  1. Travel Nursing Advice

    NedRN replied to bshell79's topic in Travel

    If you are only talking to one agency about one assignment, then that is a top offer! If you get some other numbers to compare, I suggest using PanTravelers calculator to make more sense of them....

  2. How to ask questions...

    NedRN replied to morningland's topic in Travel

    Personally, I respect those who ask questions. It shows professionalism. As a traveler, you will of course have a lot of questions not only about clinical issues (hospital patient populations do vary...

    NedRN replied to Ag15's topic in Agency Nurses

    That is a real problem, but not much you will be able to do about it until they have a

  5. Scope of practice in surgery

    NedRN replied to Ag15's topic in Agency Nurses

    As a tech and a traveler, you are the bad guy here! I wouldn't try to change practice dramatically here unless asked for input. The surgeon, circulator, and even the anesthesia provider have a much...

    NedRN replied to BigT's topic in Travel

    Of course. We all share the same workplace. Frankly, as an OR nurse, I'm expounding on the entire facility. My ratio and workload never exceeds half a patient in the worst of

    NedRN replied to BigT's topic in Travel

    Best pay and working conditions: CA, OR, WA, AK, MA (and most union hospitals in other states) Best climate: CA (coastal primarily) Most fun: San Francisco Bay area (multiple cities), Bangor and...

  8. breaking a travel contract?

    NedRN replied to ceccia's topic in Travel

    Court is very very unlikely, and even should she be notified, getting her there and collecting will be close to impossible if she resists. Collecting without court is just as unlikely, but there are a...

  9. Seattle travel contract

    NedRN replied to frangelicag's topic in Travel

    To know comparable base rates we would have to know your specialty, years of experience, years as a traveler, hospital, whether it is critical need: and then we would still have to call other agencies...

  10. breaking a travel contract?

    NedRN replied to ceccia's topic in Travel

    While I have been terminated from assignments, I don't see how my unique experience with a different agency will instruct you further. I've never been penalized, but I get my own housing and negotiate...

  11. Never again with Cross Country TravCorps

    NedRN replied to queenroe's topic in Travel

    Sure, that's easy. If you persist, no matter the outcome, they will DNR you. Any employment check will now show a "will not rehire". It is very unlikely that anyone will change anything. If you were...

  14. breaking a travel contract?

    NedRN replied to ceccia's topic in Travel

    Those will be enumerated (or should be) in the contract. Actual penalties will hinge on who is paying for housing, the health issues, the value of the traveler (minimal if first assignment with this...

  15. States with a continual need?

    NedRN replied to BigT's topic in Travel

    States to avoid and better states to work in have been discussed in just the last few days as well as which licenses to get first. I'd post some links but difficult to do from my phone. Just read the...

  16. breaking a travel contract?

    NedRN replied to ceccia's topic in Travel

    You don't want to do that for a number of really good reasons. Last resort only and only for critical family issue or illness. If you will share with us the exact issue, we can perhaps help you...

  18. Complicated Tax Situation

    NedRN replied to white033's topic in Travel

    It is not really too credible that a married couple would be living with parents after living alone. Why not buy a house? Solid tax home, good savings plan, potential for appreciation, and a place to...

    NedRN replied to Gfgravina's topic in Travel

    By the way, while I would like to work in NJ, I have always avoided it. Crummy BON policies. Very

    NedRN replied to Gfgravina's topic in Travel

    Yes, if you talk to multiple agencies you will know what is fair. Think shpping for cars. Would you just check one

  21. Never again with Cross Country TravCorps

    NedRN replied to queenroe's topic in Travel

    Your name will not be cleared. In fact you will be less likely to get a good reference from that hospital if anyone calls them after you attempt to clear your name. That is just the way it is. it is a...

  22. Fingerprinting for FLorida (application through endorsement)

    NedRN replied to mademoiselle's topic in Travel

    On the Florida BON site they have a link (hard to find) to LiveScan providers in other states that will be closer to you. Those providers will know how to send it electronically. Also on the BON site...

    Nothing complicated here at all! Just maintain that primary

  24. Never again with Cross Country TravCorps

    NedRN replied to queenroe's topic in Travel

    I can't speak for others, but I certainly get that you are mad for being treated unfairly. I've been through almost exactly the same thing, and I was even successful in getting my bad eval retracted,...

  25. Business Address Necessary?

    NedRN replied to tash, rn's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Is there a reason why your home would be unsuited for interviews? That is the more cost effective way to start a small business until it is well underway. Yes, you can rent offices by the day or even...
