  1. Asking a higher rate

    NedRN replied to guest769224's topic in Travel

    Southern California does pay less. But the PanTravelers calculation should be higher than that. It is not just about money of course but you can try Emerald, Fastaff, and MSSI off the top of my head...

  2. Asking a higher rate

    NedRN replied to guest769224's topic in Travel

    OR is still not L&D but I've been seeing a lot of extreme rates as travel goes crazy. It is hard to outsource nursing and even harder to increase OR patient ratios! I heard an interesting story on...

  3. Asking a higher rate

    NedRN replied to guest769224's topic in Travel

    This time was really random. I clicked a link accidentally on a jobs site and the most recent post was this assignment. I wasn't even planning on working this summer. It was a place I wanted to work...

  4. Asking a higher rate

    NedRN replied to guest769224's topic in Travel

    You have to look hard for a travel assignment in California with total pay per PanTravelers calculator paying only $41 an hour. That is

  5. Asking a higher rate

    NedRN replied to guest769224's topic in Travel

    While I'm on my way to work at an assignment in California that pays more than staff, that is highly unusual and is a rapid response crisis situation. Generally, you will get a lower hourly. So tell...

  6. Traveling with less than 2 years

    NedRN replied to vnguyen3's topic in Travel

    It is certainly possible to travel with less experience, but why do that to yourself? No learning curve left where you are? Also, when you stop traveling, what will you have to show that you are not...

  7. Asking a higher rate

    NedRN replied to guest769224's topic in Travel

    Yes. If you want a staff job with no housing, tax benefits and so on, take a staff job! Pay rates for travelers are sometimes higher, and sometimes lower and that is just how it works. Housing in the...

  8. Travel with American Mobile?

    NedRN replied to gogetter73's topic in Travel

    As posted above, if you call AM, you will have a chance to talk to several recruiters. Pick one that works well for you, not someone else. Allnurses does not allow posting of recruiter

  9. Extra work on assignment in Cali

    NedRN replied to tallynurse's topic in Travel

    It is called a nursing agency! More specifically a per diem agency or sometimes it is called a registry, but you won't ever see those words in the name of the agency. Try a Google search for San Diego...

  10. Travel Nurse Eduation

    NedRN replied to CardinalSyn's topic in Travel

    There are several "travel" nursing jobs that require graduate degrees or extra experience, typically in management. There are a lot of "travel" nurse managers, directors, and DON. These are more...

  11. Starting from the beginning

    NedRN replied to L&DRN03's topic in Travel

    I would certainly second PanTravelers as a place to become acquainted with basic terms and details. I'd save TravelTax for a second site to definitely visit before you make plans to leave home. Tax...

  12. Prophecy Testing

    NedRN replied to koalafiedRN's topic in Travel

    You will take it again if you don't get an acceptable score. These tests are low stress, no one

  13. Travel with American Mobile?

    NedRN replied to gogetter73's topic in Travel

    That was probably for the strike this week. Not worth it for me. I was referring to real travel

  14. Travel with American Mobile?

    NedRN replied to gogetter73's topic in Travel

    I don't have specific recommendations for agencies. I recommend you talk to many and pick a few with recruiters you communicate well with. Everything follows that. You can decide on a style of agency...

  15. Travel with American Mobile?

    NedRN replied to gogetter73's topic in Travel

    Even an agency as big as American Mobile cannot supply all the needs of their "exclusive hospitals". They will in every case be operating as a vendor manager for those hospitals, which include big...

  16. Travel with American Mobile?

    NedRN replied to gogetter73's topic in Travel

    That's a nice policy about picking recruiters and giving travelers a stress free mechanism. Very, very smart of them. Verbal timecard fixing is also a very traveler friendly policy. There is really...

  17. Prophecy Testing

    NedRN replied to koalafiedRN's topic in Travel

    Prophecy (formerly nursetesting.com) is usually for agency competencies. Some hospitals use Prophecy as well, but in a forum like this the discussion will center around agency use. When you are doing...

  18. What happens if you don't complete a travel assignment

    NedRN replied to godbless-yute's topic in Travel

    Blacklists are generally illegal (I know of only one exception and that is how the DFW Hospital Association arranged theirs and that primarily only affects Texas). A do-not-hire inside of one company...

  19. Self schedule

    NedRN replied to Kmrn11's topic in Travel

    It depends. If it is important to you, that is a question to ask during the hospital interview no matter what the agency thinks it

  20. Travel with American Mobile?

    NedRN replied to gogetter73's topic in Travel

    I don't have specific advice about AM other than to tell you they are the largest agency. I do recommend that you talk to a number of different agencies. This confers a number of advantages. One is...

  21. North Carolina vs Tennessee

    NedRN replied to tallynurse's topic in Travel

    Unless the OP already lives in a no income tax state, or is itinerant for tax purposes, there is no advantage in traveling to a low or no income tax state. You will still owe state income taxes to...
