  1. On Contract when a Hospital Strikes

    NedRN replied to Bluebolt's topic in Travel

    Sounds normal to me. Strikes are very disruptive and expensive for all parties even when not used as a last

  2. Who knew this was so LONELY????

    NedRN replied to mustang_convt's topic in Travel

    My exercise routine on playground equipment includes pull ups, push ups, two kinds of sit ups, rows (hanging parallel to ground on a jungle gym or alternative), and dips on parallel bars, jungle gym,...

  3. Who knew this was so LONELY????

    NedRN replied to mustang_convt's topic in Travel

    A surprising number of hospitals have a reasonable employee gym free for employees and travelers. There are a number of national chains with a good chance of branches at perhaps half of your likely...

  4. Best paying travel agency covering housing in 2016?

    NedRN replied to Sunshine94031's topic in Travel

    Nope, I believe you. But in most towns, crime happens mostly in low income areas. Such as so called black on black crimes, but is related more to poverty than a particular ethnic class. Not as likely...

  5. Best paying travel agency covering housing in 2016?

    NedRN replied to Sunshine94031's topic in Travel

    It is good to hear you are confident. That is not how your first post came off. I'm not sure I'm overly confident myself. But having lived in some of the most crime ridden areas in the country, and...

  6. Best paying travel agency covering housing in 2016?

    NedRN replied to Sunshine94031's topic in Travel

    That is just sad. I know I'm a guy with a different perspective on safety, but there is nothing about the prevalence of drug use (in every state by the way) that affects your safety in any meaningful...

  7. Any reviews on Jackson Nurse Professionals?

    NedRN replied to Potterja's topic in Travel

    Business? Ever dated? How did you tell the good ones apart from the BS ones? Same deal with recruiters. But you will have to flirt with more than one to gain

  8. How to change Nurse Recruiter?

    NedRN replied to SonorityGenius's topic in Travel

    Hate to say it, but you will have to pick up the phone! Call AM and ask to speak to a recruiter

  9. Travel Nursing - Expectations!

    NedRN replied to Mellie9645's topic in Travel

    NICU no floating usually, but always confirm during interview - smaller hospitals may have you float to mother/baby. Health insurance yes, although smaller agencies are not subject to the ACA. You are...

  10. Insurance for self vs my LLC???? HELP!

    NedRN replied to pilgrim192's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Unfortunately, that is not true. No corporate structure will protect you if there is malpractice. That is what insurance is for. Corporate limited liability does protect your personal assets from...

  11. contract cancellation, renegotiation

    NedRN replied to nrcnurse's topic in Travel

    Oz? Like the fairy kingdom or Australia? Are you dealing with regular travel nurse companies? They don't usually get management postings other than house supervisors. The only company I know of that...

  12. Yea, another cancelled contract, calling Ted!

    NedRN replied to DRZmaui's topic in Travel

    Sorry you got burned. Those expenses are tax deductible if you are still itemizing and the agency won't reimburse you. You may have a wider choice of agencies than you think. Besides the really big...

  13. Yea, another cancelled contract, calling Ted!

    NedRN replied to DRZmaui's topic in Travel

    Did they tell you at any time that you would be reimbursed for your lunch costs? Kind of

  14. Yea, another cancelled contract, calling Ted!

    NedRN replied to DRZmaui's topic in Travel

    What you pasted was a copy of your assignment letter - nothing to see there. The language of interest is in your employee handbook. Look for a section on termination, and another on what the agency...

  15. Yea, another cancelled contract, calling Ted!

    NedRN replied to DRZmaui's topic in Travel

    Do you have an actual signed contract in hand? What does it

  16. Licensing in NC, tax home in WI?

    NedRN replied to aazobeck's topic in Travel

    Sure, but that will only happen with WI residency. What I said is the general principle, when you leave state residency, the license reverts to single state. If you reside in a compact state and...

  17. Licensing in NC, tax home in WI?

    NedRN replied to aazobeck's topic in Travel

    You won't lose your NC license, it simply reverts from multi-state to single state. If you are going to be itinerant (without a tax home), you should inform your agency of your new tax status....

  18. Need travel nursing help bout american mobile

    NedRN replied to cengram's topic in Travel

    It should be pointed out that Los Angeles and the greater Los Angeles area is really large. If someone suggests housing, it could be several hours away from your assignment hospital. I would suggest...

  19. Has anyone ever traveled with NovaPro!?

    NedRN replied to jenjacobi1's topic in Travel

    Tips about home health are probably best found here (should be some travelers there): https://allnurses.com/home-health-nursing/ Going there to get the link I found this recent thread you may want to...

  20. Cali license verification

    NedRN replied to ERpinup's topic in Travel

    The law requires a three month decision time frame in California when application is complete. And that was the average time frame a year ago. Today, some have their temp in hand (well... online) in...

  21. 1st time Travel Nursing/Housing???

    NedRN replied to readyforsuccess99's topic in Travel

    Yes, the time travel part would be fascinating, but the working conditions and pay (at least if you go back) are not so

  22. 1st time Travel Nursing/Housing???

    NedRN replied to readyforsuccess99's topic in Travel

    First thought is make it easy and enjoyable your first assignment and let the agency provide housing. They will take care of all the small details (perhaps excepting cable and internet) and you just...

  23. contract cancellation, renegotiation

    NedRN replied to nrcnurse's topic in Travel

    Yup, I don't think I would take another assignment at that hospital or Agency

  24. contract cancellation, renegotiation

    NedRN replied to nrcnurse's topic in Travel

    I'm not sure what leverage you have. One assignment is over, and you have verbally agreed to do the second and have already incurred expenses on the second. If you bail on the second and go back to...

  25. Guam, anyone?

    NedRN replied to MarcyRN's topic in Travel

    I second the bicycle idea. Depending though on your preferences, buying one there may less than the airline fees. It is only 13 weeks! Have fun and don't worry. Things usually work out for things...
