Travel! when i was working more than 50miles from my house i got the full bonus. now that im looking closer to home there is no bonus they just up the base pay a little.

None of the agencies I talk to offer a taxed housing stipend for local contracts!

Hello All!!! I have been an L&D nurse for 5 years and still currently work in L&D. I am also in school for FNP. I have about 1.5 years left before I am done. Since the beginning of this year I have been quite interested in cardiology and would love to become a cardiac NP upon graduating. However, all of my experience is in L&D. I am weary of switching to another unit while being in school because it would be alot on me to learn a whole new area and unit while trying to learn concpets in school AND learning in clinical, not to mention day-to-day life. Essentially, I am comfortable with L&D and can easily work without feeling like I have to learn new concepts everyday. Though I know it would be more advantageous to get experience NOW in cardiac nursing, would it completely cancel me out from becoMing a cadiac NP with no prior cardiac experience? I do plan on getting my clinicls in cardiology. Thanks for any and all advice. If there are any Cardiac NP's out there that had no prior experience in cardiology please comment as well!!

I am a current travel nurse in GA. I have a home in GA that I pay taxes on. I used this address as a permanent address for a previous travel assignment. I plan on using a family member's address in North Carolina in order to get the housing stipend so that I can still work in GA. I still will have my house in GA and will be paying my mortgage and taxes here. So basically I'm asking can I change my permanent address to the NC address to get the housing stipend without getting flagged by the IRS? Has anyone ever done this? By changing my permanent address with a nursing agency effect the loan on my home being that it is known as my primary housing??
