    ESRD replied to ccpjanet's topic in Travel

    Nope I'm all set...Thanks...

  2. Traveling Nursing+Pay Scales

    ESRD replied to ccpjanet's topic in Travel

    Yes I have seen the whiners on TNT too.. And the reason they whine is because they stoop to taking assignments that don't pay them what they are worth... When a nurse takes an assignment that pays...

  3. Traveling Nursing+Pay Scales

    ESRD replied to ccpjanet's topic in Travel

    Yeah,,, I figure if they need a nurse they need to pay...I don't suppose an electrician, plumber, or contractor would cut their fees??? And they make more than we do to begin with.. It's the law of...

  4. Traveling Nursing+Pay Scales

    ESRD replied to ccpjanet's topic in Travel

    I started getting $35 in CT then $37 in NV and $35 in CA. and now $35 in NC...Some of those places aren't "anywhere" I tell my recruiters what my "price" is they can take it or leave it...So far they...

  5. Newly Licensed RN Wondering about Traveling

    ESRD replied to HammerbeckRN's topic in Travel

    Most companies and hospitals require at least a year in your specility. If a company doesn't require this I would be worried because they may put you in a position you might not be able to handle....

  6. Traveling Nursing+Pay Scales

    ESRD replied to ccpjanet's topic in Travel

    Don't always accept that a certain area of the country pays less.. I am working in Eastern North Carolina and making $35/hour. The housing costs are low here so I should be getting more of the pie.....

  7. Is it worth it still?

    ESRD replied to bellehill's topic in Travel

  9. Traveling Nursing+Pay Scales

    ESRD replied to ccpjanet's topic in Travel

    While I haven't worked in a hospital in over 3 years I can direct you to a site that might give you some ballpark figures. I am a travel nurse and have never made less than $35 per hour.. I do only...

  10. anyone with good/bad experiences with PPR

    ESRD replied to wishy's topic in Travel

    I also like http://www.travelnursedepot.com You can actually post your wants and desires there, see what others are requesting for pay rates, and make a travel resume for travel companies to view.....

  11. Is it worth it still?

    ESRD replied to bellehill's topic in Travel

    Are you Canadian....Don't take offense just plain nosey me.. I have thought about it...Because I think Canadian nurses are paid better....Am I wrong?????

  13. Bevel up, Bevel down???

    ESRD replied to ESRD's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I'm actually talking about cannulating a dialysis access; either a fistula or a graft with a 15 or 16 gauge fistula needle not an ordinary IV stick.. I always go bevel up there.. Rarely, we will also...

  14. anyone with good/bad experiences with PPR

    ESRD replied to wishy's topic in Travel

    As I mentioned elsewhere. Check Delphi Forums Travel Nurse and Therapists.. Intellistaf and Aureus don't have very good reps at all... Aureus cold calls travel nurses in the middle of the night at...

  15. anyone with good/bad experiences with PPR

    ESRD replied to wishy's topic in Travel

    I personally wouldn't work for PPR.. I called Stacey Pavish and she very bluntly told me they don't get dialysis jobs often and she didn't even bother to offer to look. I have a good company and they...

  16. Is it worth it still?

    ESRD replied to bellehill's topic in Travel

    You might want to go to DelphiForums Travel Nurse and Therapists and read the poop on Aureus .. Intellistaff doesn't have a great rep either.... Go to this site http://www.geocities.com/hobonurse...

  17. Bevel up, Bevel down???

    ESRD replied to ESRD's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I go bevel down all the time.. I don't flip my needles .. No need to with bevel down. Bevel down actually makes a nice flap for speedier bleeding times. I also have noticed that patients state that...

  18. Is it worth it still?

    ESRD replied to bellehill's topic in Travel

  20. Cruise ship nursing

    ESRD replied to VA_CCRC's topic in Travel

    Hi,, I spoke with a hemodialysis nurse who does cruises. She told me that basically her pay is the cruise..Maybe a small salary but I don't think it was much.. And she has to get herself where ever...

  21. Any dialysis RN's out there from Columbus Ohio

    ESRD replied to sportmom's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Personally .. I'd call the units themselves.. Sometimes that's the better way to go.. And at least put in an application...Can't hurt..

  22. Agency RN'S how do you learn the different machines

    ESRD replied to Journi's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Hi Journi, I went from Fresenius 2008H to Cobe 3 in about a week. I am a traveling nurse and in 2002 worked in a Gambro unit. Learning a new machine is sorta like driving a big truck instead of the...
