   SCRN01 replied to advor's topic in Travel

   It sounds to me like you are trying to learn too much about things you won't know until you just do it. Nothing wrong with being prepared and asking questions. There is a lot to take in. But just like...

   SCRN01 replied to Tuffnikki's topic in Travel

   Ned is right on here. The difference between just showing up and everything being ready and doing it all yourself is HUGE. We have done both and have had mixed results with both. We travel with two...

   SCRN01 replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

   I'm really sorry to hear things didn't go so well for you last time. I think to prevent a ghost effect of your last experience, I would travel somewhere far far away from where you traveled last time....

4. Anybody want to start the new year traveling?

   SCRN01 replied to lmf39's topic in Travel

   You will definitely miss family and friends but it's a sacrifice you'll just have to decide you're willing to make or not. The best time to start would be after the holidays. You'll have had your fill...

   SCRN01 replied to palmbeachRN's topic in Travel

   We left Tampa, drove home to Ohio to visit family, and then drove to L.A. The Grand Canyon is a definite MUST. We stayed at a hotel 5 miles from the park for 2 nights. Planned it so we got there late...

10. Has anyone else noticed drop in jobs?

    SCRN01 replied to SCRN01's topic in Travel

    I am in the ER. I was lucky to land a 26 week contract so I'm enjoying a little stability right now. Kind of nice to be able to "settle down" for 6 months. Didn't mean to scare anyone off. Been...

    It seems like on the East Coast jobs are a little scarce as of recently. Has anyone else experienced this? Wondering if maybe it's just a seasonal thing. Also, anyone who has been traveling since...

14. Do Travel Agencies Hire New Grads?

    SCRN01 replied to trutuyu's topic in Travel

    I agree with the others. Not only will you not likely be able to get a job right out of school, but you probably don't want to either. Your first 1-2 years you are basically learning the ropes and...

15. Recovering travelling nurse with questions

    SCRN01 replied to theopenroad54's topic in Travel

    NedRN is absolutely correct. Travel Agencies will use a dog house as a permanent address if you let them. They don't care if you get audited. They just want to be able to say "look how much money...
