What companies are you guys finding assignments with in Seattle? I have been waiting for something to open up there for over a year, and nothing opens....I have recruiters with Emerald, Trustaff, CCTC, and Flexcare, but still not seeing anything ope...

Im here now in the ER, its not a bad place. Hospital is small, but overall not a bad place to work. The city of Valencia is very nice, and LA is only a short drive away for when you wanna go out.

Company Housing vs Private vs Extended Stay vs Craigslist etc Just wanted to hear from other travelers out there as to how they managed their housing Do you take what the company offers you, or do you find your own? If so, what resources do you use t...

CCTC is a larger company so they have LOTS of contracts available, that being said they seem to be on the cheap side when it comes to pay. They offered me a pay package in Northern Cali that was LESS than what I made as STAFF in KENTUCKY....I told e...

Hey guys, so I have a question. I am considering scheduling an elective surgery for which I will be required to be on 3-4weeks of light duty. I know the obvious answer is to simply schedule the surgery in between contracts and take the time off, an...

Hey Guys, I have read through the other discussions and I know it seems repetitive but I need some help. I am currently an RN in the ER in Kentucky. I have been here for 5 years. I traveled to SF on vacation a while back, and fell in love. I want...

I have a telephone interview coming up with Stanford University in the ER for at travel position. Any insight on what I can expect?

So I am fixing to start my first assignment at Stanford in California, and I live in Kentucky. Im driving and traveling alone with my dog. Any tips/suggestions on ways to pass the time on the way, neat things to do, etc? How long would you estimate...

I'm new to the travel industry, but I have about 5 years ER Experience, I just took my first assignment and i'm fixing to start it, but In my initial excitement I accepted the position before I really took everything into perspective. Its a great ed...

I feel your pain, I have 5 years ER experience, but Im a new traveller and I just took my first assignment and was totally low balled. Its worth it for me just for the experience of where I am going, but in the future im going to try and shoot for a...

Exactly!But ya I went against my better judgement and went with AM just because I wanted Stanford, and they totally low balled me. Is it worth pushing for more money? What are the odds I'll get overtime if I want it?

Yea, It ended up just being an interview with the manager, and Im super excited because its STANFORD, but I honestly do feel like I am being low balled. Its not more than im already making in Kentucky, and in KY I get overtime. If I can get all the...

Weird question. I will soon be starting an assignment in San Francisco for 13 weeks, and I live in Kentucky. I see my PCP here at home monthly for a prescription for Adderall, however once I am in California Im not sure who I should see to get my med...

Thank you everyone for all the excellent comments and suggestions! I will be taking a travel assignment there soon, and I hope this will help me get my foot in the door! As far as the weather goes, one of the main reasons I love the area is due to t...

Wow NedRN, that is actually very helpful and gives me a few new ideas to try out. The only thing I am unsure of is if that will work because Adderall is infact controlled. Adderall is basically Amphetamine Salts, so what worrys me is the doctor in ...
