    From verbal agreement to contract in hand - average time frame?

    Really California? A CA BON vent

    HikingNinja replied to HikingNinja's topic in Travel

    My problem was not that I needed to send in the transcripts even though it will be an added cost. If they really want to see that I completed speech communications class in 1993, that's fine. My issue...

    Getting Out of My Contract

    HikingNinja replied to daisybsn's topic in Travel

    I'm sorry. But I must agree with the others. If you had certain pay requirements this should have been relayed to your recruiter. Texas historically pays poorly. It sounds like California or the...

    HikingNinja replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    Any Washington or Oregon Hospitals to avoid?

    HikingNinja replied to HikingNinja's topic in Travel

    Thanks Ned, good to know. From my research and asking the many travel RNs I know, they all say WA and OR hospitals in general will give me a nice break from the mayhem of my Las Vegas facilities. I...
