    If you have never worked in NYC, probably not friendly for a new traveler. Insane patient loads in the

    NedRN replied to Avenger1's topic in Travel

    The recruiter is just wrong and is going to lose you, right? You have no way to force her to submit your profile so move on. But don't skip the ICU jobs. The skills checklist you filled out will...

  3. Nurse Recruiter Threatened Me after I Asked a Question: Need Advice

    NedRN replied to CGB's topic in Travel

    Sue you for breach of contract. Damages are specified (usually poorly) in the contract heavily favoring the agency. An easier route to punish the traveler is to ding their credit. Highly unethical but...

    NedRN replied to techraider77's topic in Travel

    Nope, full list

  5. Nurse Recruiter Threatened Me after I Asked a Question: Need Advice

    NedRN replied to CGB's topic in Travel

    Up to you. You can take the assignment or not. If you don't take it, the agency could sue you but is unlikely to do that. You can certainly expect a lot of noise from that recruiter. If you don't want...

  6. Nurse Recruiter Threatened Me after I Asked a Question: Need Advice

    NedRN replied to CGB's topic in Travel

    Forget about the signed contract. She cannot confirm you have the assignment from the hospital perspective, and in any case the contract is not valid unless you pass compliance. A couple...

  7. New England OR Assignment Suggestion

    NedRN replied to techraider77's topic in Travel

    Good experience at all I've been to. Concord, Bangor, Portland, Springfield, Pittsfield. Some of those were open heart. 8 months at Concord, multiple assignments at Springfield and Pittsfield. All...

  8. Nurse Entrepreneur Roll Call!

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

    Taken to extremes with every nurse an independent contractor, I would agree. But that cannot happen, employers have too much power and employees value job security and local ties too

  9. Nurse Entrepreneur Roll Call!

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

    Well, no. Established and efficient businesses have nothing to fear from entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs only make up a small fraction of one percent of most types of workforces. Using myself...

  10. Getting a travel jobs as a manager/educator

    NedRN replied to JenniferSews's topic in Travel

    I haven't met any nurse educators that are travelers but a ton of managers and directors. There are some specialty agencies (sorry, don't remember names), but big agencies like American Mobile and...

  11. Travel Nursing with Reprimands?

    NedRN replied to Jane the Nurse's topic in Travel

    Ah, that was the word I was struggling to find "expungement". Yes, good

  12. Travel Nursing with Reprimands?

    NedRN replied to Jane the Nurse's topic in Travel

    Collecting information about what actually appears on a license check may be helpful. You apparently have no restrictions to practice, right? Go to your state board nursing site and put in your...

  13. Traveler Orientations

    NedRN replied to Sean- BSN's topic in Travel

    The hospital orientation with mission statements and so on can be completely skipped. To the extent that device training, EMR training, and blood policies are taught during hospital orientation, these...

  14. Finding travel buddies for vacations as a TN?

    NedRN replied to ResumeRN's topic in Travel

    Easiest would be finding a travel buddy that take assignments with you. Then they may also choose to join you on vacations between assignments. Easiest because their schedule will be in perfect synch...

  15. How to go about becoming an independent contract nurse

    NedRN replied to Jeremy419's topic in Travel

    Sorry, not following. Are you getting paid stipends via another agency? Or are you billing per hour via your own agency and paying yourself stipends from the revenue

  16. wanting to renew contract with current facility, and switch companies

    NedRN replied to Fnj9977's topic in Travel

    Your options may not be that wide. Your current agency “owns” you for potentially a year after your last assignment with them ends. Legal and the hospital, at least is less scarce times, would...

  17. Seattle Nursing/ UW, Swedish or Harborview?

    NedRN replied to connecticut23's topic in Travel

    UW seems to be a favorite of local staff nurses. Of course, while I don't hear much about Harborview, it is a level one trauma center and part of UW (I did walk in there once and the staff was busy...

  18. How to go about becoming an independent contract nurse

    NedRN replied to Jeremy419's topic in Travel

    From my first post in this thread. It is not cool to link a business competitor to Allnurses, but a simple Google search should find it. But the reality from simply reading this thread, is that the...

  19. Nurse Finders/AMN Healthcare

    NedRN replied to allthatshines's topic in Travel

    Sorry you are having that problem. It might just be happenstance, but as the country's largest agency, they will automatically have the largest number of both happy and unhappy travelers. Some...

  20. Interest in Travel Nursing

    NedRN replied to behealthyitsfun's topic in Travel

    Ha, forgot to mention biggest hassle: housing. The way travel works is that you get a tax free housing stipend. The goal is to find your own housing and pocket the difference. There are resources,...

    1. Different any two individuals with their unique circumstances and relationship and career goals. 2. Yes. 3. Proportional to the number of staff jobs. The more fringe the specialty, the...

  22. Registering kids for school while traveling

    NedRN replied to MillionDollarNurse's topic in Travel

    Tough one! You might try contacting the local state representative. I suspect you are entitled to schooling as you are paying state income taxes and even more importantly, your Airbnb owner is paying...

  23. Working Too Long In One Place, My Boss Wants Me To Sign Contract

    NedRN replied to Melilem's topic in Travel

    Again, thanks. I didn't define tax home: it is an IRS construct that can be rather complicated. Usually it is simple for most travelers, it is a permanent residence that you travel away from on...

    There are not many nurses, working or retired, interested in geek topics like taxes! I appreciate your

    NedRN replied to Melilem's topic in Travel

    I know TravelTax personally and recommend him. Super ethical guy and will not do your taxes the way you might like if you don't follow the rules so he may not be for everyone. That said, if you have...
