  1. contract cancellation, renegotiation

    nrcnurse posted a topic in Travel

    I need some insight from seasoned travelers. I was brokered to Agency A, whose census dropped, so they have cancelled my contract. Not a problem. I have verbally accepted a position at Agency B,...

  2. Travel to Clearwater, Florida... Bay Care?

    nrcnurse replied to krissyrn88's topic in Travel

    The Tampa Bay Area is beautiful, hot and humid during the summer. BayCare is a good group with lots of different opportunities. I am from Tampa, so have not worked there as a traveller. However, my...

    nrcnurse replied to nrcnurse's topic in Travel

    Problem solved. I got the contract from Agency B. Signed. Done deal. Agency A only wanted to keep me through next week.

  4. The worst job you had before becoming a Nurse?

    nrcnurse replied to Want2BeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, so been there. Having a corporate job does not mean you will be immune from professional misery. I was the CFO of a television production company. NOT glamorous. Media= an industry full of...

  5. Travel nurse pay LOW in 2016?

    nrcnurse replied to Sunshine94031's topic in Travel

    You probably need to talk to more agencies. While my taxable take-home is pathetic, the per diem and mileage are generous. I am traveling alone, and don't need insurance. My extended-stay hotel is...

  6. Nurses, where are the coolest places your job has taken you?

    nrcnurse replied to Cats&Tea&Climbing's topic in General Nursing

    I am a 5th generation Floridian doing a Hospice travel assignment in Vermont. The assignment started in March, and it was 31 degrees when I got here. For me, it's an adventure! Since Florida is the...

  7. Too old to go into nursing??

    nrcnurse replied to st431's topic in General Nursing

    I had a mid-life crisis at 47 and left my corporate job. I worked as a CNA, graduated from LPN school at 49, RN at 51, BSN at 55. I am now experiencing my two-thirds-life-crisis at 60, and working...

  8. Hospice or not?

    nrcnurse replied to curious nature's topic in General Nursing

    Hospice hires PRN staff that make visits but do not carry their own caseload, or take call. It's my favorite role. I get all the satisfaction of the hospice role, without the political garbage....

  9. From night shift nursing to Fitness Model

    nrcnurse replied to laurendrainfit's topic in General Nursing

    As a fellow post-menopausal nurse, I concur. How are you motivating yourself to escape the frumpy frame that Mother Nature has bestowed upon

  10. Travel Home Health

    nrcnurse replied to armesm89's topic in Home Health

    I am a Hospice nurse and took my first assignment in March. The agency had a large drop in their Hospice census, so they "lent" me to their Adult Home Care division. it was a little bit of a...

  16. Any hospice travel assignments?

    nrcnurse replied to gorgenurse's topic in Travel

    I am a hospice traveller, currently in Burlington, VT. Core Medical Group has a lot of hospice positions, but you need to be familiar with the hospice "drill;" i.e. how a visit works, what you do...

  17. Moving near Holiday FL soon; looking for a hospice job

    nrcnurse replied to jCLNC's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Suncoast is still Suncoast. Empath is the corporate umbrella that owns all the different divisions that seemed to be out of place being called "Suncoast Hospice." The hospice division is still...

  18. Hospice EMR

    nrcnurse replied to Nascar nurse's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I have used Suncoast Solutions at two hospices, both large with 1200-1500 patients. It is very confusing and time consuming to learn, but once you get it, you got it. It might be a Florida thing,...

  21. Sharing too much?

    nrcnurse replied to nurseontheway's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    You have to follow your gut. Sometimes I have things in common with the patient, and sharing that helps them connect with you. Last Christmas, a patient's wife gave me a small gift and card. I...

    In my agency an RN and SW from the assigned Team see the patient within 24h of admission, if admitted M-Thurs. If admitted late Friday, Saturday or Sunday, Weekend Team will call to see if they need...

    nrcnurse replied to jeastridge's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Thanks for sharing, Joy. I have had the same conversation, in various configurations, so many times. It's like a PR piece that is an essential part of a Hospice nurse's tool kit. We're not the...
