thanks so much!

How is the debt to income ratio determined? Of course I submitted my loan info and salary, but how do they come up with the percentage? Is it found somewhere on the portal? Thank you!

I am starting an assignment in HOUSTON 5/27 for 13 weeks and I was wondering if there were any other RNs traveling there and would like to meet up?

Who are you working with for an assignment NurseBoogie?? I've been trying to get to Houston for the past few weeks and it hasn't been so successful. I work in Oncology & it seems a bit more difficult to get something in this specialty over others.

Unfortunately I had to take the test...it isn't completely terrible, but I failed by 1 missed question the first time, and the test cut off on me the second time...3rd time was a charm!

I am traveling with AYA healthcare and I did endorse my license to TX...it took a while bc I am from Illinois so they took forever to verify my Illinois license..also, the TX temp license took me exactly a month to receive when they say you'll receive in about 15 days..temp license lasts four months. Background check and everything is complete so I'm waiting on permanent licensure there.

I am finishing up an assignment in May here in Kansas City - I am already licensed in Texas and would like to go to Houston next!

Hello. I am possibly going to begin a travel assignment in Kansas City, KS toward the beginning/middle of February. I was writing to determine if there are any other nurses out there doing the same or thinking of doing the same. I am a first-time traveler and this would be my first assignment. I am having my phone interview tomorrow, and I am anxious, nervous, and excited! Please let me know your thoughts. :)

Blessedone1 I am working with AYA now to possibly get me to KU Med in Kansas. Will anyone be able to provide me with any insight into interviewing? I am possibly going to be called for one this week..& this will be my first assignment if I agree.

I am a young 23yo AA female and I currently have 8mo RN experience out of Chicago on a Hematology/Oncology/Stem Cell Transplant unit. I just took my chemo class so that I can be certified to give Chemotherapy and Biotherapy. I am interested in traveling to NY, CA, FL, possibly TX. My yr will be up in August and I just began to strongly consider traveling starting this yr. The lease to my apt is up at the same time...If I decided to just stay here, it wouldn't be until about Aug 2014 that I would consider a travel assignment again just because I wouldn't want to have an apt here, while I'm living somewhere else. I know someone who traveled after a yr and loves it. I'm just nervous and don't know if I'll ever be sure of when I'm ready!

haha how'd you know i had orientation today? It was great!

eah9r3 did your friend share anything about her orientation to you? i have been calling the manager with no return call. i don't start orientation until aug. 20, so maybe i'm too early? do you know if she felt prepared following her unit orientation? i heard orientation on the unit is shortened to save $$. a couple people i graduated with have gotten a job there on l&d and postpartum and said their orientation would be like this.

seriously?! that's where i just got hired!! is she on nights? that's what ill be working. i'm a new grad myself so i just apply to onc because i love it and work as a cna in onc now. to answer your question tammy1019, i believe the ratio is 4-5 on nights. 7p-7a

Hi all, I was just hired at a prestigious hospital in Chicago as a New Grad Nurse in Hem/Onc, Stem Cell Transplant Unit!! They called the day after I interviewed & I'm still in shock!!! If any other new RNs are starting in this area, let's get together on this thread to talk! Experienced RNs, what has been your experience on a Stem Cell Transplant Unit?? I am currently a CNA on an Oncology unit for the past 14 months, so I have some experience here.

I am interviewing for the Mayo in Rochester. They will pay for me to drive there & my food expenses.
