  1. SANE on call pay

    Hello Sabadudu! I was a SANE nurse briefly, and we were getting on call $300 per case if we were called in, after they revamped the program. Before, I think it was time and a half or something like that. Hope this helps and hope you get what you dese...
  2. Am I getting paid appropriately?

    I am getting kind of frustrated because it seems like every assignment I go on I find other travelers from different companies on my same assignment that are getting paid a lot more than I am. Mind you, this is only my second assignment. I ended up...
  3. Am I getting paid appropriately?

    Thank you, nedrn. Does "pending review of the contract" just mean/let them know I'm not accepting officially until I review the written contract? Also, would I still be able to ask my recruiter for more money at this point? Thanks for for all your ...
  4. Am I getting paid appropriately?

    Mind you I pay my rent back home still and will have to find rent in LA as well. Making 3200 bi weekly. So that's why it doesn't sound like enough to me. Isn't LA expensive??!
  5. travel agency recommendations for west coast

    Could you perhaps tell me what an ER Job at Kaiser 36hour/week pay might be like with American mobile? After er calculating the blended rate, it comes to 44/hr, and that's including the stipend. Doesn't that sound low??? Plus they only offer 40 cent...

  12. Should I change agencies?

    I am on my first assignment with Travel Nurse Across America. My qualms with them: I did not sign up for tax advantage because I was only 10mi from my home. But they signed me up anyway (by accident), and after 3 paychecks I mentioned to my recruite...
  13. Should I change agencies?

    Thank you for your response. Do you happen to know if there is a time frame between when you begin a state's application for licensure and when you complete sending everything in? I am considering holding the license verification portion until I am r...
  14. Should I change agencies?

    Thanks for your response. I am a first time traveler and have been at my first job 2.5 years, so I suppose it's a young person's mistake to be disillusioned into thinking that payroll should be astute at their job. Learning a lot in my twenties. than...
  15. Should I change agencies?

    Thank you so much for your response. I know that it's the governments money. But my point is that I am frustrated because I caught the problem. If I didn't say anything, then it wouldn't have been caught for a long time. So yes, it is a good thing t...
  16. Should I change agencies?

    I lost money by spending $240 on a license that I may never be reimbursed for, even though I still plan on using it. I just might not be able to use it within the next 6 months
  17. Can I join different agencies at once?

    I was curious to know if any of you had experience with different agencies. I have worked in the ER two years (first nsg job out of school) and think it's a good time to start travel nursing. I am certified with CEN and have PALS/TNCC/ENPC/ACLS/BLS, ...
  18. Can I join different agencies at once?

    How are you with 5 at once? Youre not taking assignments with each of them are you? Are you just using them to compare pay and locations against each other?
  19. Can I join different agencies at once?

    Wow thanks-- that is great advice! I thought the trauma thing might be a big deal, because on a few websites when I searched for particular cities that I wanted there was nothing within 50mi that had a travel nurse posting or need, unless it had a "t...
  20. I am looking to apply as an officer of the Navy reserves. I have just started as an ER nurse, and want to apply but I have some questions. There was someone named "LCDR Dan" doing a great job answering questions regarding this topic. How do I tell m...
  21. Am I The Only One?

    Relocate. I am moving next month from Philadelphia. I had one interview at Hahnemann, only because I had an "in" but still didn't get the position because of no experience. Try further west or north in the state, or another state altogether. I hope t...
  22. CNA's taken off schedule after passing boards?

    My employer can't afford to lose anymore techs! As long as I'm there and willing to work, I still have a job. I passed July 18 and I still work there. I didn't realize you can't work as a tech/CNA after passing the boards! I'm a unit secretary too. W...

    Thank you so much! I am taking it tomorrow, and I was leary of coming on here. But I can't study much anymore or focus, and I was just hoping to find something inspirational and not discouraging. Ilove this post...I need to get praying because I jus...
