Hi, I have my first travel assignment at Florida Hospital Tampa. I'm pretty nervous and have read some great reviews on the hospital and a few bad ones for travelers. Anyone ever travel there? Any tips for my first assignment?

I have just taken a second assignment in San Diego. I start first week of July. Has anyone else previously worked there or plans for the future. Thanks.

I drove from NY to San Diego. Loved the trip. I took 4 days and saw sites on the way. I had my Dad travel with me to help with the driving. I paid his meals and flight home. Fun trip. I live near La Jolla in Pacfic Beach area. I actually don't have t...

This is really awful! Can you say which company this is?

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 sign up for the money I signed up to travel :)My ot...

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 housing is great and I love my floor. All in all its ...

I just sent you a PM hopefully it worked :)

Thanks. I'm hoping I can find someone who travels with TNAA and find a good recruiter :) They have a lot of jobs in San Diego listed. I plan on staying with CC because it has been good!

Hi I just got into Florida. I'll try and private message you. I'm from NY and my name is Laura in case it doesn't let me private message you. Laura

Me too. I have to report to HR on Monday. Where is your housing? I'm at Citrus Falls through CC travel. My very first contract. Where was your first assignment?

I'm getting ready to take my first assignment with Florida Hospital Tampa. I'm very nervous. My housing is Citrus Falls. I've heard that's where the put the majority of travel nurses. The housing is gated and looks great. I don't know much about the ...

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 California now. They use supplemental.

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 a great deal but it was in a large office. I was ...

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 room to float to some different floors. I'm also b...

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 just wondering though my first job was a Level 1 I...

That is what I thought. A few of my friends were signed after 14 months at a hospital but I don't know much about the company and when I sign I want to sign with a reputable one. I am chemo certified but wanted to get back to the ICU unit. The hospit...

Does anyone know anyone or work at CMC in Charlotte? Interested in possibly applying there. Salary and work enviroment. I've heard nothing but positive things. Thanks :)

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 one. I have some family friends that will put me ...

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 Hematology Oncology office where we treat cancer patients. ...

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 unit.

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 right for me. I have a few friends that are traveling ...

I am a first year RN grad. I have worked almost 1O months on an ICU floor and have been so unhappy. My hours are awful and I have no life. I have wanted so badly to have a better schedule. I applied for a job at a state of the art cancer center and t...

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 the ground running.

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 but I was just not sure on the travel nursing and I...
