It was $42/hr plus housing....as in they find and pay for housing.Being that I just came back from vaca...on Oahu, cost of living (other than rent) is not bad. Cost of gas was only $4.30.but the island isn't big. I went from Ford Island to anywhere in about 45 min.I was researching craigs's list and noticed the prices.... I will ask her and see what company she is working for....

My friend just got a travel opp for Hawaii.....$42/hr plus housing.

Hello, I think I have my heart set on travel nursing as well. Though I know I am not ready. I think I need at least another year experience. I've been asking questions to the travelers that have come through where I work and they think I would do fine traveling. I have been a nurse for almost a year. I think I want to go into the float pool about 6 months before traveling...but I don't know-I know there is a need for tele/step-down nurses so that may be good enough. I am very flex-so i don't have an issue floating to other floors, assignments being switched mid shift, etc.. I get along with others. I tend to go with the flow (people at my current work think I should be a float nurse). And I pick up things quickly. My question is 1) When did you think you were ready? Do you ever think you are ready? 2) How long did you wait to travel? Do you think you felt ready? 3) How do you deal with situations that are new? (this hospital does bedside bubble studies...this hospital sends the pt down and bedside nurse doesn't see it, etc) 4) How many travel agencies do you work for? I'm suggested to go with at least 2. 5) I know this is dependent on the travel agencies but how does licenses work? Do you generally pay for them or does the agency?
