  1. First Time Traveler

    NedRN replied to rnccf2007's topic in Travel

    I agree, tell us here. Just saying don't use is not helpful. Sometimes bad things just happen, like a bad hospital experience that may not be the fault of the agency, but still leaves a bad...

  2. Vehicle registration in Cali

    NedRN replied to petitefleur86's topic in Travel

    California is very aggressive about taxes. They have billboards with 800 numbers to report out of state vehicles parked in your neighborhood. That is mostly to get registration fees as many residents...

    Judge will find for you, this happens a lot. You made the right choice. Bring your contract to court (actually, you might avoid the court if you stop by the prosecuting attorney's office first with...

    It is the stopping in new locations that is the fun part. That is why we travel, right?

    Car charger is a must. A smartphone is more flexible than a standalone GPS. Stun gun? Ever used one in your normal life? No? If it makes you feel better, no harm. But you've seen too many movies....

  6. Creating my own agency

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

    You certainly do not need healthcare experience to talk to HR or staffing. Calls are simple and short. Unless the manager already wants you, or you have a difficult to fill specialty, the first...

    NedRN replied to rnccf2007's topic in Travel

    Great fun to drive, you made the right decision. Plenty of sights to see along the way, and easier exploration once there. It will also save you money over air fare and car rental, but not if you were...

    NedRN replied to rasim's topic in Travel

    Watch out, Allnurses doesn't like recruiter names posted. But do you happen to know if she formerly worked for Emerald? If so, I've met

    I don't know the hospital name, but a Milwaukee hospital always seems to have openings in multiple specialties. I've taken note of them because often the openings are the

    You are best off with the really large agencies such as Cross Country, American Mobile, and RN

  13. AMERICAN MOBILE

    NedRN replied to cincin1222's topic in Travel

    Most of the time, it is recruiters posing as travelers that are praising their own agency. Those are pretty easy to spot when their first three posts on Allnurses are nothing but agency praise, often...

  14. is my pay rate fair

    NedRN replied to rasim's topic in Travel

    The agency can certainly deliver stipends tax free, but they won't be present at your audit, nor can there be any defense if you are commuting from home. Back taxes, interest, and penalties over...

  15. Health Providers Choice

    NedRN replied to CrazyGoonRN's topic in Travel

    How did your conversation with their recruiter compare with other recruiters? The agency brand is close to irrelevant, the most important predictor of traveler success is their relationship with their...

    NedRN replied to cincin1222's topic in Travel

    I was being rhetorical. Is that not clear? You wrote it so it makes sense you get it. Diagram the sentence to understand its impact on others. It is not clear. I clarified it. There are an amazing...

    NedRN replied to rasim's topic in Travel

    No defense really. But asking to define common word is a bit much. In any case, rather than berate me, perhaps you could be helpful to the OP. Kettle,

    Because your post lumped in Aya with Cross Country's "umbrella of low balling companies". So I made it clear. Did you want to debate sentence

  23. is my pay rate fair

    NedRN replied to rasim's topic in Travel

    You do not qualify for tax free stipends of any kind any more than any other employee commuting from home. If the agency won't withhold taxes on those stipends, you are required to report it as...

    Get married and have babies is the wisdom from time beyond memory. Let men get educated and do the work, that is why God in her wisdom put them here. Otherwise they just get in the

    While a corporate culture (or just the immediate manager) can affect how recruiters behave, the best recruiters are professional enough to ignore lapses of professionalism by their peers and managers....
