  1. Travel nursing when your specialty is psychiatry?

    NedRN replied to MiaLyse's topic in Travel

    Have you tried calling some agencies? They are the ones providing travel assignments and will be happy to tell you about their opportunities and health

  2. Staffing Agency Contract Help

    NedRN replied to Dpalmer23's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Have you ever used Google? In the search box, put your state and S corp, how to start. Ignore all the sites who want to charge you, they are all ripoffs. It is exactly the same amount of work to file...

  3. New here, considering travel, help!

    NedRN replied to ebtbmom's topic in Travel

    Yes! There is enough demand for OR nurses that you will be able to find assignments that fit your experience. Start talking to

  4. HELP! Break in contract

    NedRN replied to BASE1966's topic in Travel

    It does sound clear. I don't know how you can do better next time. Hopefully this never happens again. Sorry that it happened on your first

  5. Anyone worked as a nurse without a home?

    NedRN replied to Cats&Tea&Climbing's topic in Travel

    I'm not an RV owner but many truck stops as well as RV parks offer water and sewer

  6. How much should I ask for?

    NedRN replied to theSunCityRN's topic in Travel

    You need to discuss compensation with more agencies. You can do better as a traveler than HCA pay unless you are staying local. Your question is analogous to saying you went to a Ford dealer and the...

  7. Preparing for travel in CA

    NedRN replied to Dassit82's topic in Travel

    Their workplace, their rules. Might even be union rules. Consider yourself to be fortunate to be working stacked

  8. Flexcare or Valley for travel nursing in California?

    NedRN replied to missyumee's topic in Travel

    Valley very good and ethical. Flexcare has been getting a lot of good press lately, but had a poor reputation historically, much of it perhaps coming from its per diem business. Not that it matters...

  9. HELP! Break in contract

    NedRN replied to BASE1966's topic in Travel

    Contracts are a way to get all parties on the same page. So they are useful even though you don't really want to litigate one. Did your assignment letter designate the shift? If so, there is a clear...

  10. Agencies giving more than GSA allowable amount

    NedRN replied to Wolf at the Door's topic in Travel

    Wow, you have a tax lawyer? Offshore accounts and trust funds? The stipend amounts are not reported to the IRS. Not sure why you believe you will have to pay extra taxes. It will only be if you report...

  11. Agencies giving more than GSA allowable amount

    NedRN replied to Wolf at the Door's topic in Travel

    I'd be OK with any amount an agency offered over the GSA guidelines. The liability here is primarily on the agency, not the worker. It is conceivable that the IRS could bill you for taxes on the...

  12. 2015 allnurses Salary Survey Results

    NedRN replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe the information requested will be accurate. 1,158 survey responders worked in the ED. Divide that into 55 US BON jurisdictions (plus another half dozen Canadian ones) or around 20 per...

  13. 2015 allnurses Salary Survey Results

    NedRN replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Would it be possible to add a breakdown of pay by specialty? Or are the results ambiguous as many hospitals pay similarly for different specialties or pay only slightly more? Relevant information can...

  14. Anyone worked as a nurse without a home?

    NedRN replied to Cats&Tea&Climbing's topic in Travel

    Fast food, and grocery store deli. That does cost more, but far less than a hotel. Still ahead. I do prefer to prepare my own food, but there are many people even with stoves who don't do

  15. Canadian RN moving to california

    NedRN replied to stephaniern12's topic in Travel

    Ah yes. The three months legal requirement for BON decision does refer to the permanent license, not the temp. Do you know a specific issue why your perm took four

  16. Canadian RN moving to california

    NedRN replied to stephaniern12's topic in Travel

    While it can take that long for US trained nurses (some US state curriculums and specific schools such as Excelsior will cause trouble in California), some who are Livescanned in California receive...

  17. Preparing for travel in CA

    NedRN replied to Dassit82's topic in Travel

    There is a tax technicality with that mode of travel. I'm not well versed on this but I've seen TravelTax's comments a number of times. You have to have receipts for housing. That is where truck...

  18. Preparing for travel in CA

    NedRN replied to Dassit82's topic in Travel

    Hey Argo. My comments were general and not critical of your lifestyle. If I had a family, I would prioritize them too. The other poster just expressed interest in working near home as do many never...

  19. Preparing for travel in CA

    NedRN replied to Dassit82's topic in Travel

    Many CVORs are 12s but all shifts are out there. Stacked shifts are also possible, and you can certainly insist only on such assignments (doing general will expand your stacked shift chances...

  20. Staffing Agency Contract Help

    NedRN replied to Dpalmer23's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Just a professional hint, don't use phrases that some might take offense at. That includes "blessed". Keep your religious, ethnic, sexual and political thoughts completely opaque. Business is hard...

  21. Anyone worked as a nurse without a home?

    NedRN replied to Cats&Tea&Climbing's topic in Travel

    Start with the thread Rose_Queen linked. You can do a search on AN for more such threads. There are lots of even better threads on RV forums such as Escapees, iRV2, and RV dot net. Look for subforums...

  22. Staffing Agency Contract Help

    NedRN replied to Dpalmer23's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Contacts? Perhaps you mean contracts. Every single hospital will tell you that they have enough vendors to meet their needs. Other than being an already large established agency with experienced sales...

  23. Labor and delivery travel assignments?!

    NedRN replied to Klr0808's topic in Travel

    Agencies have nothing to do with it really. If you can gain sufficient experience in a different (usually closely related) specialty on your work history that a hospital will agree, you are in! The...

  24. Preparing for travel in CA

    NedRN replied to Dassit82's topic in Travel

    Sure, start now, but don't let them push you around. Shop around other agencies too. What you really want is a great recruiter who puts you in a good fit for your first assignment. You want a success...

    NedRN replied to empatheticRN's topic in Travel

    Sometimes you can find/negotiate good deals on AirBnB or VBRO and other such sites, but Craigslist and then property managers as my Plan B is where I start. Posting your own housing wanted ad on...
