  4. Would you stay at an assignment you didn't like for the money?

    Traveldee replied to perfexion's topic in Travel

    I've done it (extended at an assignment I hated but paid well). It's a balancing act. What are your ultimate goals? I knew I would be traveling internationally for a few months and needed the $$ in...

    Traveldee replied to HarleyNrs's topic in Travel

    Traveldee replied to NYCNurse2016's topic in Travel

    Thanks NedRN. Did you sign a lease usually or no? And how soon did you meet roommates/look at houses prior to your assignment start date? (Sorry for all the questions. This would be my fifth...

    Traveldee replied to Maevish's topic in Travel

    NurseRies, NedRN, and anyone else who has put the housing wanted ads on craigslist, did you see the apartment or unit before you agreed to stay there? What is the best way to go about that process of...

  13. How do you have time to volunteer especially to other countrys?

    Traveldee replied to Ultraposh's topic in General Nursing

    The nurses I know who volunteer overseas use their vacation time if they are staff. (There may very well be exceptions to this, I just don't know of any). The majority of nurses I talk to who...

    Traveldee replied to Cetutko's topic in Travel

  19. Labor and Delivery Travel Nursing

    Traveldee replied to Cetutko's topic in Travel

  21. Anyone been to Montefiore in Bronx, Ny?

    Traveldee replied to HarleyNrs's topic in Travel

  22. Anyone been to Montefiore in Bronx, Ny?

    Traveldee replied to HarleyNrs's topic in Travel

    HarleyNrs, I work L&D, not PICU. From talking to other travelers, my guess is, this unit will likely be busier than what you are used to. But, I have mainly talked to LD, ER, and medsurg nurses...

    Traveldee replied to HarleyNrs's topic in Travel
