  1. Patient Ratio 1:8 and no tech!

    NedRN replied to newgradamy's topic in Travel

    Where was your first job? Where is the travel assignment? What is the staffing ration supposed to be according to the facility? We could use some context. Traveling in the South after working at a...

  2. Meleeo Healthcare Solutions

    NedRN replied to cinnamongal's topic in Travel

    Nope, I wouldn't. Possibly an extension but in either case, I myself would just move on. Lots of jobs, lots of assignments. No assignment is worth a lot of stress. Best I can figure out is there is a...

  3. Meleeo Healthcare Solutions

    NedRN replied to cinnamongal's topic in Travel

    Generally, the first agency to submit "owns" that traveler for that hospital. It is better to shop around first. I've done OK with new agencies and they often pay more to build their business. Perhaps...

  4. Operating room travel nursing

    NedRN replied to etodd123's topic in Travel

    It is not so easy to specialize as a traveler except in open hearts. Most hospitals are going to want general skills, although many are going to want strengths in a certain service like neuro or...

  5. Taking the leap to travel nursing

    NedRN replied to nyjcq's topic in Travel

    It is real, and breaks are fully relieved. You may still miss breaks but you will be paid an extra hour if you do. Sometimes ratios go up a bit intraday, but it is really impressive how hard most...

  6. previous public reprimand and traveling

    NedRN replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Travel

    I personally get my own written references using a form available on PanTravelers. This only takes a couple of minutes to fill out and I wait. Some travelers get more formal letters of reference, but...

  7. Need some guidance on where to start..

    NedRN replied to izzyjosheff's topic in Travel

    To travel, you need a solid two years of experience in a given specialty. No, you cannot travel in other specialties unless you get experience in them first. Medsurg is a great foundation for other...

    NedRN replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Travel

    Yes, unless you reside in a compact state, all your licenses will be single state. Good

    If there was such an agency, there would be only one

  10. I'm in peds, should I switch if I want to do travel nursing?

    NedRN replied to MontanaBerry's topic in Travel

    There are a lot more adults in hospitals than kids, so sure, you will have more

  11. Torn between travel nursing and where I'm at now

    NedRN replied to FilAmICU's topic in Travel

    That's a plus. You don't get tax free compensation without this tax home. Get a roommate to look after the place and help contribute to your mortgage. Most assignments will not float PACU nurses....

  12. Advice

    NedRN replied to Qing's topic in Travel

    Don't use agencies ever as references. Only

  13. Advice

    NedRN replied to Qing's topic in Travel

    All workers are disposable if those in power wish to run their businesses like that. You do not have to keep the same agency, and it might be better to switch anyway. You can just delete this...

  14. Just dropping in to say "hello" and offer a couple of tips :)

    NedRN replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    Is it necessary to have a speculative market to have a way to transfer funds? How do you ever have a stable value? That is just as bad as hyperinflation or deflation of poor economies. ACH transfers...

  15. Just dropping in to say "hello" and offer a couple of tips :)

    NedRN replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    You are completely missing the basics of investing which is a balanced portfolio. Touting a hot investment does everyone a disservice. How many here read the post and bought bitcoin at between $17,000...

  16. Travelling OR RN career?

    NedRN replied to kaekd's topic in Travel

    A real and dedicated trauma OR kept staffed and open is a rare beast found only in large inner city hospitals to the best of my knowledge. I only have ever seen one at Jackson Memorial in Miami, and...

  17. previous public reprimand and traveling

    NedRN replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Travel

    You might see if a statement from the BON in question will effectively clear you in clearheaded readers such as agencies and managers (remember your license verification is sent to facilities). Your...

  18. Did I get lowballed???

    NedRN replied to glbtrkkr's topic in Travel

    However the take home is better than the same amount fully taxed. I tend to agree the pay is pretty low, but that should not be a priority for the first ever travel assignment. Hopefully this will be...

  19. Did I get lowballed???

    NedRN replied to glbtrkkr's topic in Travel

    You are not going to get audited for making too low an hourly pay. The IRS has no idea of what you are getting paid in increments of less than one quarter reported earnings. Not that it matters as any...

  21. Private duty nursing-travel position

    NedRN replied to spitfire93's topic in Travel

    Generally, any position a nurse might have could be filled by a traveler. This seems like an edge case to me much more likely to be filled by local agencies only. I'd try calling some of the larger...

  23. Wanting to travel to NYC. Help!

    NedRN replied to pedhemoncRN's topic in Travel

    Absolutely agree with ChrisMMS, get a good fitting recruiter. Call lots of agencies and certainly discuss their NYC opportunities, but take notes and you will learn an immense amount about the...

  24. Travel nursing,clarify things

    NedRN replied to Nurse J1112's topic in Travel

    What acronyms are you puzzled about? While I don't know of an acronym list, you can read about the basics of traveler nursing with a free membership at PanTravelers. Travelers do not typically provide...

  25. Travel Nursing Resume

    NedRN replied to RaeMarieRN's topic in Travel

    By facility is best. In any case, the agency cannot comment on your competence or performance, only the facility can provide a reference. The agency is only a conduit for payroll. No manager is going...
