    NedRN replied to scm0890's topic in Travel

    I'm not a psych nurse, but both Supplemental and Worldwide agencies have a special interest in pysch. Supplemental in NY was originally founded as psych only. Past that, your best bet are the larger...

  2. What if the hospital I'm contracted with is non compliant with our contract?

    NedRN replied to OnaDee's topic in Travel

    What do you want to happen? The hospital to provide you with 12 hour shifts that don't work for them? It is a shame that they discovered that they cannot get travelers unless they lie about their...

    I think environmental services managers would disagree strongly with your characterization. The one I know at my current assignment is heavily involved with infection and traffic control. Degreed...

    I just googled "nedrn faq" and the first three hits will take you there. Are you using a different search engine? You don't want to market your agency as I can promise you that there is not a single...

  6. Moving while traveling

    NedRN replied to perfexion's topic in Travel

    TravelTax may be the name you are trying to remember. Tax homes do not linger but shift immediately. They have no connection to the calendar year. If you give up your residence, either your tax home...

    NedRN replied to keevadsteph's topic in Travel

    The same could be said of housekeeping. I think most would also consider housekeeping also to be dead end jobs with minimal mobility and minimum wage upside. I think that is why most of the readers...

    NedRN replied to Jessicadunbar's topic in Travel

    Could be easy, but it may not be an assignment you like when you get there. Remember you are competing with many other medsurg nurses for many other agencies. The jobs left for you are likely ones no...

  12. How much of a discount for extended stay hotel?

    NedRN replied to llb_rn's topic in Travel

    If you want to do it the easy way, try the companies I mentioned. Even easier is to just let the agency take care of it, but I assume you are hoping to save a portion of the housing stipend. Everyone...

  13. How much of a discount for extended stay hotel?

    NedRN replied to llb_rn's topic in Travel

    $300 a week? That is just about as low as it gets. You can certainly ask your agency about special rates. You should get the same rate they can get if you tell the hotel that you are their employee....

  14. Contract? Is this fair?

    NedRN replied to dimplechinRN's topic in Travel

    The real answer to your question is how does that offer compare with other offers you have received from other agencies in the same area? If you don't know the answer it means you are approaching this...

    NedRN replied to PacoUSA's topic in Travel

    There is no IRS 50 mile rule at all! Well there is for deducting a moving allowance but that doesn't apply here. Some agencies have such an internal guideline as minimal due diligence for checking...

    NedRN replied to catie29's topic in Travel

    Besides Craigslist, I would recommend going over to UCSF's housing dept across the street (or used to be) from the hospital. They have some public access (might be better after getting your ID) to...

  20. Does anyone know where I might be able to take a N95 fit test?

    NedRN replied to tallynurse's topic in Travel

    Exactly how did you find out that you needed to get a fit test? Your agency told you and said you are on your own to both to find a provider and pay for it

    NedRN replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    My cynical nature makes me think this is a zero cost benefit for the agency and this likely to be of little value to you. If it was worth anything, the agency would use it and profit
