I guess I was the only one who hated it. I was a float and went everywhere. But, I have great references from there so that is a plus.

I just did one. I died. Won't do it again. But, their regular staff was doing it too. All of their New Grads are doing it. Big hospital. Magnet Hospital. One of the Top Hospitals. So I they are doing it you know it will be a trend. I have seen a few...

They don't offer what other agencies offer you, like mileage to the assignment. I have not ever received a so called bonus. Must be for only certain people and maybe they should start calling themselves "Liestaff". They have messed up on me 2 out of...

I like NYC. You will never be bored because there is always something to do on your days off. I don't work the ER but I would ask about ratio, at one hospital there wasn't one. The nurse was from CA and she was very concerned. NY at least the hospit...

I hear ya. Social Networking, texting, and picking up the phone now and then is your best bet. The last place I worked I didn't fit in so I wasn't invited to anything. Plus being away from home and not getting to spend time with the people you know i...

I take it back bad bad bad.

I have noticed something. Hospitals are canceling contracts for non-clinical reasons, just anything. A nurse was acting weird, she gave so-called so and so an attitude, I heard a rumor so it must be true, huh? lol. Is this a new trend? What as a Trav...

True words. When I bump into Travelers in hospitals we tend to "talk" about this. Here I don't know who is watching so I don't mention names. Anyhow, thank you for your insight as always. It isn't always this way I love Travel Nursing and I have met...

I see that could be a definite reason. But of course that isn't what I am talking about here. If someone has no clue what they are doing clinically the WTH are they soon there beats me? I hear you on that one. Hopefully, they a Manager is reading th...

The Gypsy Travel Nurse is a great website too.

I have had luck doing it on my own for two years via Craigslist. I was able to sublet once in NYC which is probably impossible! The last two time the agency did it for me. Once via Travel Haven, which was AWESOME! Now I am having a hard time where Tr...

I have had it included for the past two years. This time I had to set it up myself. I know BestBuy has some kind of HotSpot Internet services you can buy too as they tried selling it to me last year but I just didn't have the time to look into it thi...

I agree with Ned I have had a couple get frustrated that they couldn't reach via phone, that there policy stated they HAD to speak with someone. I usually have letters written before I leave or my agency has them fill evaluations out on their own te...

I think that there are just too many out there to name. One I may have had a hard time with someone else might love or vice versa. Plus, what you are looking for in an assignment I might not want. There is a great website I stumbled across when Goog...

I actually have filled spots for people on Medical Leave like for surgeries or having babies. It was such a great place to work I hated to go, that being said they had no openings. Lol I have worked for places that they were getting busy, but at the ...

Well, I asked for just days by giving my agency and the Managers a letter. It worked for this contract. I guess they like me because . I didn't think that would work. Next time when I take a travel assignment I will just see if I can do days versu...

I would definitely relocate. Hey that is what I had to do where I am from and I have experience.

After reading these it gives me a clue as to why I go through what I go through sometimes. I was diagnosed midcareer. Unfortunately, choosing what shift I am going to work in this economy is so difficult. I can't even find a permanent job to save th...

OK this is funny because every Magnet hospital I go to someone who doesn't work in HR or is NOT a hiring Manager just has to say they don't hire Associate Degree nurses. I have been asked to be hired at some other Magnet hospitals. Reasons like this,...

I get asked about my salary, which I don't like discussing. Because we all know not every Agency offers the same thing and we are not all in it for the same things.

This is odd to me as a Traveler who has worked in many hospitals across the country. I can't even land a permanent job because the hospital says they have no openings, but they hire two to three New Grads instead. Just thought it was getting better f...

And, I am still hearing, "Well at my hospital they are so strick..." When I bust out with the "You aren't in HR or a Hiring Manager how do you know?" They still stick with the same answer. It is the same debate as they don't hire New Grads, when the...

Way too confused here. I applied for an EP lab position. I tried applying online but no one called me back of course. I mentioned it so the secretary on the floor I work on dropped it off there, because she knows someone. About an hour later the Man...

I know. But, I guess that is the way the business goes? Just have to keep on trucking.

I asked a hiring manager. I was just used as an interview body to say that a nurse was interviewed. It was a mean strategy but oh well. I couldn't delete my post.
