  1. Do you list your agency on your resume?

    NedRN replied to Sunnysandy's topic in Travel

    Repetition looks dumb. Don't do

  2. travel nursing in Aruba

    NedRN replied to Clzepeda's topic in Travel

    Try Worldwide. They have more exotic locations than any other agency I know of. Good luck, you will need it. No nursing shortage in the Netherlands so nurses from there would likely fill any temp...

  3. Do you list your agency on your resume?

    NedRN replied to Sunnysandy's topic in Travel

    Go to Resources>Downloads. They have examples of resumes with long work histories and not much experience. They are designed for travelers. Resumes to get a staff job are differently designed...

  4. Fires in NorCal

    NedRN replied to 8-ball's topic in Travel

    As far as I know, there are no crisis needs. That is what you would need to open discussions, and the agency would first have to try to get the higher bill rate. I wouldn't broach the subject unless...

  5. Do you list your agency on your resume?

    NedRN replied to Sunnysandy's topic in Travel

    I don't. The agency is irrelevant in my opinion. I don't work under their supervision, nor are they even qualified to give me a work reference. Those must come from your direct supervisors on your...

  6. How can I avoid this scenario?

    NedRN replied to I<3Endo's topic in Travel

    Agency A is scamming you. If they had a "close" relationship with the hospital, they would have had a contract in place and could have given you a quote. They are using your profile to try to open up...

  7. ICU travel nursing in South florida

    NedRN replied to vzcookie's topic in Travel

    Most reviews will be negative, that is just human nature. However, the broad negative comments about Florida, especially south Florida, are correct in general. Docs are abusive, hospitals are mostly...

  8. Confused about negotiations

    NedRN replied to CNOR11's topic in Travel

    I would avoid. No harm in getting a quote as long as you don't do all the profile paperwork. Then you can make an informed

  9. Confused about negotiations

    NedRN replied to CNOR11's topic in Travel

    "For the most part" I said. You are certainly the biggest exception (that I know of) and I thought of you when I wrote the post. Hopefully I was

  10. Confused about negotiations

    NedRN replied to CNOR11's topic in Travel

    It certainly seems to be common sense to cut out middlemen, but the way it works in real life is counterintuitive. The real reason is the same even without a vendor manager involved and involves...

  11. Confused about negotiations

    NedRN replied to CNOR11's topic in Travel

    I like Kaiser personally. But I'm OR. Most other specialties have to float, up to every four hours. That is tough, especially for a new traveler so many travelers hate them. Pay is good so I'd suggest...

  12. Confused about negotiations

    NedRN replied to CNOR11's topic in Travel

    Negotiation requires a position of strength. You have profit making potential they cannot have without you. But that is not really enough. What price will the market bear? How would you know unless...

  13. Living in an RV. Need tax help

    NedRN replied to AshevilleRN's topic in Travel

    Well OK then. Post a link to the IRS documents that support your position. I used actual IRS language in my post. I'm in no way denying that many recruiters are turning many travelers into tax...

  14. First travel offer in LTC

    NedRN replied to strawberryluv's topic in Travel

    Original poster said LTC, not

  15. How many contracts(skills)?

    NedRN replied to NorCalKid's topic in Travel

    What this really depends on is the employing hospital manager believes it. Repeating the same hospital would do it, but if the majority of your income derives from just one place, you get no tax...

  16. First travel offer in LTC

    NedRN replied to strawberryluv's topic in Travel

    Any exposure to LTC at all? Most work is done by LPN/LVNs. State regulations require at least one supervising RN round the

  17. Living in an RV. Need tax help

    NedRN replied to AshevilleRN's topic in Travel

    Ethel, I know your intent is to be helpful, but your post is full of misinformation. If you commute from where you live, you are not eligible for special tax treatment and all your compensation is...

  18. Waiting for a travel assignment

    NedRN replied to ANNIENURSEANGEL's topic in Travel

    Even if demand was great, you need to sign up with more than one agency. Wider range of possible assignments, and the only way to find out if the compensation is competitive (admittedly not so...

  20. Licensing with/after CA

    NedRN replied to gnovime's topic in Travel

    You know, the main reason for the visit to California is to Live Scan fingerprints done in state. Background checks going through the CA DOJ is the main obstacle to fast licensure. If you are not...

  21. Licensing with/after CA

    NedRN replied to gnovime's topic in Travel

    That's the first time I've heard that IL requires you to pay for all lapsed years to renew. I wonder if that is new? Updating the board resource is a huge job for PanTravelers and I believe they only...

  22. Licensing with/after CA

    NedRN replied to gnovime's topic in Travel

    Well, it depends. I let most of my licenses lapse as it turns out to be cheaper to pay the late fee if I return more than two years later. It won't make a difference either way for verifying your...

  23. Licensing with/after CA

    NedRN replied to gnovime's topic in Travel

    Some agencies will pay for verification costs but remember it all comes out of the same pot. Such that you should ask for a bonus of the same amount when taking an assignment with an existing good...

  24. travel nursing in florida

    NedRN replied to empatheticRN's topic in Travel

    If you are relocating and abandoning your current home, you will not get the tax benefits of traveling. You are better off looking for a better paid staff job with benefits, relocation expenses, and...

  25. calling managers

    NedRN replied to angel4gramma's topic in Travel

    I'd never leave a voice message in that situation. If I did, I might not say I was a traveler. More likely to get a call if the manager thinks you are interested in a staff job. Normally I would...
