  3. Advice with structuring CA contracts

    Underthemoonicp6 posted a topic in Travel

    So I finally got my CA license and I'm looking at jobs there and I realized that my usual way of trying to structure contracts may not be best there. I normally try to get a taxed rate of $15-20/hr to...

  4. Switching to peds while traveling?

    Underthemoonicp6 replied to michlynn's topic in Travel

    I wouldn't do it. I work adult ICU and when reaching out to new companies I've had recruiters try to push me into PICU positions they have open. I think these are cases of recruiters trying to get a...

    Underthemoonicp6 replied to hes2371rn's topic in Travel

    Does anyone have insight on hospital culture in New Orleans? I've been traveling mainly between the coasts and have heard negative things about the south in general. That they abuse travelers in all...

  10. Seattle WA!

    Underthemoonicp6 replied to jodyangel's topic in Travel

    Housing in Seattle is skyrocketing. There are a bunch of tech companies here that have internship programs so travel nurses aren't only competing with each other for short term furnished housing. I...

  11. Seattle WA!

    Underthemoonicp6 replied to jodyangel's topic in Travel

    Yes and no. It depends on what you're into. I'm in Seattle right now on assignment and although I use my car less than in other places, I still rely on it a bit. I'm living in Capital Hill which is...

  12. Any companies pay for rental cars?

    Underthemoonicp6 replied to michlynn's topic in Travel

    Most agencies pay a travel stipend. You can use it to ship your car and then fly there. I'm sure you can negotiate a rental car into your contract but know that it's coming out of your piece of the...

  13. BSN required to work in NY?

    Underthemoonicp6 replied to I<3Endo's topic in Travel

    Is this in regards to a travel position or staff? With staff positions, it is absolutely true. Even if you have a BSN and experience it is difficult to find work. However, I did my first travel...

    Underthemoonicp6 replied to cincin1222's topic in Travel

    I have been traveling for about a year and a half now. I don't insure anyone besides myself. I missed the part about you insuring your kids. You didn't mention how many kids. Also are you insuring a...

    Underthemoonicp6 replied to cincin1222's topic in Travel

    I have never worked in MA but have worked in NY and VT and the Northeast I think is generally a pretty well paying area. I personally wouldn't roll out of bed for that rate but if you have good...

  17. Can you make a living just doing strikes?

    Underthemoonicp6 replied to perfexion's topic in Travel

    I know the thing about working strikes is you can be waiting for a strike to happen and then it settles before it starts. You've now missed out on potential income waiting for it and it never happens....

    Underthemoonicp6 replied to tambarino's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Can anyone speak to why sometimes in a TBI they want the sodium 145-155 and other times they want it less than 145? To me it seems if the sodium is less than 145 then you're not really creating the...

  22. Contacting hospitals directly

    Underthemoonicp6 posted a topic in Travel

    I'm someone that wants to hit different locations versus going for biggest pay every time. I'm signed up with multiple agencies but even between them I don't always have the best options. I'm thinking...

    Underthemoonicp6 posted a topic in Travel
