  1. Can someone help me?

    NedRN replied to jme4ya25's topic in Travel

    Not understanding two figures here: Taxable 29.00 (

  2. First offer, fair?

    NedRN replied to FPCCRN's topic in Travel

    Insurance? That is very good for Ohio then. That is at least another $3 an hour. The insurance could be crappy though, I suggest you look at the policy carefully. $100 for an extra shift puts that in...

  3. In person Cali BON endorsement experience.

    NedRN replied to DatMurse's topic in Travel

    There have been lots of discussions! What you really need to do there is your Livescan fingerprints and that can be done anywhere in California. Going to the board with your initial application will...

  4. First offer, fair?

    NedRN replied to FPCCRN's topic in Travel

    Ohio pay is low as you should know if you live there. This is on the low side generally, but good for Ohio. Fair? That is a personal decision based on many factors just like a staff job or buying a...

  5. LPN travel nursing

    NedRN replied to abcdefgheatherr's topic in Travel

    Call travel nurse agencies. The larger ones are probably better for LPNs such as American Mobile and Cross

  6. Hard time getting a contract as a couple

    NedRN replied to m2736185's topic in Travel

    There are fewer PTs than nurses, so there are fewer assignments. That said, PT is an in demand specialty and often pays better than most nursing specialties. So if anyone is going to piggyback, it...

  7. Working with multiple companies and health insurance

    NedRN replied to ChristineAdrianaRN's topic in Travel

    Some can be talked into that if you can provide proof and receipts. It should be a non taxed reimbursement. Sadly, and for reasons I don't understand, a lot of agencies provide only a small stipend if...

  8. Hard time getting a contract as a couple

    NedRN replied to m2736185's topic in Travel

    It can be easier with one agency (more convenient for sure), especially if one traveler's specialty is in big demand. For example if one is L&D, the hospital may be able to magically open an...

  9. Working with multiple companies and health insurance

    NedRN replied to ChristineAdrianaRN's topic in Travel

    All covered employers are required to notify you in writing after you leave employment and then you have a certain amount of time to opt in, and then even longer before you have to catch up on...

  10. Working with multiple companies and health insurance

    NedRN replied to ChristineAdrianaRN's topic in Travel

    You can COBRA any employer's insurance for up to 18 months after you leave them. The exception is small employers with less than 20 employees. Anytime you change employers, you are also eligible to...

  11. Denver

    NedRN replied to Underthemoonicp6's topic in Travel

    Freedom is based in CO, no guarantee they have CO jobs of course. I would try Googling "travel nurse Denver". I did a similar city search yesterday and came up with some apparently current assignments...

  12. Denver

    NedRN replied to Underthemoonicp6's topic in Travel

    Roughly 100. Have you talked to any

  13. If you could only have licenses in 5 states...

    NedRN replied to BigT's topic in Travel

    That is backwards! It is easier the other direction I think. Of course I have an opinion, but I've only traveled in the OR. Benefits to ICU travel would be increase availability of hospitals and...

  14. Help with figuring out pay package

    NedRN replied to jlshort06's topic in Travel

    The higher numbers are more beneficial. You must have some other

  15. Backing out of a Contract

    NedRN replied to happymedium's topic in Travel

    So lease for 6 months and stay for 3 (or extend). I've leased for 12 months before and broken the lease. Just like a travel contract, check the fine print for early cancellation

  16. Backing out of a Contract

    NedRN replied to happymedium's topic in Travel

    You know, I was thinking the same thing! Camp on Small Beach. I don't know how far that is from the hospital, but I've bicycled around Maui on two separate occasions and camped. There is a hostel on...

  17. Backing out of a Contract

    NedRN replied to happymedium's topic in Travel

    This conversation is circular. Where did you plan to stay when you decided to accept the stipend instead of provided housing? Where was your confirmed housing? What has

  18. Backing out of a Contract

    NedRN replied to happymedium's topic in Travel

    I've been traveling for 20 years and only when I first started was housing "secured" before I went. Up to you of course. Housing is fluid, every one of those travelers arriving is replacing another...

  19. Agency won't pay... Holiday rate.

    NedRN replied to shortstuff52's topic in Travel

    So ask them to please check that President's Day is not a recognized holiday on their contract with the hospital. You can also go to the hospital HR or staffing and ask them if they pay agencies...

  20. Agency won't pay... Holiday rate.

    NedRN replied to shortstuff52's topic in Travel

    I agree with that reply to the original post, but with caveats. If the agency has agreed to pay the traveler for hospital recognized holidays, and it is on their contract, then yes, they must pay. I...

  21. Backing out of a Contract

    NedRN replied to happymedium's topic in Travel

    I'm not sure backing out gracefully is possible, but it depends on the agency and how they might be feeling today. You've already received money from them? What Craigslists posts are you talking...

  22. Help with figuring out pay package

    NedRN replied to jlshort06's topic in Travel

    April gives you a lot of time to check out pay rates at other agencies. The major value of PanTravelers calculator is comparing

  23. Backing out of a Contract

    NedRN replied to happymedium's topic in Travel

    You made several mistakes here. One was thinking Hawaii is more than a working vacation. Be happy to break even! Second was accepting a contract with unreasonable penalties. Generally penalties should...

  24. Car

    NedRN replied to MyNiche's topic in Home Health

    Used cars offer much better value and paying cash gives you more flexibility in your

  25. travel nursing for new grad

    NedRN replied to dcwang's topic in Travel

    And even more of a hospital that takes them without orientation adequate for a new grad! Possibly LTC is an area that could take a new grad, but I have to question why even consider travel at all if...
