    auntlala replied to michlynn's topic in Travel

  5. San Diego

    auntlala replied to auntlala's topic in Travel

    I found my own housing and am in La Jolla. I'm blocks from the beach and ride a bike everywhere. It's amazing here. Pay is much lower because it's such a prime location. I don't care though I didn't...

    Hi, I'm on my first assignment and currently with CC. My recruiter is pretty good even though she can be slow to getting back to me. I've also been told by other travelers my pay is pretty low. My...

  12. Experience needed?

    auntlala replied to auntlala's topic in Travel

    I have 3 friends that have been traveling over a year. They only had 18 months on an oncology floor and they continue to get assignments. The first few were pretty rough but they are very happy in...

  13. Experience needed?

    auntlala posted a topic in Travel

    I really want to get into travel nursing but just wondering on what you need for experience? I worked in Neuro ICU for 11 months at a large hospital. I then took a job as a chemo nurse where I learned...

  14. Experience needed?

    auntlala replied to auntlala's topic in Travel

    I know I am in no way ready to travel now and have no desire until I feel I've gained the experience needed. I like your idea about the per diem. Right now I'm doing 32 hours a week so it would leave...

  15. Experience needed?

    auntlala replied to auntlala's topic in Travel

    Thanks and I totally agree. I know their first few assignments were awful. Things are finally better for them. I really do think my chemo experience will help but the ICU will be the big benefit. I'm...

  16. Experience needed?

    auntlala replied to auntlala's topic in Travel

    auntlala replied to auntlala's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I had a conference call video on Wednesday with CMC. It seemed to go pretty well but it's a process. I'm looking to relocate in July or August. It's just a huge step I'm moving there really knowing no...

  19. Experience needed

    auntlala posted a topic in Travel

    I've thought about travel nursing off and on for a year but not even sure an agency would look at me. I worked on a Neuro ICU floor for 11 months then I took a job at a cancer center. It's a...

    Really. That's the floor I was on. It's a level 1 Trauma hospital and my floor was Neuro ICU and we also had a Neuro Step down

  21. Experience needed

    auntlala replied to auntlala's topic in Travel

    Neurology/Neurosurgery ICU. I was on that floor for about a year and then transferred to a cancer center. I probably will go back to a hospital and put another year in. I just think the timing is...

    auntlala replied to auntlala's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks a bunch! I am going to miss my friends but I didn't feel comfortable signing with a travel nurse company. We are all first year nurses and I have heard that you really need to be able to hit...

    auntlala replied to auntlala's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks everyone I accepted the new position. My friends are going to travel nurse in California for 3 months and I wish them well. I think they think I'm crazy being so young and taking a 9 to 5 job...
