2. Help with paystub

   NedRN replied to abigail1003's topic in Travel

4. Urgent care/Primary care travel nurse?

   NedRN replied to Lemon Bars's topic in Travel

   I know a lot of mellow ER nurses. Calm is good in chaos. Your choice of course, but one last plug as I mentioned is that many EDs are streamed between acute and urgent. Doesn't hurt to check with...

5. Nurse Abuse While on Assignment

   NedRN replied to K2K's topic in Travel

   I'm truly sorry for your experience. However, it was up to you, not your agency. Your license and health, not theirs. You have a licensure and personal duty to remove yourself from unsafe practice...

6. Urgent care/Primary care travel nurse?

   NedRN replied to Lemon Bars's topic in Travel

   For virtually any setting where there are nurses, there are agency nurses. Travel contracts are usually a longer need like persistent staffing shortages, or short term like a pregnancy or personal...

7. Certifications

   NedRN replied to RainMom's topic in Travel

8. Certifications

   NedRN replied to RainMom's topic in Travel

   In your practice? Near zero. But on your CV? It sends a message that you are a professional, actively working to be the best you can be. Think about your own hiring preference between two candidates...

9. Travel Nurse Offer Cancellation

   NedRN replied to ronodis's topic in Travel

12. travel nursing with clean endorsed compact license but expired origional license with consent agreement (terms met- was unencumbered before expiry)

    NedRN replied to Tiffany Reed's topic in Travel

    I think it very unlikely to show up on a background check, especially if there were no criminal charges. You can find out yourself by running an online background check on yourself. Get the lowest...

13. Travel Nurse Rates

    NedRN replied to Annemariebb's topic in Travel

    Travel first for the lifestyle. New friends, sights, and culture. Constant learning new ways to practice and sharing when appropriate. Lack of politics. Apparently you are worried about some threshold...
