Not yet. But, I did read somewhere that work place bullying will be something that you will be able to sue for in the future. Or, something they are "looking" into because, it really isn't harassment but, it can surely lead into that direction. I cer...

I have several stories. For one I am a Traveler. I get bullied all the time. It is sad that I have become accustom to it.

Would you like some pizza? I am in a sharing and caring mood.

For which job? I am a Traveler? lol this is like a every day thing for me.

I would just check out Indeed, Career Builder, and Monster. You will find them or they will find you based on your experience. There are too many to name and too many of us had different experiences and opinions on which ones are the best.

I guess I must of been told something different? Maybe they changed their policy to be smoother. As then NEED nurses there. I worked there in the beginning of the year. There was a group of 15 and there was only half of the group left after the tests...

I would call your doctor and have someone help you with this issue. Instead of having to fly to CA to do it.

Nah, don't do that. I worked somewhere unsafe and now I have some kind of documentation error with narcotics that is being complained about on on my license. They won't even give my agency details. The board and an attorney says it could take years b...

They will send you home if their nurses don't like the way you smell too. Pun Intended lol! So why not? I think there tests are just like any other tests us Travelers take to get a job. But, no their Education staff does not give second chances.

Titers? Drug test? My titers were okay for them I think but it isn't uncommon for agencies to send you for a drug test along with blood work because they hospital does not approve your documentation for titers.

I hope what you are going through is "okay" now. I am a Traveler/Agency nurse for the past 6 years. I usually don't make clinical mistakes. First time I had a bad orientation with no computer orientation. So I winged it. Complained to my agency abou...

Hi! I worked in AZ last year and had 6 patients on nights on a Tele floor. I don't think they have ratios in AZ but, correct me if I am wrong. When I worked Med/Surg in 07/08 I had up to 12 patients just because, someone called out and they had no re...

Me too! I have worked at several facilities that people say they only hire BSN. I think it totally depends on your experience and their need. Some places I have been asked to stay on as permanent. I started a debate about this somewhere... about gett...

I did Per Diem for three years (full-time) for the same company and was accepted into a Travel contract through another company last year. It was difficult because I hadn't done travel or worked in a actual hospital for awhile. Some agencies when the...

I was submitted to one the other day. Kind of excited but the process is LONG. I am not getting any calls back from any of the hospitals in the East that I have been submitted to and I have worked at small hospitals before. Lived in Show Low and Carl...

Unfortunately some agencies think letters or reviews are worth pennies now. I have one for each assignment they don't care they want a person. They even had the nerve to ask for a nurse's work number while getting a reference from the nurse. FYI thes...

Yuck, really? Parties I am trying to support a family this job isn't a joke to me. I can't even get a permanent position amywhere yet I can do anything and my experience is vast. I didn't come into this field for the money or to have a great time liv...

I also just discovered that many need a voice to talk to for references. Sometimes I am lucky enough to get cell phone numbers of nurses before I leave. I always have a review and ask for a letter. They usually give up if they can't get ahold of anyo...

NY has no ratios so you could end up with more. Patients wait days for a bed too.

Interesting. I did not ever know!

Most of the agencies that staff the East Coast are not in the East Coast. Well, sometimes. But, I would try Indeed.com for the specific location you are looking for. Many travel agencies post in there.

I would definitely keep trying. It is tough when you are first starting or even starting afresh.

Me too. Except, our son is too young for school, but I am interested in Home School in case I can't find a permanent job in a year or two. As he is suppose to attend Kindergarten then. =)

I am trying them this assignment myself. I do both hospital and LTACHs so we will see. It is a plus that they are cross country. I am in MA and was doing a general search about their company.

I was a float, ER, Med/Surg, Tele, and ICU. Most occasions I didn't have the same floor or Assignment; so it was tough. I usually do float assignments for the most part. Thankfully, I have done agency work, and some Per Diem in LTACHs or I don't know...
