    Advice on these pay packages please

    One of my recruiters ( I have 3 companies looking for me) is showing me the pay package for every assignment she submits me to for me to OK it. I have already completed my first assignment as a travel nurse back in July. For reference, my base rate w...

    Advice on these pay packages please

    Yes, I do have a tax home. Even after reading through 12 plus pages on this travel forum, I couldn't find a post to compare mine to. I guess I just want to make sure things are in order. And the base rate is half of my first assignment, so that makes...

  7. Hey all, I know this should be the easiest interview question; but it really isn't. Like all other new grad RNs, I am desperately trying to get a job. I have had one real interview and one over the phone. I think I botched both by my weak answer to "...

    Loans, loans and more loans

    I know exactly how you feel. I have a loan debt of $110,000 and I just graduated with my BSN. It is quite depressing. I'm 27yrs old and it took me 7 years to graduate. My reasons are I could not figure out what I wanted to do and essentially wasted a...

    Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    How well does misogyny work out in your facility?

    He thinks this is so funny. He doesn't realize yet that he just ruined his nursing future. I'm not worried about him caring for patients anymore because it is not going to happen. The repercussions of his article have blown up. On facebook alone it h...
