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 no...

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 ...

There's hope and then there's delusion...........

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 e...

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 ...

I find myself wondering at times why I went into this profession. Does anyone else get annoyed with healthcare today? The sense of entitlement has rolled over to healthcare and the "have it your way" attitude prevails and the powers that be encourage...

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.

Took this test end of January. The test seems HIGHLY subjective to me, and also seems that your passing is dependent upon who is sitting there grading the test. The key is to make the appropriate diagnosis, otherwise you're off and running in the w...

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 stip...

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 str...

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 i...

I'd like to know which hospital you work at.. where there are cute/handsome residents with pleasant attitudes, who you'd WANT to have any contact with outside the hospital..maybe I should apply there...

The CommuterRN said-"A belligerent person will be escorted out of the bank by security if he starts verbally abusing the tellers. A person who does not behave himself on a major airline will be restrained by the air marshall. A customer who starts th...

I can sympathize with the Southerners who aren't equipped to deal with the snow, the problem is we get a fair amount of call-off's in the Northern states as well, what's their excuse?

I would highly NOT recommend travelling as a new grad, and most hospitals will NOT take you unless you have 1-2, sometime 3+ years of experience. If a "recruiter" is telling you that, they are NOT your friend.

The market is OK, better than last year but NOTHING like it was 3-4 years ago. You have to change your expectations to be able to find a job, and you have to be less picky able location, hospitals, etc. I've noticed too lately that instead of bo...

I think it's another instance of good idea gone bad {ie: sexual harrassment laws, political correctness}. 50 years ago, you'd have a boss chasing his secretary around the desk. Nowadays, if you make an off-color joke, you face the HR firing squad. Th...
