  1. what exactly is negociable in travel nursing?

    NedRN replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Travel

    Everything depends on your profile, and supply and demand. If there are enough NICU nurses with the requisite experience who are willing to go to that location for the underlying bill rate offered,...

  2. Interviewing with pending travel contract?

    NedRN replied to GermanCookie's topic in Travel

    You should have been submitted if you filled out an application. Whether there was an open travel assignment could be less clear. Who knows what HR or more importantly the manager wants unless you...

  3. Travel

    NedRN replied to Drand's topic in Travel

    You probably will need a staff job first. No hospital will want a traveler who has not worked in 12 years. They want recent experience that suggests you can hit the ground running with minimal...

  4. Interviewing with pending travel contract?

    NedRN replied to GermanCookie's topic in Travel

    Let me see if I follow this. You are working with an agency on a travel contract for the same hospital where you previously applied for a staff job. You have not committed nor interviewed for either....

  5. Doane University credit transfer

    NedRN replied to truleeblezdRN's topic in Travel

    I wouldn't do it without talking to the CA BRN. It will probably depend on school accreditation. Kind of astonishing your nursing program didn't require micro. If you are not traveling, look into a...

  6. New tax bill and reimbursement

    NedRN replied to MattyIrie's topic in Travel

    It looks like TravelTax's 2018 summary is still a work in progress, but for the vast majority of travelers, the changes are a small plus for travelers who don't itemize. The compensation package and...

  7. Where do you park your van?

    NedRN replied to wildnursebrendan's topic in Travel

    Good one! Never would have thought of discussing that although the personal importance (or for stealth parking) is clear. To NPbyDay: RV lifestyle is similar to traveling in at least one way, you do...

  9. Best Travel Agencies? Worst?

    NedRN replied to NurseDee118's topic in Travel

    Union areas. Not sure if I can be more specific as I've never worked in the Midwest. Washington DC metro area for sure is classic Mid-Atlantic. No there too. Non union Ohio is $25. Your questions...

  10. Best Travel Agencies? Worst?

    NedRN replied to NurseDee118's topic in Travel

    Worst is easy: Aureus. There are a few other bad ones but mostly it is irrelevant. Agency brand is way less important than a good recruiter a good recruiter at a bad agency is much better than the...

    Congrats!

  12. Overnight hospital parking in a bus/RV

    NedRN replied to guest901464's topic in Travel

    This general topic comes up a lot, but your specific question came up very recently. Take a look at this thread: https://allnurses.com/travel-nursing/where-do-you-1136363.html If you do a search on...

  13. I have signed up for Fresenius's Travel program.

    NedRN replied to iAMaPCT's topic in Travel

    Umm, many if not most agencies provide a full breakdown of compensation. They will also separate taxable from non-taxable, and your take home pay. I can promise you no travel nurse is paid $25...

  15. Travel nursing home exchange?

    NedRN replied to JQRN's topic in Travel

    I'd say that the vast majority of travelers do not have local travel jobs and that staff pay is low in their area. Plus it would be pure luck if logistically there were the right jobs in the right...

  16. Tele RN Pursuing PCU Assignments

    NedRN replied to PacoUSA's topic in Travel

    I have to believe there are ICU's out there who would love someone with your experience in a shortened internship. There is an association of teaching hospitals. Find them online, and start cold...

  17. Tele RN Pursuing PCU Assignments

    NedRN replied to PacoUSA's topic in Travel

    Consider applying at the PCU that offered you a staff position two years ago. I will say that my thoughts that PCU or step down job is much more difficult in many ways than ICU. You could have a...

  18. Learn new specialty or pick up another travel assignment

    NedRN replied to amy0123's topic in Travel

    Ten years and perhaps you feel like you are in a rut? Sure, shake it off and start new again with a new specialty. Fun to have a steep learning curve and feel like you are meeting your potential. But...

  19. Do you invest?

    There will be plenty more opportunities to invest in a bubble and win or

  20. How many years experience for NICU travel nursing?

    NedRN replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Travel

    Start with an assignment well within your skills at a traveler friendly hospital (you need a good recruiter you can trust who has placed in the same NICU they have open). You do not want to be...

  21. Do you invest?

    NedRN replied to William2's topic in General Nursing

    Regular 401s are technically pretax. However there are two caveats. One is that if you have a low income year, you can move funds from your regular 401 to a Roth IRA. This is a taxable event, but if...

  22. Travel Nursing in rural NC

    NedRN replied to ptsfirst's topic in Travel

    One medsurg position was filled today in Eureka. There might be one more, a little difficult for me to say with the info I have. The whole thing may have been a big game by the vendor manager...

  24. Where are the new grad NICU positions?

    NedRN replied to diman's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    What a great thread for new grads! I'm just passing through to see what is here. Hi ICUman! Are you interested in NICU? I clicked through the Cone Health link in the last post, just curious. Nice to...

  25. NICU travel nursing

    NedRN replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Travel

    Two years specialty experience is always best. You can certainly improve your clinical skills traveling, but you need a good foundation first. Even though most NICUs are unlikely to give their...
