  1. Keeping up with your licensure

    NedRN replied to niknak25's topic in Travel

    First things first! Why keep your licences current? That gets expensive and as you have discovered, hard to keep up with. It is also not necessary as you can renew in most states instantly with a late...

  2. Guaranteed hours, first contract questions

    NedRN replied to neonurse1287's topic in Travel

    An offer is only acceptable if it is acceptable to you. Did you discuss work schedule during the interview? If you are concerned, call the manager prior to accepting the

  3. What's the average time to get a contract?

    NedRN replied to irissage's topic in Travel

    Generally, if you haven't been interviewed in 3 days, your chances are poor. You are competing with a large pool of medsurg travelers and if your profile is at the bottom of a large stack on a...

  4. Contract questions, in over my head

    NedRN replied to Cowboyardee's topic in Travel

    Sure you "qualify", unless the hospital has a restriction greater than 100 miles (some do so they don't hurt permanent staff recruitment). From an IRS standpoint, your home will be where you move to,...

    NedRN replied to Underthemoonicp6's topic in Travel

    I thought I covered the issues pretty well, but I see other posters have added detail. If you want to read more about any of those issues, you can do a search on this site and find hours of happy...

    Myrtle Beach is cool. But I don't think the hospital there is the place you will find safe staffing

    I suspect the moderators will quickly delete that post. Yes, MSSI of Wisconsin is a good but very small agency. I've met them at the Travelers Conference in Vegas and even worked with them once. So...

    I'm not sorry! RNVIP is a notorious site that collects contact numbers and sells them to anyone. Recruiters hate having to cold call RN students and those just "thinking about it." The poor fools that...

    NedRN replied to justjude60's topic in Travel

    Thanks for that post. I had thought you needed a lawyer to collect penalties on top of pay owed. It it sounds as if the hospital was complicit in the pay issue. Parallon should have a profit motive...

    NedRN replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    Hi Joe, Please note my restraint in making jokes about accepting tokes. That would be quasi-legal at best in only a couple states. ;-). Also, IRS and logic! Are you able to cite a reference for an SO...

    NedRN replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    Hey Joe! There is no doubt this traveler has a tax home, having never lived anywhere else. The question is if she still has a tax home away from home on business. There is also no doubt that she will...

  20. Questions regarding Travel Nursing

    NedRN replied to geminiBSN75's topic in Travel

    That is a waste of your time, and the hospitals and can also lead to a lot of bad things from a traveler perspective. You are supposed to be sincerely interested in an assignment before submission. If...

    If you have trouble looking for housing, why not just let the agency provide it? Way easier, especially for a first

  22. Any Washington or Oregon Hospitals to avoid?

    NedRN replied to HikingNinja's topic in Travel

    NedRN replied to NurseAndLovinIt's topic in Travel

    Nope. IRS only sees withholding taxes. They have no idea what you make per hour. A large swing in income in our tax bracket will not trigger an

    No, it is not a walkthrough. But you can expedite a license application by doing LiveScan in
