  1. Resources for Housing

    NedRN replied to Lgarza's topic in Travel

    It is a win for both

  2. Resources for Housing

    NedRN replied to Lgarza's topic in Travel

    Craigslist is your first and best source. Besides cruising the various categories of available housing, post your own ad in housing wanted. Be specific and sell yourself. Mention that you are a travel...

  3. Pick My Nursing Business Name

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

    Get more creative. Are you really dependent on a dot com domain for good SEO? Lots of other domains. You can also expand your name for more chances of a dot com address. GiftsForNurses....

  4. Per diem agency to FT travel

    NedRN replied to KKEGS's topic in Travel

    You merely place both your school job and your per diem job on your work history for the same dates. Under per diem say multiple hospitals. Try to get written references from each hospital. Easier to...

  5. Med/Surg Travel Nursing

    NedRN replied to xanadu00's topic in Travel

    Not a medsurg nurse, but I can lend perspective on your marketability. It is good! ACLS is great so I don't think you will have any issues in telemetry. Complex surgical patients is also a good thing....

  6. What's the real deal with Travel Nursing?

    NedRN replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in Travel

    It is difficult not to carp about poor writing, yet it is fascinating how often such snarks are also full of errors. First sentence by phill_rn has no verb, and this last clause is certainly difficult...

  7. Where do you park your van?

    NedRN replied to wildnursebrendan's topic in Travel

    It is not that uncommon for hospitals to have a few RV hookups. They are intended for family of patients, but there is often a traveler using one of them. Sometimes for

  8. Travel RN Compensation vs. Current non-travel Compensation

    NedRN replied to Rain_ray2000's topic in Travel

    Some of New England pays well for staff, as well as parts of the Mid-Atlantic, and some union areas of the Midwest (when housing costs are considered into compensation), virtually all of the West...

    NedRN replied to amkare's topic in Travel

    Here is my take on the question.

  10. New Entrepreneur - how to get my website out there?

    NedRN replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I agree. SEO and social media being the first things to look at, lots of marketing books to buy for both. Don't hire anyone to do it, and pick a recent edition book - things evolve fast. Depth of...

  11. Homecare business setup

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

    It has been a while since I have visited this subforum, but as best I can tell, no one has the basics. The way to start a home health business is to learn it from the ground up. Get a job as a home...

  12. Pick My Nursing Business Name

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

    Seems to me NurseGifts will have the most pertinent results when someone is searching Google for a gift for a nurse. None of your picks seem to define your proposed business. ForNursesByNurses is...

  13. Interested in travel nursing

    NedRN replied to Katya944's topic in Travel

    One year of experience is minimum to travel medsurg. I'd be suspicious of any hospital that takes you with less. Why did you get the job over nurses with 10 years of specialty experience with 5 years...

  14. First timer travel nurse

    NedRN replied to sachung's topic in Travel

    Why not read some threads here? You will learn a lot, and then we can answer any specific question you didn't read about. Your question is far too open ended to say anything. There are some traveler...

  15. Request for a ton of info right from the start

    NedRN replied to Sunnysandy's topic in Travel

    If the recruiter at any agency refuses to share information about real and open assignments, nor will discuss a specific assignment's compensation, move on! Life is too short and there are many...

  16. Is this a fair offer?

    NedRN replied to royaso's topic in Travel

    You will like CA better than TX I suspect. Far more worker protections baked into legislation by assertive and strong nursing unions here. Which translates to some of the best working conditions for...

  17. Questions About Continuing Education Requirements

    NedRN replied to Myname82's topic in Travel

    Yes, most CEU claims are legit. ANCC is the gold standard accepted by anyone who checks CEUs and most nursing CEUs will be so accredited. Some CEU providers, such as BLS/ACLS classes are accredited by...

  18. Where do you park your van?

    NedRN replied to wildnursebrendan's topic in Travel

    Street parking (boondocking) is legal in most places, it would only be a city that might have a law against it. So unincorporated parts of counties are more likely to be legal than a city. That said,...

    NedRN replied to madRN10's topic in Travel

    Again, job boards

  20. Is this a fair offer?

    NedRN replied to royaso's topic in Travel

    That OT rate is likely after 8 hours on a 12 hour shift but I haven't done the math on your shift. Your rate after 40 should be at least $50 an hour and your "double time" rate after 12 hours should...

  21. Is this a fair offer?

    NedRN replied to royaso's topic in Travel

    Is this offer confirmed by a hospital interview? Do you have other offers? Other offers would be a sound foundation basis for any

    Sure, go ahead and share! That is what this forum is

  23. finding positions by specialty/area

    NedRN replied to madRN10's topic in Travel

    What is your specialty? There are no consolidated jobs list. Job sites may show availability but they are mostly "representative" jobs. No one can invest the work to keep their assignments current. A...
