  1. Is 63 too old to start traveling?

    NedRN replied to getoutnride's topic in Travel

    You are doing everything right (and no). Tele experience is super important for a medsurg traveler so get that. If possible, aim for 6 months of intermediate care (called different things in different...

  2. Texas license renewal

    NedRN replied to Memalicious's topic in Travel

    If you moved to AZ, you are not eligible for a multistate license from TX. Don't mess with Texas! If you use that license in another compact state, you may lose your license and you will be reported...

  3. Travel company advice

    NedRN replied to leslie_d's topic in Travel

    So American Mobile is not the evil empire they are often accused of being. They are just a really large agency. The numbers of online detractors is simply a reflection of how many travelers have...

  4. California "travel" RN

    NedRN replied to firemedic12's topic in Travel

    An experienced recruiter will give you good advice about travel assignments. It is their job! It is your job to find good recruiters who will get you a friendly assignment well within your clinical...

  5. What do you look for in Housing ?

    NedRN replied to whitmanearth's topic in Travel

    I prefer to commute by bicycle so location is really important. Next I like low cost and convenience so a roommate situation is really good for me - furnished and utilities turned on. Obviously both...

  6. Any guide on the legal requirements for starting a nurse staffing agency?

    NedRN replied to jjdd's topic in Travel

    Register with a state agency such as workers comp. A foreign corp is one that is not domiciled in a work state. Your domiciled state is the state you formed your business entity in. It is easiest to...

  7. Any guide on the legal requirements for starting a nurse staffing agency?

    NedRN replied to jjdd's topic in Travel

    S corp, sole proprietor, and LLCs that do not chose regular taxation are all taxed the same. You are generally best off filing for a business entity in your home state. You can make your own business...

  8. Good OR experience for traveling

    NedRN replied to Nuru's topic in Travel

    So yes, even smaller hospitals may have specialty teams. It certainly is possible to travel with a focus in a specialty, but other than the extreme example of CVOR, most hospitals will expect you to...

    No idea how things will work out with your

  10. Travel nurse question

    NedRN replied to Izzygirl99's topic in Travel

    So still no answer about what resources you've accessed. If any. Again, this forum is to help travelers. Not to provide help to

  11. Good OR experience for traveling

    NedRN replied to Nuru's topic in Travel

    Not as good obviously. Won't have the number of services, nor the different kind of cases she can see at the "mega" hospital. Even more important, it is unlikely to offer the kind of training...

  12. Travel nursing?

    NedRN replied to OddSunshine's topic in Travel

    What sort of opinions are you looking for? A common general response will be two years experience needed in the specialty you want to travel in, from travelers to many agencies. And the reality is...

  13. I want to start travel nursing in Washington State in a few months

    NedRN replied to Heartonmysleeves's topic in Travel

    A good recruiter who cares more about successful assignments especially for newer travelers than tip top pay is best. If you don’ trust your recruiter, you really shouldn’t use them. But you...

  14. Travel nurse question

    NedRN replied to Izzygirl99's topic in Travel

    Wow! If you are a recruiter, you are a really bad one. I gave you some suggestions. If you want to stop being defensive, why not answer my "legit" questions about why not query your own travelers and...

  15. LTC travel

    NedRN replied to jobellestarr's topic in Travel

    If you need to go somewhere specific, I would call local agencies first. They are unlikely to do "travel" but can do a contract. If not fussy, try very large agencies such as American Mobile or Cross...

  16. Travel nurse question

    NedRN replied to Izzygirl99's topic in Travel

    Sorry, I'm not buying into this. This sounds like a fishing trip for new travelers for your agency and similar questions have been posed here in the past. First post ever is a big clue to your...

    NedRN replied to jjdd's topic in Travel

    Less paperwork and rules. No difference in selling

  18. Any guide on the legal requirements for starting a nurse staffing agency?

    NedRN replied to jjdd's topic in Travel

    When I composed that blog in 2005, LLCs were not common and there was little case law settled (no travel companies, none, had thta form at the time). Thus the choices appeared to be simply a C or S...

  19. Best private health insurance for travel nurses

    NedRN replied to Misstravelrn's topic in Travel

    Virtually all employees have a hidden health insurance subsidy paid by the employer. COBRA is an ex-employee paying the full underlying cost of the health

  20. Leaving NYC to become a Travel Nurse

    NedRN replied to StacyAtheNurse's topic in Travel

    I would try a free consult with TravelTax to check allowable rental use. The general rule is you must have a room that is exclusively yours you can return to at any time. Possible that AirBnB still...

  21. Leaving NYC to become a Travel Nurse

    NedRN replied to StacyAtheNurse's topic in Travel

    One other financial thought for you: a good bit of the "great" compensation of travel nurses is the tax free portion for housing and meals. To qualify, you must be traveling for business away from an...

  22. Leaving NYC to become a Travel Nurse

    NedRN replied to StacyAtheNurse's topic in Travel

    Those advertised numbers are total compensation. You will have to pay for housing and insurance. Higher paying assignments are usually where housing costs are the highest. Pretty hard to pencil out an...

  23. Any guide on the legal requirements for starting a nurse staffing agency?

    NedRN replied to jjdd's topic in Travel

    Yup basics still the same. Industry has changed in that vendor managers are much more dominant now. Those are much harder to staff for a new agency without prior industry experience. No change for new...

    Travel nursing agency? No laws specific to California - I've done a lot of work there. A couple of states require registration with the state BON. Rhode Island requires a physical presence in the...
