  1. Help with paystub

    NedRN replied to abigail1003's topic in Travel

    It is easiest to call your agency for a breakdown of your pay stub. Every agency does it differently depending on what their accountant and lawyer wants to see. But looking at it I think your...

  2. Travel Nursing and Live in Mexico

    NedRN replied to GaCaneFan's topic in Travel

    No change in any rules, but depending on your specific plans, it may become a bigger hassle this year to cross the

  3. Urgent care/Primary care travel nurse?

    NedRN replied to Lemon Bars's topic in Travel

    I know a lot of mellow ER nurses. Calm is good in chaos. Your choice of course, but one last plug as I mentioned is that many EDs are streamed between acute and urgent. Doesn't hurt to check with...

  4. Nurse Abuse While on Assignment

    NedRN replied to K2K's topic in Travel

    I'm truly sorry for your experience. However, it was up to you, not your agency. Your license and health, not theirs. You have a licensure and personal duty to remove yourself from unsafe practice...

  5. Urgent care/Primary care travel nurse?

    NedRN replied to Lemon Bars's topic in Travel

    For virtually any setting where there are nurses, there are agency nurses. Travel contracts are usually a longer need like persistent staffing shortages, or short term like a pregnancy or personal...

  6. Certifications

    NedRN replied to RainMom's topic in Travel

    Just so you know, it is not the agency nor the agency recruiter deciding generally who gets an assignment. They are also competing with other agencies (absent an exclusive facility contract). There is...

  7. Certifications

    NedRN replied to RainMom's topic in Travel

    In your practice? Near zero. But on your CV? It sends a message that you are a professional, actively working to be the best you can be. Think about your own hiring preference between two candidates...

  8. Travel Nurse Offer Cancellation

    NedRN replied to ronodis's topic in Travel

    In short, yes. One reality is that the traveler is not the agency client, the hospital is. So even if contractually not allowed, such cancelations are tolerated to maintain the client relationship...

  9. NP seeking to travel as an RN

    NedRN replied to sarena33's topic in Travel

    She doesn't want to travel as an NP because the the credentialing process takes too long and by then she will have a real job. @serena: Sorry I missed your post. The issue is not really if the...

  11. travel nursing with clean endorsed compact license but expired origional license with consent agreement (terms met- was unencumbered before expiry)

    NedRN replied to Tiffany Reed's topic in Travel

    I think it very unlikely to show up on a background check, especially if there were no criminal charges. You can find out yourself by running an online background check on yourself. Get the lowest...

  12. Travel Nurse Rates

    NedRN replied to Annemariebb's topic in Travel

    Travel first for the lifestyle. New friends, sights, and culture. Constant learning new ways to practice and sharing when appropriate. Lack of politics. Apparently you are worried about some threshold...

  13. Travel Nurse Credentialing Process - How long does it take?

    NedRN replied to JohnnyNurse10's topic in Travel

    Small agencies and strike companies take the shortest amount of time (could be just hours). There are a number of ways to speed the process besides agency choice. Written references (I recommend at...

  14. Transition from staff RN to travel RN

    NedRN replied to Cindycin48's topic in Travel

    Well, you didn't express any concern as to your clinical skills and adaptability to a new practice environment yet that is the most common failure point of new travelers. Travelers are expected to hit...

  15. using false address for Travel gigs

    NedRN replied to TrustTheProcess's topic in Travel

    If you get audited for any reason, your address of convenience will not hold up. Housing stipends and per diems are supplied by agencies (no questions asked) if you lie on their housing report about...

  16. I want to travel internationally

    NedRN replied to MurseDMV's topic in Travel

    Helen Ziegler is the usual go to for Middle East jobs but there are other agencies (Google) or you can go direct to hospitals. Volunteer charitable work is plentiful in Latin America. Continental...

  17. New Travel Agency

    NedRN replied to Baleb091's topic in General Nursing

    Just to mention, my esteemed guru stipend is late this month. Crappy skills checklists are all over the internet and easy to find on dozens of agency websites. I could go on for a bit to expound...

  18. Cath lab vs IR travel

    NedRN replied to ninja-nurse's topic in Travel

    In the past, demand for cath lab has been so high that they will take ICU travelers. So you might be able to shortcut the staff job. Not trying to talk you out of that, it is the best way to go....

  19. The 10 Highest-Paying Travel Nurse Assignments in 2023

    NedRN replied to TeachRN's topic in Travel

    For a couple years after the pandemic hit, I was regularly received email solicitations for an astounding $8,000 plus a week for CVOR. They dropped recently but are still around $5,000 a week....

  20. The Age Old Question: When Should I Start Traveling

    NedRN replied to JuicyJ95's topic in Travel

    I think any change of units even in the same hospital can result in culture shock. I see a lot of cultural differences between CVICUs in different hospitals, ranging from intense focus (nurses still...

  21. The Age Old Question: When Should I Start Traveling

    NedRN replied to JuicyJ95's topic in Travel

    I'd like to point out that there are super nurses, average nurses, and those that will only ever be good enough to retain their staff jobs. A combination of you apparently belonging in the first...

  22. The Age Old Question: When Should I Start Traveling

    NedRN replied to JuicyJ95's topic in Travel

    More credentials are always good. Ultimately you are competing with other travelers for the best assignments. Best is a balance of location, compensation, and sometimes prestige. Your ability to...

  23. Question about local agency nursing

    NedRN replied to freckles23's topic in Travel

    If you work in the same general area more than one year, your tax home automatically switches to that area. Also, if you take an open ended job like a local agency, same thing. That is not a contract...

  24. CCRN being told tele only nurses are stronger candidates...

    NedRN replied to Avenger1's topic in Travel

    Easier to switch agencies. You can give this agency a try by talking to his manager and switching recruiters by saying not a good fit. That might well work but you would have some negative currents...

  25. NYU Cobble Hill

    NedRN replied to Rosetintmyworld's topic in Travel

    If you have never worked in NYC, probably not friendly for a new traveler. Insane patient loads in the
