Hello! My DH and I have decided to travel, and Oregon is our first choice. We are planning the move in about 6 months, and have some general questions-I am an ICU nurse with 10 years experience, and also have flight nurse experience. 1) What are you ...

Awwww! Would love to hear your experiences and learn from them (we signed on ours yesterday!!!). PM me for email address? Good luck to you in whatever you do!:)

And thanks, Hoozdo!!!!

Hello! Getting ready to travel in a month or so, and need to find an accountant who travels in travel nursing. Anyone know someone wonderful??:)

No, they don't travel, but they understand the quirks of travel nursing (out of state tax rules, particular tax deductions, etc). I remember hearing from other travelers about this "great CPA who specializes in travel nursing", but now I can't seem t...

No one??!!

I am in complete agreement that the agencies need nurses, not the other way around.My husband and I will be traveling in the next couple of months,and I want to have my pick of agencies/assignements/perks, but to start off I am going to limit it to 5...

Appreciate the input. As I said in the P.S. in the original post, we are kind of geared towards the PNW. Since we are newish, we probably will either get $$$ or location, but probably bot both (yes?). What companies are there that specialize in thes...

AWESOME! Glad things are falling into place. As for us, still so many unknowns. We have been looking, and of course we have two Class As that look soooooo appealing.... Can you give a hint as to what housing subsidies are running these days? I know i...

My husband and I are thinking of traveling, but we have animals (2 dogs,2 cats). I thought I remembered from traveling years ago that you could take a housing amount supplied by the complany, then make up the difference (to pay for accomodations that...

Good to hear-I would think with your significant experience finding an assignment would be no problem. I just hope ICU jobs are waiting for me!

Good point. I travelled years ago, and after my recruiter left I was assigned one who I did not like at all, so I started shopping around. I agree-it gets very confusing very quickly. I am just a little nervous that the jobs aren't out there...figure...

Are you having a hard time finding asignments? Have they declined horribly?

Anyone? You can private message me if you feel better doing so....

My god, I could almost smell the campfire...sigh..... So is it diffincult to find a spot? Are they usually really far from the hospital? I had looked on AAA and Good Sam sites, and there seems to be quite a few areas, but it is difficult to gauge how...

So if you take the subsidy and find your own place, how do you know where to look? Being unfamiliar with most towns I want to travel to, I would feel pretty uncomfortable just picking a place without knowing what kind of neighbourhood etc it is in. I...

I have been both traveler (although it has been about 5 years) and charge nurse doling out patient assignments. I have never heard of dumping on the traveler (you don't want them to run off, never return, and tell their friends not to come work with ...

OK-so it sounds like it is so wonderful....what, in your experiences, are the down sides of RV travel nursing???Please, tell all! (If there really aren't any, I'm buying one tomarrow!!!).

Update-we are moving thigs up (too hot and no jobs here for DH). Should be in that neck of the woods in a month or two!!!!! Could you tell me more about Vancouver??

Love this thread-my husband and I are planning to start traveling soon, and I was thinking about going the RV route (one of my favorite nurses traveled in an RV for years, and it sounded so great!). You had mentioned pets-we have 2 dogs and a cat, so...

WOW! What great feedback! I can' thank you enough-interesting, you were right about how many replies I would get. We nurses are an interesting bunch, aren't we? We realize there is a nursing shortage, yet continue to worry about someone "taking our j...

I have looked into it-it was difficult before the genious with the crotch bomb, it is really difficult now. You must take the IELTS to prove you are fluent in English (don't laugh-many Americans are not!). You can look for a hospital to sponser you f...

Hello- Saw this posted in another thread, but didn't see an answer.... Just curious about travel assignents in San Fran. Am considering travel, but have a dog and two (outdoor going) cats. Are there any places with yards? I woulld tkae a housing subs...

Great-thanks for the info!

Awww. That's too bad. Not really interested in living outside of the city. What do people in SF with pets do?
