  1. Anyone been to Montefiore in Bronx, Ny?

    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
  2. Day/Night Rotation...Why seeing more in Travel Jobs

    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...
  3. Truestaff

    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...
  4. New to travel nursing: looking for advice

    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...
  5. Who knew this was so LONELY????

    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...
  6. Truestaff

    I take it back bad bad
  7. 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...
  8. Are Hospitals Cancelling Contracts Becoming a Trend?

    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...
  9. Are Hospitals Cancelling Contracts Becoming a Trend?

    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...
  10. Travel nursing information

    The Gypsy Travel Nurse is a great website
  11. Who do you use to manage your housing?

    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...
  12. Internet and/or cable when traveling..

    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...
  13. What info do companies need to check references?

    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...
  14. Travel company you are happy with...

    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....
  15. Why do hospitals hire travellers?

    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...
  16. Nurses with Bipolar Disorder

    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...
  17. I would definitely relocate. Hey that is what I had to do where I am from and I have
  18. Nurses with Bipolar Disorder

    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...
  19. 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...
  20. 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
  21. 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...
  22. Why do nurses constantly say they don't hire ASN?

    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...
  23. 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,...
  24. I know. But, I guess that is the way the business goes? Just have to keep on
  25. 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
