Hello Everyone, I am a new traveler looking for my first assignment. I am in need of some sound advice and education on the travel world. I'm having trouble understanding the entire tax home, stipend, taxable hourly rate talk. From my initial unders...

Would you recommend that I negotiate a higher hourly? I'm trying to make it worth it. The location is Texas so nice read about the low pay . Not thrilled about that

Oh ok I understand. How is the housing taxed out of that low hourly? The recruiter stated everything will be taxed so does that mean the hourly would be higher?

My apologies let me clarify. So option one for instance taxable hourly 18/hr, per diem meal 250/week, travel 600 round trip, hoisting 2000/ month. Option 2. Hourly 18/hr, meals 250/week, travel 600 no housing stipend , company will pay for housing....

I work in the NICU

Thank you for your reply. So am I wrong thinking that if they pay for my housing and I don't physically receive that money then my hourly and per diem would be mine and not used to pay for an additional housing back at home? I thought if you received...

So I had a VERY NEGATIVE initial contact with this college. Through just ONE conversation it's apparent that this school is a for-profit. After calling the school I was transferred to their Atlanta campus...The guy answered the phone "are you coming ...

We are accredited. We have our initial accreditation which is what matters when jobs say accredited. Last I heard only maybe. 1 or 2 aren't practicing as a RN.

Congrats to you!

Did you all get internships or just applied after you passed your boards? This worries me that I dont have a internship and 8 weeks left.

Start feeling comfortable/confident as a new nurse? I graduate in 10weeks and needless to say im a bit nervous like I won't know what to do...is this normal? I read my books faithfully but havent had too many first hand experiences (I guess like many...

Omg this advice is clvery helpful. My clinicals havent been great at all. Didnt do much primarily bc my program is new so getting good clinical sites is difficult. Ive had 2 nursing home qhich after giving meds theres not much more. My mebtal health ...

Thank you so much for replying! Im starting my last term so I feel this is where we will get the bulk of our hands on between med surg 3 and my capstone. So the nurse managers and coworkers are not expecting us to remember/know everything?? What a re...

What program are you at shells or do you prefer me pm you?

I agree shells. Judge on an individual basis. The program is going good for me, but may not be for someone else case in point. Havent heard anyone having problems getting jobs or getting unto a bsn program.

I cant speak on the class that just graduated bc not everyone took it. Im hearing only 3 has taken it from that class. Overall we need 80% pass rate from the first 3 graduating class. So we have class from feb and now may to factor in.

Sorry for the typos I cant type on this cellphone

Ok heres the thing and this is for anyone interested in bauder rn program. We loom for people that will make good nurses. We want people that read and study not to just pass a class but to actually understanding what the heck they are doing. If you a...
