Can someone help? 20,000 units of heparin in 500 ml NS Give 2000 units/hr drip factor 15gtts/ml ? how many ml/hr and how many gtts/min

Well, have you started traveling yet?

Any idea what travelers make in the Mobile area?

I work in the Infirmary System and have not heard this either but will keep my eyes & ears open!

I totally agree here. I have held higher positions with an ADN (College Degree!!!) than a lot of my friends who have BSN

No where I have been has paid more than .50 (cents) on the hour more for a BS.

Not in Mobile!! The responses you are getting here are pretty much it! We are the lowest paid nurses in the US

Thanks for the help, 13 was not an option on answers so I would use the 12.5

That sounds like good advice! I got another reply that wasn't very encouraging as far as what travel pays for and how much you would make.. That is what I like about this site...you get the truth!

Wow, thank you for the input. I was expecting a little more positive feedback but if this is the way it is, I am not sure if I want to persue... Thanks

Thanks for your input, I am thinking this is a trick question because there is no specific strategy for a formula to get this answer... Thanks again!

This is a multiple choice question and 13 isn't an option, I think it is 50ml/hr & 12.5gtts/min Thanks for your help!

I believe this is correct. Thank you for the help!!

I am considering traveling because of the money. I am married and have a 22 & 19 yr old and could not even consider this in the past. I am a little scared and not sure, is this normal? I want to try it before giving up my full time job where I am...
