Some agencies pay your rate, some pay a certain amount, and some wait until you work a number of shifts. It should say in your contract. If not I would ask your agency. Not sure what state you are working but, some hospitals don't pay the agency for ...

The warnings are real. I am in the process of being investigated for a complaint. I hope the investigation is in my favor. Strive to be perfect, do your CEUs, and have Insurance.

You better be dead. Is usually the policy I have experience with.

This was brought back from the dead. I could not back out of any contract for any reason even if it was unsafe. Lol angencies are not your friend.

Every contract I have was bad except one. Always have to learn something new and now the jobs are slim pickings when I am picky about who I work with.

Interesting. I wouldn't of thought of this. Something I have to think about.

I have been a Traveler for years and finally settling down in ONE spot. That being said I am interested in doing something different besides working in a hospital all the time. There are many agencies offering these School Nurse positions through th...

My mother in law is like this, it is called "denial".

This definitely seems fishy.

Let the alcohol dry.

I have RN Notes pocket manual. Mine is almost 10 years old but, I am sure they have updated ones. I really love it and when students or others see it they do too. You can always do a search for something similar. RNotes®: Nurse's Clinical Pocket Gui...

Phoenix and NYC. But, now I am permanently in NYC and hopefully when I am ready to buy a home I am going back to AZ.

Boston was the most expensive housing I had and I live in NYC now. lol

I remember this post. It is challenging to work in the city. The population is much different then what I have experienced anywhere. Sometimes I like to compare it with AZ.

I did Travel without scrubbing in the Cath Lab but, that was because it was the hospitals policy that you couldn't unless you were signed on with agency for a year.

Thanks for your advice. I will keep that in mind when I talk to the attorney again. The insurance company referred so they better know something! Goodness grief.

I think it was because, I was a Traveler and well they didn't "know" me because, the complaint I have is so darn fishy. They had every right to blame me for stealing. I had to get an attorney because, right now my license is on the line.

This is interesting as it is happening to me. I wonder the result since this was two years ago. I do have Insurance and I do have an attorney. That is the best advice I have read for this situation. Myself. I am scared everything I have worked for ...

lmao! It totally was. I went to a cheap community college, have my ASN, and worked in the top hospital in the country and I have worked several Magnet here in NYC, and have been asked to stay. I am also working in a hospital right now that only "hire...

Google some hospitals in the city and go directly to their website to apply because, not all advertise their job boards online. Most want you to have a NY License before even applying so I would check on how long the wait is on this first. Don't do H...

I am trying to get in there too. I just applied to two positions. I have been a nurse for 9 years and even still I can't get a permanent job. Trying to leave this Travel Nursing biz.

I would call the hospital itself and ask about the parking situation.

It has been slow it was like this last year around this time as well. It really depends on location.

I would check out JE Furnished Apts too. They are really well managed. They have locations in Quincy and Waltham. All you have to bring is your clothes. They have everything literally! Towels, linens, pots, pans, utensils, etc. They are very reasonab...

Taking public transit is best if you get the apartment in Manhattan. If you are not use to taking NYC transit I would take a day or two to get use to the way the system works. If you are housed further, depending on the location. You can take a shut...
