  1. It's not a legally binding contract? Bill Rates Dropping Fast!

    Travel_RN_0714 posted a topic in Travel

    I signed an extension that was to begin mid-April at a hospital that's quite nice to work at. In my current "contract", I'm making a pretty good Covid pay rate and extended at a lower pay rate as we...

  2. RPN/LPN role during Intubation

    Travel_RN_0714 replied to StaceyPaigee's topic in Operating Room

    Keep in mind that the AORN standards/guidelines or whatever term you wish to use are just that. They really are not binding rules and are interpreted differently depending on where you work....

  3. cancelling contracts

    Travel_RN_0714 replied to esrun2015's topic in Travel

    Of course they can. A hospital system isn't going to keep travel staff if they aren't needed and pay them, as well as their regular staff if the patient census is low. Just 2 short years ago...

  4. It's not a legally binding contract? Bill Rates Dropping Fast!

    Travel_RN_0714 replied to Travel_RN_0714's topic in Travel

    Well Ned, thanks for the free legal advice. However, I happen to like my recruiter and the hospital that I'm at. I'm not going to shame him or the travel agency I'm currently with. I feel he was...

  5. The Importance of a Title: Anesthesiologist vs. Nurse Anesthetist

    Travel_RN_0714 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    Talk about sloppy practice. CRNA's like you and your arrogance is what's wrong with the medical profession. If you ever tried moving a patient to the end of the surgical day over an IV start, some of...

  6. The Importance of a Title: Anesthesiologist vs. Nurse Anesthetist

    Travel_RN_0714 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    I've worked with them all. MDA's, CRNA's and AA's. I'm usually there when the "anesthesia provider" interviews the patient just before going to surgery and virtually all of them never use their title...

  7. NOW what?? Terrified...

    Travel_RN_0714 replied to erocafeller's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Guess I'd be terrified as well. I'm bothered by your use of opioids for 4 years and wonder why as a health professional you don't realize it's not in your best interest given all of the news about...

  8. Want to Travel Nurse, don't know where to start

    Travel_RN_0714 replied to lisayear17's topic in Travel

    I forgot to mention another few things to look at when comparing agencies and their contracts. What the agency charges you for a "missed shift" fee. Usually it's about the cost of the daily meals...

  9. RNFA

    Travel_RN_0714 replied to drizzy13's topic in Operating Room

    Gosh, I haven't worked at a hospital with and actual RNFA in years. I've only worked in Wisconsin and Minnesota but there was only one hospital out of the 19 that I've worked at that had an RNFA. Not...

  10. On call policies

    Travel_RN_0714 replied to marcnor's topic in Operating Room

    From what I've experienced, most OR departments do expect you to take call as a staff member. For travelers, some do want the traveler to take call and some don't require it. For various reasons....

  11. Want to Travel Nurse, don't know where to start

    Travel_RN_0714 replied to lisayear17's topic in Travel

    Well, picking out an agency can be an involved process. You're going to get all kinds of recommendations as to which one is the best, etc. I've been traveling for about 9 years, dozens of contracts...

  12. Prophecy Testing

    Travel_RN_0714 replied to koalafiedRN's topic in Travel

    Just had to retake 4 of the Prophecy exams. I'm a traveling RN and every once in a while a certain travel agency will use these awful exams. I had to do the 3 basic RN core competency exams and the...
