  1. Talemed for travel nursing

    NedRN replied to tdking523's topic in Travel

    You never have to commit to one agency. No monogamy required in travel nursing. Big benefits if you play the

  2. Travel Nursing in Texas in the ICU

    NedRN replied to CardiacDork's topic in Travel

    Yuck! You guys made me Google weight demographics and I saw way too many gross pictures and never got a good answer. An answer site said a million Americans weigh over 500 pounds without a citation. I...

  3. Travel and Floating

    NedRN replied to Work2Live's topic in Travel

    It is all about probability. Your recruiter may know about floating history on a particular hospital or floor. Hammer it during the manager interview. Don't work at hospitals such as Kaiser that are...

  4. Travel Nursing: Agency reviews and recommendations?

    NedRN replied to DiscGolfNurse's topic in Travel

    Why the interest in Aya? Ad, call, or other marketing? Better to find your own agency rather than have them find you. Agencies with lots of marketing often pay less. Call lots of agencies (there are...

  5. Contracts and Cancellations

    NedRN replied to RNAvatar's topic in Travel

    Didn't get paid for worked hours? Labor board or a

  6. States that are friendly to travelers who want a lunch break

    NedRN replied to DieselBurps's topic in Travel

    Well, have you been enabling your employer? Have you been documenting missed breaks? Have to talked to the labor board or a

  7. Travel vs Full Time in NYC/Bronx/Queens

    NedRN replied to RoXy16's topic in Travel

    What you are recommending still is illegal. You cannot simply work some distance from home, rent a hotel room for a couple of nights and collect 7 days of lodging and per diem tax free. There is no...

  8. Travel vs Full Time in NYC/Bronx/Queens

    NedRN replied to RoXy16's topic in Travel

    The agency is not going to appear at your audit, only you. There is no IRS fifty mile rule. You are recommending cheating the

  9. Travel vs Full Time in NYC/Bronx/Queens

    NedRN replied to RoXy16's topic in Travel

    51 miles to Prnceton? That is not a magic number. If you are commuting from home, you have to pay taxes on all your

  10. Travel vs Full Time in NYC/Bronx/Queens

    NedRN replied to RoXy16's topic in Travel

    Give them some more time to respond. One other reason to do staff versus travel. Start interviewing hospitals now. You will get a free trip to visit, and a healthy relocation stipend or sign-on bonus....

  11. Travel vs Full Time in NYC/Bronx/Queens

    NedRN replied to RoXy16's topic in Travel

    The working conditions should (should) be a step up from Florida as should the pay. Family of course is the primary motivator here, but you may or may not miss Florida's climate. By the way, traffic...

  12. Travel vs Full Time in NYC/Bronx/Queens

    NedRN replied to RoXy16's topic in Travel

    Without any first hand knowledge, I would expect pay in Philadelphia to be good based on what I know about union traditions in the area. The reality may be different in healthcare of course, and there...

  13. When You No Longer Need a License...

    NedRN replied to westieluv's topic in Travel

    So "opted not to renew" is accurate! The corollary is that you agreed not to work in that state during the non-renewed period. If you did work without a license during that period, that certainly...

  14. When You No Longer Need a License...

    NedRN replied to westieluv's topic in Travel

    There are a few states that have an inactive status that is beneficial if you ever renew an otherwise lapsed license. But mostly you just let them lapse without issue. As a traveler, I do that all the...

  15. Travel vs Full Time in NYC/Bronx/Queens

    NedRN replied to RoXy16's topic in Travel

    Mostly NYC travel is about the experience, not the money. I get that you probably will get free lodging from your family, but I think the benefits from a staff job will more than make some for that...

  16. Contracts and Cancellations

    NedRN replied to RNAvatar's topic in Travel

    Good attitude! Perhaps I should have expanded above sentence to: if you manage everything really well, you are just out missed time between

  17. Contracts and Cancellations

    NedRN replied to RNAvatar's topic in Travel

    The first thing to know is the industry "fall off" rate is 10%. The flip side of this is 90% of contracts complete. If you have better than average people skills and are competent, your rate should be...

  18. keeping a "tax home" for compact license?

    NedRN replied to pedsneuroRN's topic in Travel

    Having a tax home is worth as much as $20,000 a year net for most travelers. The basic equation says that if maintaining your tax home are higher than that, then you are better off being itinerant....

  19. Is Nor Cal nursing all it's cracked up to be?

    NedRN replied to adventure_rn's topic in California Nursing

    It is a bit late, but congrats on passing the boards and getting a job! I had thought you were still in school. Starting pay and 5 year pay is important if you are looking for a permanent job and...

  20. Does Travel Nursing under a PRN Contract exist?

    NedRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Travel

    Not sure I understand. Did you want to wake up in the morning and decide if you want to work that particular day? Or do you just want to have certain days off, like no weekends? The latter is possible...

  21. Is Nor Cal nursing all it's cracked up to be?

    NedRN replied to adventure_rn's topic in California Nursing

    As you know, I put some thought into workplace dynamics from an economic focus. Why so much pay is always an interesting question, but one that requires expert answers. I'm not really qualified....

  22. Questions for the Experienced from a Beginner Traveler

    NedRN replied to emily_BSN's topic in Travel

    From my perspective your question makes little sense, why on earth would you want to look for a permanent job?!! More seriously, travel experience has the potential to be a mixed bag when looking for...

  23. Is Nor Cal nursing all it's cracked up to be?

    NedRN replied to adventure_rn's topic in California Nursing

    In the travel nurse forums, Las Vegas has perhaps the worst reputation of any city in the country - for crappy working conditions, not having fun. The cost of living there is not so high, so there is...

  24. Questions for the Experienced from a Beginner Traveler

    NedRN replied to emily_BSN's topic in Travel

    Stating you don't technically live in a place means it cannot be your tax home. That means huge trouble if you get audited for any reason as you will be assessed for back taxes, penalties, and...

  25. Travel Nursing: Agency reviews and recommendations?

    NedRN replied to DiscGolfNurse's topic in Travel

    Maxona, most agencies have missed hour penalties. Some may offer some number of hours you can miss before penalties (or makeup hours when possible), but they all have them. The reason is that the way...
