  1. Should I apply for a per diem job now if I plan to be away for all of Sept?

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Yeah maybe I'll just wait till fall to

  2. What is more exhausting - floor nursing or SAHM?

    adpiRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I worked full time (3 12s) in L&D on a busy, understaffed floor. It was exhausting and I was definitely feeling burnt out towards the end. I left 16 months ago to stay home with my son. I love it...

  3. Would you deliver your baby at your place of employment?

    adpiRN replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    I was an L&D nurse and delivered where I work and loved it! My nurse friends definitely took care of me and gave me special treatment. As a PP nurse you should get special treatment too, so it...

  4. NY is becoming a compact state?!

    adpiRN posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Has anyone heard when this might happen? On this website it's listed as "pending" https://www.ncsbn.org/nlc.htm I have a NY license and want to start travel nursing next fall so it would be AWESOME if...

  5. Travel Nursing while pregnant/trying to get pregnant

    adpiRN posted a topic in Travel

    I'm wondering if anyone did this and how it worked. My husband and I might start trying to get pregnant around the same time I'd be applying for travel nurse jobs. My husband would come with me (he...

  6. Travel Nursing while pregnant/trying to get pregnant

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Travel

    Well, slight change of plans - I got pregnant last March. So no travel nursing for me for now! I'm still at my full-time staff nurse job. But I think I'd decided if I was going to do it, to COBRA my...

  7. Camp nurse good experience for school nursing?

    adpiRN posted a topic in Camp

    I have 2 1/2 years experience in L&D and am looking for a change. I've always thought I wanted to be a school nurse someday. For the past year I've been looking for jobs in my area in school...

  8. hanging pit while pregnant?

    adpiRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Has anyone heard that pit is teratogenic and you should wear gloves when hanging it? I was told this on orientation, but it seemed very odd to me since we give it to pregnant women all the time!...

  9. Is NovaPro basically the same as Cross Country?

    adpiRN posted a topic in Travel

    I've heard NovaPro is an off-shoot of Cross Country. Does this mean they have the same assignments, same pay, same benefits? If I'm in touch with a NovaPro recruiter and I like her, is it totally...

  10. Is NovaPro basically the same as Cross Country?

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Travel

    Interesting. So both companies would offer the same health insurance plan? That's the main reason I'd feel the need to contact Cross Country as well - to see if they have a better health insurance...

  11. Highway Hypodermics rankings

    adpiRN posted a topic in Travel

    Are these rankings legit? (I think Valley is #1 this year) I just want to make sure this website isn't really an ad paid for by the travel nurse companies to get themselves on the list! I assume most...

  12. Is NovaPro basically the same as Cross Country?

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Travel

    Thanks. Are there other companies that are owned by Cross

  13. Ketchikan, AK

    adpiRN posted a topic in Travel

    According to travelnursing.com this place is rated as the top traveler-friendly facility. Does anyone have experience with this? Specifically in L&D? How did you get there? It seems like driving...

  14. advice for camp nurse interview?

    adpiRN posted a topic in Camp

    I applied for camp nurse jobs, sort of on a whim, and was pleasantly surprised to get TWO interviews for next week! Any advice on what to look for when I check out the camp and what questions to ask?...

  15. nursing licenses

    adpiRN posted a topic in Travel

    I may want to start traveling in the fall. I currently only have a NY license (which is not a compact state). When should I start getting other licenses? The problem is that I'm trying to be flexible...

  16. nursing licenses

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Travel

    Thanks! How long will a temporary license last? Long enough for a 13 week travel

  17. nursing licenses

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Travel

    Thanks! CA actually is on my list, because I hear there are lots of jobs there and they pay well (and it's generally warmer than NY : ) NovaPro has helpful info on how long it takes to get a license...

  18. nursing licenses

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Travel

    Also, I've read that when you move, you can still practice on your former residency license for up to 30 days. Is this also true with travel nursing? Could I use my NY license at first and have 30...

  19. confused about tax home! help!

    adpiRN posted a topic in Travel

    My original plan was for my husband and I to sell our apt, use my parents' house as our home base, and do some travel nursing for a few months. Then I started reading all about the tax home rule and...

  20. confused about tax home! help!

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Travel

    Hmmm, interesting. Thanks. Some threads on here said you can't use your parents' house, but I guess there are ways around it. I'd have to talk to my parents and an accountant. If you do it this way,...

  21. Nitty gritty of pay rates

    adpiRN replied to msnurse14's topic in Travel

    So if you don't use the "free" health insurance, because you'd rather pay for COBRA on your better current insurance, do you get some of that money back either in more stipend or higher hourly

  22. Tell me about travel nursing!

    adpiRN posted a topic in Travel

    I've come up with the brilliant plan that next winter I will do travel nursing somewhere warm! (Southeast, FL, Texas, CA....) To the nurses who've had travel nursing experience - tell me about it!...

  23. Tell me about travel nursing!

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Travel

    Forgot about FL and New Orleans. Those would also be top choices for a winter-time

  24. Tell me about travel nursing!

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Travel

    Charleston would be great! We love it there! Were you at MUSC? We're thinking of eventually settling down in Aiken, SC so it might be good to travel in that area to get more familiar with it. I'm...

  25. Tell me about travel nursing!

    adpiRN replied to adpiRN's topic in Travel

    Thanks for the info! I would be traveling with my husband (who works from home) and we think it'd be a fun adventure before having children. (And a good way to spend the winter!) We'd also be...
