   RN_travlr replied to TooterIA's topic in Emergency

8. Why are nurses such back-stabbers?

   RN_travlr replied to RNforLongTime's topic in Relations

   Jealousy....its true...If you know who is saying what..I would confront them. Not yelling and screaming....but in a grown up manner....this person has probably been a bully and never had anyone confront them before.

10. Problem with another nurse

    RN_travlr replied to MSICUNurse131's topic in Travel

    SC is slim picking, period. It is tough to get an assignment there. Usually if the location is a good one, you are running against nurses that have years of travel experience. My advice..first assignment, take whatever you can get....first time trave...

14. Does this sound like a decent rate?

    RN_travlr replied to gnursjr2's topic in Travel

    $1300 a week and I pay housing is about what I get on almost every contract. I have had offers higher but very remote places(ND, SD, Iowa) Housing can be cheap anywhere if you arent expecting the Hilton. If you pay $700-$800 a month housing your stil...
