    NedRN replied to ERpinup's topic in Travel

    California law is actually a 10 minute break every 4

  3. California

    NedRN replied to ERpinup's topic in Travel

    It is hard to run out of cool places to work in California and it is easier for me to name places I don't want to go to. I've never worked in the Central Valley (well.. Chico is technically Central...

  4. I feel like a total jerk!!

    NedRN replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    What's the problem? You were just looking. Let them know that you were extended, but you would be interested in September (or not). The truth is always good business. Every agency knows the score...

  5. Employment verification from Medical Express. Help appreciated.

    NedRN replied to Twigg's topic in Travel

    Employees do not get employment verifications, only employers do. Even then, it is only a telephone verbal. I'm at a bit of a loss about why a BON would need it, usually it is just your word as to the...

    NedRN replied to natashacardiacrn's topic in Travel

    No. And knock on wood, I never will. Too many better hospitals to work

    I think you've hit it! HCA is a

  8. Can you make a living just doing strikes?

    NedRN replied to perfexion's topic in Travel

    The vast majority of strikes settle before starting, leaving most potential workers out of several hours signup for no compensation. Not worth it for most travelers. From my experience, most strike...

  9. Questions to ask during orientation?

    NedRN replied to DatMurse's topic in Travel

    Why not see what the orientation consists of? Ideally a good orientation will cover all the basics and include reading P&P. You shouldn't need to design your own

  10. Don't understand take home pay

    NedRN replied to cincin1222's topic in Travel

    Why not ask your recruiter? I often wonder about the choices travelers make. If you are too scared to ask your recruiter what she means, I don't think that can be a productive business relationship....

  11. Don't understand take home pay

    NedRN replied to cincin1222's topic in Travel

    With the exception of only one agency I know of, you either take the provided housing or the housing stipend. They are using the housing stipend number to figure your take home pay though. If you take...

    .

  13. Asking a higher rate

    NedRN replied to guest769224's topic in Travel

    Where, and for what specialty? I can think of a place or two, but none with cheap housing, thus losing any benefit. I've never met anyone who went anywhere just to do per diem. Even you are just...

  14. Asking a higher rate

    NedRN replied to guest769224's topic in Travel

    What about your per diem job with no pay designated for housing? You must really "lose" money. Might be cheaper to just stop

  15. Asking a higher rate

    NedRN replied to guest769224's topic in Travel

    Nope, not over. My pay has increased each year I've traveled. First year I traveled my hourly was $17. Very interesting logic, or lack thereof. What you mean is you made less money than previously....

  16. Asking a higher rate

    NedRN replied to guest769224's topic in Travel

    If it works for you, great! But in many places, per diem is not exactly great. Less orientation than a travel position, some hospitals trying to lock you in just in case for shifts and then calling...

    Looking for a summer job? Sure, there are travel NAs. Or you can just pick a city and work for a local

    NedRN replied to daisybsn's topic in Travel

    Probably not but it can't hurt to ask. Nor would it hurt to check out compensation with other

    Seriously? No hints at all on how to do

  21. Asking a higher rate

    NedRN replied to guest769224's topic in Travel

    That is why you get a tax break for business travel, you are duplicating

  22. Health insurance for families

    NedRN replied to MiaLyse's topic in Travel

    If your employer has more than 20 employees you have the right to extend your current insurance for up to 18 months. Google COBRA. Your post appeared to say you only were going to travel three months...

  23. Traveling with less than 2 years

    NedRN replied to vnguyen3's topic in Travel

    Well, you've been hired twice now with less experience. An agency told you it wouldn't be a problem. What else are you looking for here? The only way to find out if a particular manager will hire you...

  24. Health insurance for families

    NedRN replied to MiaLyse's topic in Travel

    You would do best to COBRA your existing insurance for three months a year. Expensive yes, but effectively it comes out of your pay

    Forums are very cool places to learn about new topics. For best results, it is best to lurk for a while and read a lot of threads. Many questions will be answered before you even know you have a...
