  1. Best travel company for strikes?

    NedRN replied to simpsm1's topic in Travel

    There is no such critter as best strike company, basically by definition. They are all bad. Still, if you want to read about them, go to the old scab dot org forums, now MobileRN, to read actual...

  2. Mandating a traveler to overtime work

    NedRN replied to acuriousLPN's topic in Travel

    The only way to force you to work is by making you work over with no relief. Refusing under those conditions would constitute patient abandonment. Otherwise, you are doing this to yourself if you...

  3. Am I Ready?

    NedRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Travel

    I'm surprised recent experience isn't required, but trust the recruiters. I can suggest a couple of things to reduce your professional anxiety (if you have it) and perhaps make you more marketable....

  4. First Travel Assignment in Texas?

    NedRN replied to PolishGirlRN's topic in Travel

    I would strongly suggest skipping the travel idea. You won't be eligible for special tax treatment (a huge benefit normally of traveling), and all your compensation including provided housing is...

  5. Last Minute Requirement Changes

    NedRN replied to RNAvatar's topic in Travel

    Well, nice to know that it wasn't the agency at fault. Yup, definitely unfair, but you do have the option not to take the assignment as you no longer meet criteria. One other thought here if you...

  6. Last Minute Requirement Changes

    NedRN replied to RNAvatar's topic in Travel

    If you don't meet minimum employment standards, the contract is void. Other than not working, not much will happen. So everyone, especially you, should have known PALS was required. Did you really...

  7. Best paying travel agency covering housing in 2016?

    NedRN replied to Sunshine94031's topic in Travel

    I'd say the ones that pay the best. In the travel nurse world, that is often assignment by assignment. If you want stable benefits, try the really large agencies like Cross Country or American...

  8. Insurance for Travel Nursing

    NedRN replied to KijanaKiume's topic in Travel

    I'm confused. Why pose questions on a travel nurse forum about staff

  9. Travel Nursing: Agency reviews and recommendations?

    NedRN replied to DiscGolfNurse's topic in Travel

    I don't recommend agencies except for a specific need (like psych). Agency brands are not very important compared to good fitting recruiters, but I do negatively recommend agencies with poor...

  10. Travel Nursing: Agency reviews and recommendations?

    NedRN replied to DiscGolfNurse's topic in Travel

    Amen to that, you definitely don't want to put up a profile on any job board! Most any agency will get some psych orders, but other than Supplemental and Worldwide and the very large agencies like...

    One quote or several? You implied several in your other post. Why

    NedRN replied to Sunshine94031's topic in Travel

    Specialty? One difference is that the agency insurance back then was probably extremely cheap (and basically worthless if you tried to use it). You may still be able to find small agencies not subject...

  13. travel in my hometown at my old hospital

    NedRN replied to catholicrn's topic in Travel

    Call your old manager. If she wants you, the policy won't matter. But honestly, you are probably better off applying as staff. You will not be eligible for special tax treatment as a traveler as you...

  14. Travel Nursing: Agency reviews and recommendations?

    NedRN replied to DiscGolfNurse's topic in Travel

    You can work full time as a travel psych nurse. Yes, as a smaller specialty than others, there will be fewer choices, but enough. Have you tried the agencies mentioned

    NedRN replied to Julia77's topic in Travel

    Obviously, your general topic is too big to discuss comprehensively in short posts. However, let me give you an idea of what to research further. In general, recommendations to incorporate are to do...

  16. Picking the right travel agency

    NedRN replied to kssotiro86's topic in Travel

    Can you try reading a few threads before posting a question that almost gets posted daily? The most current thread other than this one (similar title) also specifically asked about Aya. Thousands of...

  19. 3rd party contract

    NedRN replied to groundedandrooted's topic in Travel

    Let's use the more inclusive and correct label of vendor managers. Often they are not exactly third parties, but supply their own travelers too. American Mobile and Cross Country are two such vendor...

  20. New Nurse! We want to travel...

    NedRN replied to mycholula's topic in Travel

    Travel is a learning experience and no resource will restrict you from making mistakes. You can learn a lot from just reading many threads here and you should be able to read between the lines and...

  21. Nursing Corporation, Tax, Liability, International Questions

    NedRN replied to Julia77's topic in Travel

    Yes, your corporation or LLC does not have to be nursing specific. In filing incorporation documents, you can simply state purpose is unspecified. But even if you put something very narrow there, your...

  22. Best Travel Nursing Forums

    NedRN replied to Inlocd454's topic in Travel

    Best bet outside those two forums might be Facebook. While Facebook is not as good as threaded conversations on regular forums, lots of people hang out there, and that is where the latest generation...

  23. Nurse Entrepreneurs

    NedRN replied to Kimmie69's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    It is impressive to just about everyone to have the boss doing the service directly. No special reason to reveal it

  24. Talemed for travel nursing

    NedRN replied to tdking523's topic in Travel

    If you shop for a car at just one dealer, will you get a fair price or advice you can trust without verifying it? Travel is the same. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Travelers are contract...

  25. Travel and Floating

    NedRN replied to Work2Live's topic in Travel

    Advantages and disadvantages to every choice in life. Medsurg nurses do not get floated to ICU (or ED). If for anything other than an assistive role, sound nursing judgment would be to refuse. Yes,...
