    Financial benefits of travel nursing: real or imagined?

    Soliloquy replied to DetC's topic in Travel

    That's why it's best not to do it for the money? :) You can have the company set up housing for you and that way you only pay for one bit housing. Rent out your old place but keep a little of that...

    Nursing Specialties with a Slower Pace and Less Patient/Family Interaction

    Soliloquy posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey everyone! I'm currently a travel RN whose background is in Med-surg/tele. All the units I've worked on so far have been very busy, very fast paced, just busy busy busy all the time and I hate it!...

    Nursing Specialties with a Slower Pace and Less Patient/Family Interaction

    Soliloquy replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, as a travel RN, I'm on an oncology floor now and I'm not feeling it. The patients are fine, but the family can take a lot out of me. And yes, pain meds pain meds pain

    What Are "The Politics"?

    Soliloquy posted a topic in Travel

    When travel nurses say that they don't have to deal with "the politics" as a travel RN, what do they mean? I'm currently a traveler, and yet I still feel like they're trying to get me to deal with the...

    What Are "The Politics"?

    Soliloquy replied to Soliloquy's topic in Travel

    I know it's bad, but I dont even want to do huddle or hospitalist meetings. I initially didn't do all weekends and nights because I didn't want to seem lazy but really and truly, I don't want to do...

    What Are "The Politics"?

    Soliloquy replied to Soliloquy's topic in Travel

    I would love to tell them no to all meetings but I'm trying to keep my name out of the cliquishness and gossip right now and I think the fact that I have a lot of questions keeps me on their radar....

    Do you have any tips for telephone interview for a travel nursing job?

    Soliloquy replied to empatheticRN's topic in Travel

    My interview was about the Times I went above and beyond for a patient, etc. But I think it's because they're trying to get travellers to stay and they're trying to train them and include them and...

    What Are "The Politics"?

    Soliloquy replied to Soliloquy's topic in Travel

    I'm trying to. To be honest, a lot of travelers who come to the floor here don't stay because of the workload. But it's a lot like my old hospital unit (which I don't like). What I love is that the...

    I am NOT a Nurse...

    Soliloquy replied to GoofyBlondeChic's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not offended. Sometimes my patients think I'm the tech and the tech the nurse because of how young I look and am. Lol When I'm opening the shift, I always make sure that I introduce myself and...

    About a month into my first RN job? Before that I felt like an imposter wearing the Rn badge.

    Soliloquy posted a topic in Travel

    Took the job offer. I'm not too too worried about the pay because I'm doing this for exposure and because I want to explore a bit. But I want to make sure that if this is low, that I don't accept...

    Soliloquy replied to ckcana2's topic in Travel

    I believe the money in the 401k is yours but you can move it into a rollover ira so that you can keep your money in one place as opposed to several different accounts. Having your money all over can...

    cardio is my main interest tbh. Has anyone joined a meetup group dedicated to fitness? I'd like to do some things like sprinting and running but I think I need the motivation of others with like...

    Soliloquy replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    That's my big thing. All my labs checked out fine, blood pressure is excellent, so are my other vitals. But I'm just always exhausted and my legs throb after a 12 hour shift and sometimes look a bit...

    How long is too long to travel?

    Soliloquy replied to dmitchner's topic in Travel

    Oh I see. Somehow I always thought that these things manifest ten fold as a traveler (especially with management). I didn't realize they
