I'm traveling to Houston soon, supposed to be 1800/week

Oh right! Didn't think about that

I've been reading a lot of these threads discussing pay. I've been a nurse for 2 years, 3 different fulltime jobs in 3 compact states. Now know traveling can pay better but I keep seeing posts from people saying things about what the travel company offers like this for example, "1200 a week and no housing included?? That's bad". I guess from a travel perspective? I have almost never brought home a check more than 1300- and that's bi-weekly full time! Bringing 1200 a week sounds A- OK to me! What am I missing?? I guess costs of benefits for staff jobs in comparison to all the costs/hardships of being a traveler?? I probably make no sense. Lol. Enlighten me please

Averysrnmom, I've heard many good things about them! Thanks for your input, I may msg u with questions should I go that route!

Thanks NedRN! I have learned a lot from reading your postings! Below I listed one of the comp packages. I used pantravelers tax calc and I think it came to around $44 an hour. Does that look like i did that correct? Also if overtime is a possibility I should be negotiating for at least $66?- based off overall comp and the information you have stated many times lol trying to put it all together! $648.00 Taxable Wages ($18.00/hr * 36 hours) + $1,164.03 Weekly Per Diems: subject to fulfillment of the weekly required hours. $1,812.03 Weekly Gross Compensation -15% Hypothetical Tax Rate (adjustable based on your W4) $1,714.83 Weekly Estimated Net Compensation after Taxes

First time traveler here. I've read much of this Forum and feel very overwhelmed. Mostly with taxes and pay rates and trying not to get scammed! I was submitted today through flexcare in a few locations. Anyone have an input on this company? I also have profiles with Faststaff and Trinity
