  1. Homehealth Case Mgt

    NedRN replied to snmzelle's topic in Travel

    Small agencies have very few job orders for home health. It is a small (but growing)

    NedRN replied to snmzelle's topic in Travel

    You are best off trying the really large agencies. Cross Country, American Mobile, RN Network,

  3. Housing tipend etc

    NedRN replied to krisrn2's topic in Travel

    Try PanTravelers for many articles about traveling. If you have a tax home, and take the housing stipend rather than provided housing, it is tax free and you can keep any amount left over without it...

  4. Tax home & Renting out my house

    NedRN replied to Nurse Kyles's topic in Travel

    House share on AirBnB is legit. So would be taking on a full time housemate. If AirBnB, you will have to have a local manager to watch the place, perhaps giving them keys so you don't get a scammer,...

  5. Living in a RV instead of apartment while travel nursing?

    NedRN replied to northmississippi's topic in Travel

    Just to add to the excellent last two posts, towing insurance with Good Sam is a must. There are some truly great online forums (2 anyway - there is a list on PanTravelers useful links page) with a...

  6. Using the agency for travel vs direct application

    NedRN replied to jive turkey's topic in Travel

    The facility is definitely saving money while generally paying you more tan an agency. One downside is that they will deduct taxes as ordinary income on provided housing or stipend. Not a downside if...

  7. What do you do with your house while you travel?

    NedRN replied to OncRN4eva's topic in Travel

    Just to be clear, I was not recommending a property manager, I only mentioned it as one option among several. Paying someone to look after your home while you are away without a tenant will not change...

  8. Creating my own agency

    NedRN replied to AM9160's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Read the thread again for directions to my blog. Info on how to write a contract there. Contracts are simple agreements. If you plan on being litigious, you can write a forty page contract to cover...

  9. Fair Travel Pay in San Jose and San Francisco

    NedRN replied to ckim's topic in Travel

    Recruiters always say that. But they won't be present if you get audited. If you actually live at the address 200 miles away, and incur costs to maintain it like rent, then you are fine. However, you...

  10. Fair Travel Pay in San Jose and San Francisco

    NedRN replied to ckim's topic in Travel

    Fair pay is never dated. But there is only one way to find out and that has also not changed. You have to shop around. Also, without a tax home, all of your compensation will, or should be, taxable....

  11. travel nursing without a home?

    NedRN replied to wildnursebrendan's topic in Travel

    Housing stipend should remain the same as would meals and incidentals and mileage. The difference is as an itinerant, all that compensation will be taxed. Insist on it, some agencies will be...

  12. Travel Nurse Offer. Yea or Nea? Anyone with experience please help!

    NedRN replied to Nurse4lifeNC's topic in Travel

  13. Travel Nurse Housing in Riverside County

    NedRN replied to telenurse2009's topic in Travel

    It takes a lot to move me out of my 6 mile bicycle commute comfort zone. But I have done it for exceptionally nice housing. House on a lake, San Francisco which was a good half hour to Stanford back...

  14. How to compare pay without signing up

    NedRN replied to blueskies1's topic in Travel

    I have no problem recommending or referring travelers to AMN, particularly new travelers, and those in smaller specialties. Large agencies have their place, and with more travelers than any other...

  15. Living in a RV instead of apartment while travel nursing?

    NedRN replied to northmississippi's topic in Travel

    Thin walls don't stop nearby road noise, or neighbor noise. Most RVs are three season only and cannot be used in freezing conditions. Fuel to keep fridge working between parks or if boondocking to...

  16. How to compare pay without signing up

    NedRN replied to blueskies1's topic in Travel

    Decent health nsurance is going to cost you $400 to $800 a month. It is all the same pot of money from a fixed hourly bill rate so the details on who pays is completely irrelevant. Same applies as...

    I'd suggest working for larger agencies such as American Mobile, Cross Country, and RN Network. The have enough jobs to keep you working steady. Call them and all your questions will be

  18. Questioning travel nursing?

    NedRN replied to Cecilgko7's topic in Travel

    So go to one of them! Be cool to 25 miles from Baltimore and 25 miles from DC. I believe Prince George's hospital fits that criteria. Or wait and keep in touch with more agencies. Baltimore jobs come...

  19. What do you do with your house while you travel?

    NedRN replied to OncRN4eva's topic in Travel

    You can have family, friends, or a property manager check on it. Even better in my opinion is to buy a house suitable for a house share in a desirable location like a gentrifying or university...

    NedRN replied to TREC96's topic in Travel

    No, it lowers my income and self respect. The latter of course is less

  21. Submitted with one BUT accept with another

    NedRN replied to TREC96's topic in Travel

    Sure! I wouldn't care what Aureus pays, no way I'd work for the agency well known to be the worst in the country, at least for travel nurses. They treat allied

  22. Submitted with one BUT accept with another

    NedRN replied to TREC96's topic in Travel

    By the way, you can certainly discuss switching agencies with Valley and see what they say about it. A thousand bucks is real money. They may decline to to spend any of their good will with the...

  23. Submitted with one BUT accept with another

    NedRN replied to TREC96's topic in Travel

    Valley is a very good agency. In a lot of organizations, there is a clear setting of culture from the top. A current negative example in the news almost daily is Uber. Valleys CEO (self titled "Chief)...

    NedRN replied to TREC96's topic in Travel

    Fastaff is a funny company. They tend not to be responsive until you are already working or have worked for them. They are notorious for not returning calls. They are a rapid response company and...
