How much is your housing stipend because I'M finding mine is on the low end and the housing they supply is far from the boston area

Hey I got the job in Boston! My base is $31 but I'm going to a large teaching hospital so I think that's average. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the advice it was greatly appreciated! I am trying to be much more flexible with where and when I am willing to work. I think I will talk to my manager and just tell her the truth about the whole situation and just see what happens. Lets hope I get some kind of offer this week because I'm down to the wire. I might have to just fly out to CA to speed up the license process and get an assignment there. That's my last resort plan so lets hope it does not come to that! Are there any states besides CA that are new traveler friendly? Please share.

I wanted to give my landlord a heads up because every position that I qualified for wanted me there in two weeks. Every month I'm not living in my apartment I would still have to pay that months rent until he found another tenant. I hoped that i would get a job offer and he would rent the place out quickly so I could avoid paying rent somewhere I don't live. Because the licenses are so expensive I only got one for Mass because I wanted to live in Boston. After getting the license and no acceptable job offers I expanded to other states where I could get a quick license.Since then I haven't gotten an interview anywhere. I was originally with 4 agencies but two of them became unreliable and that's why a majority of my searching for a travel nursing job has been with two. I was just curious to know if having this much difficulty finding my first assignment is normal.

I am currently a tele nurse of 2.5 yrs and hold a permanent tele job.I am having a hard time finding my first assignment and wanted to know if anyone else was having the same issue.I am working with 2 agencies and have my mass license but for the past 1.5 mo have not been able to get anything.Two places wanted me there in a 1.5weeks and the rest weren't interested. I had to give my landlord notice because I would be breaking my lease and am starting to get nervous I wont find anything. I have even tried DC,VA,MD. Anyone have any advice?

Hey I'm I first time traveler also and I'm trying to have my first assignment be in Boston as well. What hospital are you going to? Hopefully this week I hear back from Brigham and Women's Hospital with an offer and we can compare notes!
