  1. third contract and still first day anxiety

    NedRN replied to aprilbutler70's topic in Travel

    Seems normal to me. You are entering an already running unit and the only unknown factor to staff is you. So of course you will be evaluated by your coworkers until proven, and you have a much bigger...

  2. Quad city travelers

    NedRN replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    Name of an agency? Area?

  3. Business Plan in Nursing

    NedRN replied to cisla's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    A business plan is just that, nursing or not. You will have to customize a plan for your business, but you can easily find examples or books to assist the process. There are a number of standard...

  4. Home based RN business

    NedRN replied to DavinaRN's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    No idea, sorry. I would think it would be less than for acute care RN though and would certainly depend on your area. Entry employee pay for nurses varies by a factor of three, and experienced RNs by...

  5. Business Brainstorm

    NedRN replied to kalevra's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Any place where there is a need, businesses form to meet it. There are very few original ideas and even if you do come up with a new business idea, it will probably not be a licence to mint money and...

  6. Nurse Consultant (NOT LNC)

    NedRN replied to Nurse_Ratched's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Marketing would be a major business concern. How would you find deep pocketed clients who can afford to pay you cash? While it wouldn't satisfy your need to directly manage your own career as a...

  7. Home based RN business

    NedRN replied to DavinaRN's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    There are lots of methods you can use to help determine bill rates. The easiest is to ask the facility what they would like to pay. That is usually the starting point for negotiation but of course you...

  8. Any Fastaff nurses?

    NedRN replied to perfexion's topic in Travel

    Fastaff contracts are usually based on 48 hours and they calculate margins and expenses on that basis. You may have to take a hourly pay cut if you work just

  9. How would agency find out?

    NedRN replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    If it is in the hospital contract, they have to tell the agency. If it is in your contract and you do not inform the agency, it is possible you might be held personally liable for the commission,...

  10. Registry in Cali

    NedRN replied to ERRN324's topic in Travel

    I'm not an expert but I can speculate about the why. Since the 2008 economic decline, management can see a lot of economic risk and flat or declining revenues. So locking in increased staff costs and...

    Do you get paid for working as a nurse? Is that

  13. Home based RN business

    NedRN replied to DavinaRN's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Limited Liability Company. We can start any business in any type of entity that we wish to, just like any other person. The challenge is leveraging our education and experience. I've formed my own...

  15. Stanford travel / Level I teaching facility in CA

    NedRN replied to sarahc331's topic in Travel

    An agency may be able to put you up short term in an extended stay but not an apartment. So can a traveler. So the stipend would still be better with your

  16. IV clinics for hangovers

    NedRN replied to floridaRN38's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    This is a discussion forum, not patient documentation. I think I made my opinion clear, and yours is clear as well. You believe this is an inappropriate business model for nurses to engage in. That is...

  17. IV clinics for hangovers

    NedRN replied to floridaRN38's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    The original poster asked about how to find a medical director, no one has suggested to do it without legal authority. People who drink too much become drunk, hence the common usage of "drunk". If...

  18. Registry in Cali

    NedRN replied to ERRN324's topic in Travel

    Registry is another term for agency. Also per diem but that term can be used for both agency and hospital staff. Block booking is possible at some hospitals with consistent needs but they usually have...

  19. Prophecy Testing EXCESSIVE, whoa

    NedRN replied to GingerTravelRN's topic in Travel

    In part, this is thanks to the JC marketing program AKA JC agency certification. Nope, no evidence that it improves patient care or screens providers appropriately. PBDS has a better claim. There...

  20. Titers Paid By Traveler?

    NedRN replied to aamy's topic in Travel

    Titers are not a pre-employment requirement generally. If they require them post employment, employers must foot the bill. Open and shut. If you are working for an agency, they can get away with that...

  21. Titers Paid By Traveler?

    NedRN replied to aamy's topic in Travel

    Both Labcorp and Quest will fax your results if you request it when labs are drawn (if done outside of California). I realize most travelers may not have fax numbers but for me, my online service...

  22. Permanent Placement?

    NedRN replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    Isn't perm placement for staff positions? Either way I also addressed one issue of going through an agency for a staff position and that is

  23. Permanent Placement?

    NedRN replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    Read your first post. You asked what the pros and cons were of a staff

  24. Permanent Placement?

    NedRN replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    You've had a staff job. Seems weird to ask about advantages of a different staff job. I'm not sure what the advantage is to working with an agency for limited perm jobs (other than a commission for...

  25. New to Travel Nursing....Need Help!!

    NedRN replied to 1SassyRN's topic in Travel

    PanTravelers had a nifty board list to quickly determine licensure costs but more importantly, time. Recruiters should have the info about specific assignments. One of the best ways to educate...
