    Travel pay offer...your input please

    79Tango replied to sweetgurly25's topic in Travel

    That deal sounds OK.. It really depends on the location and cost of the housing to know if it is a good deal or not. What do the locals there make? If they are making more than $37/HR then you could...

    What do you know about HCAs???

    79Tango replied to yogalove's topic in Travel

    No I did not even ask what the deal was. I just figured the NV license and not knowing which nights between 3 different hospitals is what created the need. I will check through my old emails because...

    What do you know about HCAs???

    79Tango replied to yogalove's topic in Travel

    I got a call the other day talking about MedSurg/Tele in Vegas. It actually sounded more like a Travel Registry job, if there is such a thing. I am guessing it was for the HCA. The deal was you had...

    Does this sound fishy?

    79Tango replied to RNPB10's topic in Travel

    Whose having trouble? My point about the bolded quote was more about the OP telling the manager "they gave too tall of an order for even the most seasoned of nurses." That is a pretty bold statement...

    Health insurance for family while traveling

    79Tango replied to ckelley03's topic in Travel

    I would look into getting a private policy for your family. You should be able to get a good name-brand policy for $600-800/month, which is much better than the $1000/mosts travel agencies cost. Not...

    I agree.. $16/HR in 2012??? That is freaking nuts! I would RUN and not look back. Use this as a baseline--- $29/HR & $1400/month Housing. There is a company offering that right now in Houston...
