  1. Two 13-week travel assignments, at once - feasible?

    NedRN replied to Sunnysandy's topic in Travel

    Nope, and it is nutty for several reasons. First, you are better off financially and sanity wise to take rapid response type of jobs where you can work seven days a week if you want. Overtime instead...

  2. To Travel or Not?

    NedRN replied to Stella_Blue's topic in Travel

    OK, how about some upsides to travel? New hospitals, procedures, pt populations, and culture keep you sharp, learning, and motivated. Outside of work, a never seen before area gives you lots to...

  3. Travel home Health in Alaska

    NedRN replied to Bellarose77's topic in Travel

    Check with AK local agencies. It might be rather difficult to find a travel position after such an absence. Most states require 500 worked hours as well since last licensure period. If not, some...

  4. Why so long?

    NedRN replied to futurepsychrn's topic in Travel

    Are you fully signed up with a couple of agencies? If not, there is a game of one more thing we need before submitting you that can be played for a long time. Even after being fully signed up,...

  5. Travel Nurse Tax Question

    NedRN replied to MedicineAndMuscles's topic in Travel

    Why do you refer to two permanent residences? Is this travel gig your sole place of employment and at one location only? If so, you will be in trouble if audited. If you are a legitimate traveler, you...

  6. Cynet..good or bad?

    NedRN replied to Kklimited's topic in Travel

    I would highly recommend that no one use this site. It is a marketing site that exists to sell your contact information to all agencies. If you want random agencies and recruiters (usually recruiters...

  7. Lost Nurse in the OR

    NedRN replied to KNest18's topic in General Nursing

    If you like patient interaction, inpatient OR is certainly wrong. Consider a physician practice for a low stress (usually) work environment with high personal interaction and teamwork. Pay is less,...

  8. Lost Nurse in the OR

    NedRN replied to KNest18's topic in General Nursing

    Some internships are 18 months. I was in orientation for close to 9 months (always third person in room) in a large teaching hospital rotating through all the services scrubbing and circulating. So...

  9. Travel Nursing

    NedRN replied to Klori's topic in Travel

    I'll ditto the rest of the comments about experience. That said, there is nothing to prevent you from gaining that experience somewhere in California. I'd suggest getting some references and start...

    NedRN replied to tinyRN72's topic in Travel

    What you are describing is fraud. Not even ignorance of the law could be claimed here. You clearly know it is wrong. If you want to learn more, I've already cited several authoritative

  11. Travel Nursing is Always an Adventure

    NedRN replied to tinyRN72's topic in Travel

    Any crime works for the perpetrator if they don't get caught. Thus it is morally acceptable? I would suggest you don't say anything further, you have mentioned helping one fraud, and have pointed out...

  12. Two Timin'

    NedRN replied to Ado Annie's topic in Travel

    Build a professional portfolio. That makes it easy to add a new agency, just ship them all your documents - after being careful that you truly want to work for them. Three to five agencies is about...

  13. Travel Nursing is Always an Adventure

    NedRN replied to tinyRN72's topic in Travel

    You do have a tax home! The standard is a preponderance of evidence, not a single item. With zero corroborating evidence per earlier post that presents a problem. You have a historical long term...

  14. Travel Nursing is Always an Adventure

    NedRN replied to tinyRN72's topic in Travel

    Just to add a bit more to the moral arithmetic here, most shoplifters don't get caught either. That doesn't make it right, and the consequences to a registered nurse could be severe if caught...

  15. Travel Nursing is Always an Adventure

    NedRN replied to tinyRN72's topic in Travel

    Your recruiter was telling you the agency line in that they would not place you within 50 miles because they would then not be able to give you tax free stipends, at least on the check if not at the...

  16. Travel Nursing is Always an Adventure

    NedRN replied to tinyRN72's topic in Travel

    I would suggest for those interested in learning more about tax homes to read the articles on PanTravelers or TravelTax. There are a number of possible fatal mistakes. Too much content to describe...

  17. Travel Nursing is Always an Adventure

    NedRN replied to tinyRN72's topic in Travel

    If you rent a room in your house or apartment and still live there, fine. But if you rent out your entire residence, obviously, you no longer live there and do not meet the criteria for a tax home....

  18. Travel Nursing is Always an Adventure

    NedRN replied to tinyRN72's topic in Travel

    To be eligible for tax benefits related to working away from home, you have to be, well, working away from home. A fictitious address that you don't actually live at and return to regularly is...

  19. Travel Nursing is Always an Adventure

    NedRN replied to tinyRN72's topic in Travel

    Wow, quite the potpourri of misinformation has suddenly been posted. All travel companies that offer "tax advantage", a benefit for the added expenses of working away from home. They document minimal...

  20. Where to post for house to rent?

    NedRN replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Travel

    One advantage of AirbnB and the temp housing companies is

  21. Where to post for house to rent?

    NedRN replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Travel

    Craigslist, AirBnB are the easy choices. I typically look at Craigslist temp housing before I get to an assignment, there are usually ads specifically targeting travel nurses as they make desirable...

  22. Help!!!!!!!

    NedRN replied to CAM143's topic in Travel

    You are looking for validation, someone to tell you it is OK to break your contract? Do what you have to do, what help do you really need? Take charge of your own life and do what you think is

  23. Travel Nursing is Always an Adventure

    NedRN replied to tinyRN72's topic in Travel

    I’m surprised you’ve only seen this once. No matter how good a traveler’s work history might appear, it is only prudent to not give them the most challenging cases until proven. There are...

  24. Travel Nursing is Always an Adventure

    NedRN replied to tinyRN72's topic in Travel

    Certainly one of the best posts I've seen on travel nursing! This coming from a 25 year travel

  25. Changing contract midstrea

    NedRN replied to Hjacobs510's topic in Travel

    Certainly not unheard of to be asked and my advice has always been the consistent answer I gave you. Yes, newer recruiters (and even experienced ones) don't get contracts, hourly workers, and how...
