  1. Travel Newbie, Maybe

    NedRN replied to everchangingRN's topic in Travel

    Ohio? Boring. I live here, never worked here, never wanted to. Pay is bad. But the natives are

  2. Travel Pay

    NedRN replied to Redvet371's topic in Travel

    Cath lab for sure. But anything is possible with rapid response - especially if CMS is breathing down a hospital's neck and threatening to shut them down, even medsurg. On a regular basis? Probably...

  3. Travel Pay

    NedRN replied to Redvet371's topic in Travel

    Your best bet is to collect full offers and plug them into the traveler's calculator on PanTravelers. That boils them down to one number you can compare on a level playing field with other offers and...

    NedRN replied to felicianoelle22's topic in Travel

    You need 2 years of specialty experience to be competent and safe for contract work. It also takes about that long for you to develop the judgement and wisdom to know that is true. That said,...

    NedRN replied to NestorMedina's topic in Travel

    The Texas forum would be the best place to find local nurses.

  6. Adult CVOR to Peds CVOR

    NedRN replied to cue.eyeroll's topic in Travel

    I have at UCSF. Basics of OR nursing are the same. Scrubbing would be a different story and I would not want to dive into a tet

  7. Travel Nursing: tax home

    NedRN replied to wafuru's topic in Travel

    Indeed. There is a big difference between a calendar or tax year, and a 12 month year. Mind you, that is merely guidance from tax professionals defining the IRS rule, and lessons from Tax Court cases....

  8. Travel nurse benefits

    NedRN replied to misdmnr's topic in Travel

    So there are 400 agencies, I've only worked for a few. I've noticed some that do offer matching but as they always have a vesting period and I never quality, I've never paid any notice. So no, I...

  9. Travel Nursing: tax home

    NedRN replied to wafuru's topic in Travel

    If you are performing on a travel contract with an end date, and it is far enough away from your legitimate tax home that you cannot commute from home, and you have taken duplicated housing for that...

  10. Travel Nursing: tax home

    NedRN replied to wafuru's topic in Travel

    I agree about the compact license. The tax home is a bit more difficult and I'd recommend a free consult with Travel Tax to be clear about the details. But here is what I know: A tax home includes a...

  11. Travel Nursing: tax home

    NedRN replied to wafuru's topic in Travel

    Agree, moving to California may gain you a tax home, but you will not have a compact license. I don't see having a compact license as that big a deal as you will likely make more money in single...

  12. Working in Hawaii

    NedRN replied to Drea.RN's topic in Travel

    Have you any US state license? If yes, then you simply need to apply for a Hawaii license. If you have no US license, then you have a lot of stuff to go through. The main thing that will make that...

    Your disagreement is so respectful, I couldn't spot it!

  16. Is it possible be a competitive travel nurse with just an associate's degree?

    NedRN replied to TheBrazenBee66's topic in Travel

    Very, very few hospitals require a BSN of travelers. It has never entered any conversation about any travel assignment for me. Perhaps if you have a BSN trained nurse manager who thinks it is a big...

  17. first time in Alaska

    NedRN replied to Estateboy's topic in Travel

    It should be doable, but I don't really know the ground situation - which also may depend on your specialty and experience. Talk to a few agencies for more information. You may experience some culture...

    NedRN replied to Katya944's topic in Travel

  19. Travel Nursing Pros/Cons/Tips

    NedRN replied to princesspunch's topic in Travel

    There is no best agency. Your best bet is to talk to lots of agencies and pick three to five recruiters to work further with. Obviously, you want recruiters you communicate well with and trust. Agency...

  25. How much weekly pay should I aim for?
