This whole issue doesn't have a clear cut black and white answer. Just had another recruiter call me before and yet again, had no idea this was an issue or that having a tax home or lack of means no tax stipends. Was trying to tell me a permanent add...

Update on what I learned from travel tax expert. If you don't own a home or contribute anything to that tax home ie rent utilities etc. That is not considered your tax home. In my case I do not have a tax home. But a permanent residence. I could be ...

Yes I definitely will. Interesting that I talked with 2 recruiters today. One of which I was referred to by a long time travel nurse and he said he couldn't advise me on any tax information (understandable) but on the flip side he was in such a rush ...

Okay to just to clarify. By me living with parents, i have never lived on my own, I do not pay any rent or bills on the house. My only bills are my student loans and my car note. Is this considered my tax home? Or just claiming this as my place of re...

Yes thank you NED RN, I did read upon that "I should start paying rent." I just want to make sure I am well informed and making sound judgement before i jump into looking at pay packages and being submitted. I definitely do not want to have any tax i...

Thank you for that information NedRN. I have done more research today. Ironically I received a call from one of the agencies that was mentioned by you. And received even more valid information from a recruiter. Prior companies I talked with didn't me...

Understandable. I mostly went with that company due to highway hypodermics ratings. But I now do realize and have been reading many posts from blogs, your post, other forums etc. However, being my first time, do you have at least a couple reputable o...

I was also received the same amount from Flexcare. The location was in Dallas and Houston, TX for a telemetry nights position. Between them and two other companies I talked with, that pay package was comparable. I've been submitted by one company alr...

Hello all, Just an update. My first assignment will be in September, hopefully in the Maryland/DC area with Aya healthcare. Any advice? I'm 24 yrs old and it would be my first real experience living on my own. Is there anyone else heading to that are...

Is anyone using Aya? I'm from the east coast, think I want to try out Texas or GA and eventually make it to Cali. I told my recruiter to get back with me in February. Think I may travel for a year, then apply to grad schools.

Hello ladies! I've been debating on travel nursing vs going back to school for masters. I'm 23 and will have 2 years tele/med-surg experience in July. I think its time for me to venture off. I still live with my parents, I'm single and I work in the ...

Hello All, I graduated in July with my associates in nursing and will be taking NCLEX during my Christmas break in the upcoming weeks. I'm 21 years and still stay with my parents and have 2 semesters until I receive my BSN. I am considering joining t...

Did Kaplan's questions seem similar to NCLEX? I have the Kaplan on Demand and have 82% of qbank left to complete and I test next weekend.

Oh my goodness, CONGRATULATIONS:yelclap: and esp to expecting your first child!!!! What a wonderful way to bring in the new year. Your story has definitely inspired me. I will be retaking the NCLEX-RN in two weeks. This is will be my second attempt. ...

Im retaking the nclex-RN for the second time at the end of the month. So far my test results from using Kap on Demand are : Diagnostic: 54% Q1: 56% Q2: 59% Q3: 62% And I just took the readiness test today and got 62% I plan on finishing QT: 4&5 ...

Tanyanchlls: What score was the 53% in? Have you completed all of the QT or the readiness test? Don't feel defeated by the score, just keep up with reviewing the rationales.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate those words!!! I will definitely keep everyone posted!

Are you completing 50 questions in one sitting while doing the qbank. I try to but sometimes I end up doing 25 and as soon as i finish I go back and do the other 25, prob not the best. Tonight I did one 25 question and got 60% and did the next 25 and...

Congratulations!!!!, what a wonderful way to end this year. I will be taking my at the end of Jan and Im praying and believing I will pass it for the 2nd time.

Can you please send me your nclex info at [email protected]. I really appreciate it.

Good Insight, Thanks for sharing!!!

I'll take any tips or pointers as well.

I took my diagnostic test last week and scored in the mid 50%. I believe scoring over 60% is substantial. You shouldn't be too bummed because its made to show areas of weakness and what one needs to improve in. I wouldn't let the score deter you from...

Congratz, Pretty sure you can start the celebrating:yeah::yeah:. Can't wait to say that the PVT worked for me next month

I'll be keeping you in my thoughts tonight/tomorrow. Cheers for coming this far. Have a good night. :)
