  1. Florida Travel~Need Help!

    NedRN replied to jessescoggins's topic in Travel

    Most travel contracts place restrictions on going perm for 6 or 12 months after your assignment is done. Yes it is possible if the hospital is willing to pay a large placement fee. But you are likely...

  3. Compensation in Texas

    NedRN replied to Underthemoonicp6's topic in Travel

    I'm not knocking a good attitude at all, in fact it is really essential! I applaud your conscious

  4. Compensation in Texas

    NedRN replied to Underthemoonicp6's topic in Travel

    I think it is a truism that nurses (or anyone) who have superior people skills or coping (attitude and zen maintenance) skills will do better anywhere relative to the average person. That said, for...

    I separate travel assignments from staff jobs and label

  7. Housing Expenses/ Cost of Living

    NedRN replied to bryshep's topic in Travel

    Prestigious hospitals yes. Prestigious agencies? I don't put agencies on my resume and I can't imagine who would care about an agency. Neither should you in fact. The best predictor for successful...

  8. SO much anxiety I don't want to go back

    NedRN replied to Mary C's topic in Travel

    Yes, hang out here and tell potential travelers to never take a short assignment for their first ever time. Recipe for disaster as you have discovered. Yes, the original poster had an issue with a...

  9. Housing Expenses/ Cost of Living

    NedRN replied to bryshep's topic in Travel

    Yes, you have to take the cost of housing into the total compensation. In 20 years of traveling, I've never been in an extended stay - too expensive. It may well be affordable if your pay is enough,...

  10. 7 Year Address History

    NedRN replied to PacoUSA's topic in Travel

    The jumbled mess came from the SSN trace most of which derives from credit reporting agencies. The information they have is supplied by various sources such as financial institutions, landlords, and...

  11. Is this a good contract?

    NedRN replied to PhillyFNP's topic in Travel

    You can ask all you want to regardless of what posters on the Internet suggest. But don't think you can use internet numbers as a negotiating point. Real numbers from other quotes would be the way to...

  12. California Travel Nurse Pay

    NedRN replied to NurseKayla's topic in Travel

    It changes daily sometimes. In general, north pays better than south. The Central Valley can mimic southern or Northern California. Why do you ask? If you are chasing the money, simply ask your...

  13. Is this a good contract?

    NedRN replied to PhillyFNP's topic in Travel

    I gave you a straight answer on how to get a good answer. There are too many variables to be able to give you a "correct" number. In fact, you haven't provided enough information about your...

  14. 7 Year Address History

    NedRN replied to PacoUSA's topic in Travel

    What's a "permanent" address? More seriously, you can commit felonies/misdemeanors anywhere. Addresses help narrow the search to specific locations. Many locations are not computerized so there is a...

  15. 7 Year Address History

    NedRN replied to PacoUSA's topic in Travel

    Your "application" for a background check will not be turned down so feel free to fill it out as you please. Most of your addresses will come up anyway on the SSN trace. For the level of checking that...

  16. Is this a good contract?

    NedRN replied to PhillyFNP's topic in Travel

    The only way to find out if your compensation is market rate is by looking at the market. Call more agencies and find out what they are offering for your specialty (whatever it is) and experience in...

    NedRN replied to perfexion's topic in Travel

    Name badges for sure. Nice record. I visited a travel nurse at his house and he had them all displayed on a

  19. Travel Recruiting

    NedRN replied to USTravelNurses's topic in Travel

    Nope, the calls will never stop until phone numbers are changed. I advise travelers never to give out their number unless they are sure that they really want to work with a specific recruiter. Caller...

  20. SO much anxiety I don't want to go back

    NedRN replied to Mary C's topic in Travel

    The agency cannot go to bat for you and you need to understand their perspective. The hospital is their client not you. The agency has no control over your work or your workplace. Your recruiter is in...

  21. SO much anxiety I don't want to go back

    NedRN replied to Mary C's topic in Travel

    This will sound harsh, but you are headed for failure here. You are not 15 living in a goldfish bowl, you need a thicker skin. You need to disregard what people are actually saying about you or what...

  22. Was she lying?

    NedRN replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    Among other variables, every agency can have a different contract with that hospital. The lower paying agency may not be able at their rate and overhead to attract and submit qualified travelers....

    NedRN replied to Mary C's topic in Travel

    Things will get better. And you will be much stronger nurse at the end. Then you can make another career decision. Hang in

  24. Which comes first...

    NedRN replied to dutchie's topic in Travel

    Nothing additional to add. Traveling with pets is always harder no matter the agency. What they might tell you up front may change when they actually try to get

  25. Which comes first...

    NedRN replied to dutchie's topic in Travel

    Location is first for most people but qualified by pay. Housing should be a given. But it doesn't matter what order you discuss these things in (well.. does housing really matter if they don't have a...
