There's an extended stay in Braintree, which is a suburb of Boston. Is it too late to let the agency handle it? My housing in Boston was always nice, I was a traveller there for almost 3 years.....

Woops. Accidentally hit send. Anyways. The apartment can kick you out for violating your lease , it's a matter of property insurance. And also, if you say he's a " mixed" breed, apartment complexes are within their rights to ask you to get a note from your vet, since most decent vets can narrow it down to two breeds.

Most apartments have breed restrictions, You can dance around that all you want , but if the apartment finds out , th

So according to the original poster, it's a battered wife's fault if her husband hits her in the face? I mean, his dinner was on the table AFTER 5 o'clock................I truly believe if nursing was a largely MALE profession, most of these rude patients/visitors wouldn't try any of these shenanigans.

NursesRX is under the AMN umbrella, and AMN pays however the hospital has decided they wanna pay their travellers, bi-weekly or weekly. I've had both when I worked for AMN. I think most travellers prefer weekly, but not much you can do , it's the entire company.

I'm like you, Theopenroad54, I like privacy, a decent apartment, my own washer/dryer, etc. Yes, I could go live at the Y or rent a room in some ax murderer's basement for $150 a month, but that's not how I like to live. I honestly suggest one of the bigger companies like AMN or Cross Country. I looked into smaller companies because , Yes, they pay more and are a little more personal, but all of them gave me the same schpiel you're hearing about finding your own housing. I've looked into that option too, and by the time I find someplace furnished, that's in a decent part of town, that allows short-term leasing and pets, and I'm not pocketing any money with the stipend. Most of my housing has been decent-nice, with the exception of the current place I'm in of course =0

Sometimes, I disagree with the BON's anonymous complaint policy....for this very reason, some crazy ex, white-trash neighbor, or anyone with an ax to grind can try to ruin your career.. Shouldn't you have the right to face your accuser?

Another option, with sometimes pretty decent pay is bartending? A traveller I worked with years ago had a husband who was retired, but would find bartending jobs wherever they went, and usually worked on the nights she worked.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but unless they're retired, I don't trust a man who doesn't work. Case closed.

Was at Johns Hopkins last year for 6 months, PM me if you want any details about Baltimore.

I was with AMN for 3 years, the housing seemed to become shabbier with each assignment, left and went with Advantage RN, so far I'm happy, gave me 3 choices of housing through them, or could take the stipend. I had AMN quote me for a housing stipend for a contract in the same city, it was considerably less than my current company's stipend. AMN started out OK, and seemed to get worse , my recruiter was nice and helpful, became short and snippy with me as the years went on, I'm making about 100 dollars more a week with this company.

I was told by an accountant, who is not that familiar with travel nursing so take it with a grain of salt, that anything under 17-18$/hour is a red flag to the IRS.

I did almost 2 years as a traveller in Boston, I did bring my car, but was housed in Quincy due to my dog. PM me if you have any questions, I loved my time there!!!!! They will most likely house you at Charles River Park, it's right across the street from MGH.

I took and passed this test about a month ago, I found the test to be highly subjective. Although I passed at my current hospital, I don't know that I'd get in my car and trek across the country knowing I need to pass it again, I think the test is only as good as the person grading it, IMHO.
