  1. Traveling Couples?

    NedRN replied to Jace_b7's topic in Travel

    Yes. After first spending two or three years becoming proficient in a specialty at a staff

  2. Living overseas

    NedRN replied to JMoore_2007's topic in Travel

    You will have to prove permanent residence status if you are audited by the IRS as part of defending your tax home. Depending on the country of residence, you may owe taxes on your worldwide income in...

  3. Living overseas

    NedRN replied to JMoore_2007's topic in Travel

    A tax home does not need to be located in the United States. I know one traveler who resides in Costa Rico and of course there are many

  4. Changing specialties while travel nursing

    NedRN replied to VegRN723's topic in Travel

    You might want to do a search of Allnurses (easier with Google than the built-in search). This subject comes up a good bit and I doubt there is anything new to be said. But in a word or two, difficult...

  5. Should I Travel?

    NedRN replied to LaR3N's topic in Travel

    Only one year of medsurg? See if you can switch specialties right now. No time to

  6. Should I Travel?

    NedRN replied to LaR3N's topic in Travel

    Travel is more lucrative for higher trained nurses in acute care, no other way to put it. That is very different from staff positions at most hospitals where all positions may pay the same. So yes,...

  7. Researching Hospitals Before Signing Contracts

    NedRN replied to infinitynotzero's topic in Travel

    By working with experienced and honest recruiters you communicate well with. By careful interviews with the manager. Being aware that high compensation may be there for good cause. By having several...

  8. Travel company refusing to pay for time worked.

    NedRN replied to JDougRN's topic in Travel

    Legislators cannot fix this. It would require a breach of contract lawsuit in a civil court. Not worth

  9. I committed the cardinal sin of travel nursing

    What have you decided to

  10. Travel nurses would you agree to this for housing

    NedRN replied to jsoto958's topic in Travel

    Travel nurses are working away from home. They still live in their home. A change of job will not come up in a loan

  11. Travel nurses would you agree to this for housing

    NedRN replied to jsoto958's topic in Travel

    $650 is a value proposition these days for a house share. I'd do it! Share availability with hospital staffing - you may get residents and locum tenums as well as travel nurses. List on AirBnB too...

  12. Cancelling a contract

    NedRN replied to nursy_2014's topic in Travel

    Have to disagree with you on this one. Engaged or married is a full commitment and you should be all in. Getting a prenup or saving mad money is not committing. It is good it didn't go further of...

  13. Cancelling a contract

    NedRN replied to nursy_2014's topic in Travel

    Bail and go to Florida. It will lower your stress at a critical life inflection point. There are a couple other options. If it was me, I'd rent a car and sleep in it and shower at the hospital. Not...

  14. New travel nurse

    NedRN replied to ggiusto's topic in Travel

    If you live in a compact state, you have a compact license. No separate application in any

  15. Per diem VS travel

    NedRN replied to 8-ball's topic in Travel

    Do a consult with TravelTax. Your accountant is also wrong about a sabbatical around one year and then going back to your open ended per diem job with or without a travel assignment. Doing that would...

  16. To Travel or Not?!?!

    NedRN replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in Travel

    Travel hours may be guaranteed, but only for three months and you may not be renewed. Travelers are far more likely to be terminated than in house staff at any time - a contract is not as protective...

  17. To Travel or Not?!?!

    NedRN replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in Travel

    If you don't need benefits, why not do in-house per diem for a higher hourly amount? If your hospital always uses travelers, you should have no problem working full

  18. Per diem VS travel

    NedRN replied to 8-ball's topic in Travel

    Sorry, your accountant is wrong. Let's say you are a local resident. You take a per diem job. Fully taxed, right? No difference between that and you. Nor should there be. Right? Otherwise everyone...

  19. Travel company refusing to pay for time worked.

    NedRN replied to JDougRN's topic in Travel

    You will have to sue the agency for breach of contract. You have a reasonable case as standard practice if they didn't receive your time is to ask within a day or so. Kind of astonishing that they...

  20. Switching agencies

    NedRN replied to guest974915's topic in Travel

    I would keep the relationship by telling the truth, that you took an attractive contract but would like to stay in touch. Apologize for not giving them a shot at the same assignment. If they had it...

  21. I committed the cardinal sin of travel nursing

    NedRN replied to perfexion's topic in Travel

    It is not hard or unethical to change a letterhead on compliance docs. Of course, the format will be different but irrelevant. Depending, the hospital may not even see all of them them as the agency...

  22. I committed the cardinal sin of travel nursing

    NedRN replied to perfexion's topic in Travel

    I'm not sure I would phrase stuff exactly the way I did. Fast example. You have to try to be as soft as possible so an agency doesn't take a strict view on the contract. Yes, the problem is self...

  23. Per diem VS travel

    NedRN replied to 8-ball's topic in Travel

    Per diem needs to be incidental to a travel assignment, not the other way around. If you first take an open ended job like per diem, that is your tax home and the travel assignment is now a local...

  24. Travel nursing relocation reimbursement

    NedRN replied to sandradee143's topic in Travel

    Here are the basics of how this business works. Hopefully this will be simple enough but happy to followup. On virtually all contracts, there is an all inclusive bill rate per hour worked. This is...

  25. Travel nursing relocation reimbursement

    They can do anything they want absent an agreement. What does your contract
