  1. Full timing in RV and Travel Nurse needs advice

    raindrop replied to skiermom's topic in Travel

    raindrop replied to Underthemoonicp6's topic in Travel

    I tried HR once and she wouldn't tell me. She said they want permanent nurses, not temps, and if I'm interested, I need to apply. I told her I am interested, but I want to first get a feel for the...

  4. Housing Conditions

  5. Housing Conditions

    raindrop replied to trail_hiker's topic in Travel

    The other companies won't find out b/c there is no need for you to list this assignment. But even if they *somehow* found out, why would it be a strike against you? You drove 1k miles 3 days before...

    raindrop replied to raindrop's topic in Travel
