As nurses, we work with many types of people. Some really amazing people. Some unsavory people. Some you wouldn't want to be caught dead associating with. Tonight, I was watching Grey's Anatomy! I'm way behind the times as I just started only a fe...

In my humble, non-biased opinion, I think Cerner is the biggest pile of charting poo that has ever hit electronic health records. I would much rather go back to hard copy charting than use that junk. Context: I'm a travel nurse. I've been all over t...

I have recently graduated and having a fair amount of time on my hands (jobless, thousands of applications filled out and resumes polished) I wouldn't mind giving an open, honest opinion of educators and the practices. There was a point in my colleg...

Anybody know which company is staffing the Mayo Clinic Epic Conversion? My wife and I are both in Oregon right now. We're both travelers. But, we're from that neck of the woods and have several years of Epic experience between the two of us. We were...

I'm a travel nurse. I completely agree with idea that our opinion is unbiased and we do a rapidly ability to evaluate the quality of the floor. However, travel nurses are hired to fill a void. A position. Work from day one. Putting our opinions "out ...

Thanks for the Traveler Talk shout out! I am very happy people are finding it useful! There is a TON of great information in there! :)

Travel nurse housing is a tough subject. It's probably the most common issue experienced by new and even veteran travel nurses. My wife and I have lived in all types of housing including: With family Hotels Corporate housing Furnished apartments Va...

I wrote this on the Facebook Group, "Travel Nurse Network--The Gypsy Nurse" During times of crisis, we should come together in solidarity. I propose we help #healvegas Unfortunately, it feels like we are completely divided at times. Our political s...

As a travel nurse, I'm heavily involved in the community. I scour the facebook groups, LinkedIn posts, and of course, the Allnurses forum. I started travel nursing nearly two years ago and I never want to stop. It's the first time in my nursing caree...

Congrats! My wife and will be in Madison, WI until December :)

A company required you to sign a document to not talk with other nurses about your salary? Will you PM me? I'm curious about this.

Ofcourse! :) I'll do you one better. First, it's a legal obligation and a Youtube Terms of Service that I would HAVE to say if this was sponsored or paid for in some way. The short answer is no. Mark approached me several weeks back when I started to...

LOL! :)

Completely agree! Extremely refreshing! We will be doing more talks in the future. Where you heading on your first assignment?

Nurses! Right this very second there lives being destroyed in Texas. And, like you, I wish I could go out on the front lines and help the relief efforts. But, I can't up and leave my life. I made a video to help spread the message...

I completely agree about the challenges you are describing. For the most part, we have really lucked out and had good experiences.

Most people have no idea travel nurses exist and even fewer really know what travel nurses are. I can't tell you how many times I tell patients that I'm a traveler and they are like, "Huh? That's even a thing?" The same could be said about nurses. Mo...

CNAs are a cornerstone to healthcare. Harvey or not, you are ALWAYS needed and MUCH appreciated!

You contact the red cross. They have a job for ya. Good luck!

Honestly, I can't even imagine. I suspect the news doesn't even come close to the devastation. Thank you for what you do.

Nursing isn't always sunshine and rainbows. We laugh. We cry. You better believe we cuss! We love taking care of people. There's a major caveat. We're obligated to wear the "nurse hat" and take everything with a smile. And, I do mean ...

It's amazing what I've learned in just this short time in travel nursing. I made this video to help out new travel nurses with some of the things I wish I need before getting started in this specialty. When you are the new person, there is both a lot...

Truthfully, most top agencies have the same benefits and similar pay packages. I look for a great relationship with the recruiter because they are the ones that'll advocate for you. Here are some legit resources for you. Good luck! Contact me anytime...

Housing is one of the most commonly searched and discussed issues in travel nursing. So much that there are facebook groups devoted to this very topic. I would suggest starting there. Though, NedRN, is right! You don't have to stay with anyone! You h...

Though it's only hearsay. I couldn't verify the living circumstances though. :)
