    BARNgirl replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    Thank you for your comment, BluntForceTrauma. I still mention Fastaff to other (potential) travelers looking for generous compensation, but I also urge them to have a "plan B", and never to quit their...

    I shall do that. Thank you for your prolific

  3. Find your own contract...make more money

    BARNgirl replied to RNewbie's topic in Travel

    "By the way, that is exactly the scenario it takes to do the contract independently. Once they want you, you have leverage with HR to do your own contract. You need to have a contract written, get...

    BARNgirl replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    UtErRnEmt, I was also lured by their generous compensation when they offered me a Peds ER position in the Bronx earlier this year. After completing the marathon of online testing, running to the lab...

  5. ED RN travel placements-mostly low acuity assignments?

    BARNgirl replied to cmcinty8136's topic in Travel

    As an active ER traveler, I have learned that each facility's approach to utilizing us is different. One thing is for sure: in the end, it is up to the charge nurse to arbitrarily assign your rooms...

    BARNgirl posted a topic in Travel

    My recruiter just informed me that this is a typical ER situation at Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx, NY...can anyone confirm/deny

  7. Anyone been to Montefiore in Bronx, Ny?

    BARNgirl replied to HarleyNrs's topic in Travel

    Yes, they still offered me the same housing location, plus a commuting stipend. The only issue was getting a confirmation for the assignment from the Fastaff recruiter after she sent me to do all...

    BARNgirl replied to I'mAnRN2's topic in Travel

    I Hi I'mAnRN, I am relatively new to travel also, and realize that three months won't kill you, no mater where you go. My first assignment was horrible, but I stuck to it and I am a better nurse...

  10. Anyone travel to DUKE,UNC or WAKE Med Hosp?

    BARNgirl replied to dimplechinRN's topic in Travel

    Look up Solstice. I spoke with a recruiter recently and they seem to cover Raleigh_Durham pretty extensively. Medstaff is another one. God luck, we might end up working there together

  11. Ever heard of Fusion?

    BARNgirl posted a topic in Travel

    I am contemplating one of their offers but I have never heard of them...have

  12. Ever heard of Fusion?

    BARNgirl replied to BARNgirl's topic in Travel

    This might have just been the case. After collecting all my information, they called me the next morning to tell me the position had already been filled (which could be true). Now they have my...

  13. Ever heard of Fusion?

    BARNgirl replied to BARNgirl's topic in Travel

    They offer very competitive packages, and the recruiter seems top-notch. Like you, I noticed their RN job search is blank...they called me and I stil do not know how they got my number!What did they...

  14. Praying in the work place

    BARNgirl replied to RipeTomato's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    It is one created by our Christian founding Fathers

  15. Praying in the work place

    BARNgirl replied to RipeTomato's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    If I pray openly (with words), I ask the patient and family first. If they decline, I still pray FOR them on my own. As a Christian patient, I would not be offended if a Native American caregiver...

    BARNgirl replied to emtb2rn's topic in Emergency

    I recently visited Boston for the first time, and was truly amazed at how hospitable and intelligent its people are. From the scholar/tour bus driver to the train commuters who put their newspaper...

  18. Travel Nurse salary by region

    BARNgirl replied to LL2788's topic in Travel

    One thing I have noticed about NYC assignments is that--much like its people-- its rates are far from "average"...I have recently seen them as low as $24, and as high as $50 for ER positions....

  19. BSN required for Montefiore travel RNs?

    BARNgirl posted a topic in Travel

    Has any of you encountered this prerequisite as a travel RN at this facility? I have heard that "Monte" can be incredibly picky sifting through resumes and that they will not consider less than a BSN...

  21. did the md's pen go into v-fib??

    BARNgirl replied to SNB1014's topic in General Nursing

    HCA has gone to electronically-entered physicians' orders, but not all providers comply, it depends on the facility's zeal to enforce it. When taking ER admission orders by providers who cannot-or...

  22. Love my fellow nurses!

    BARNgirl replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

    You've just made my day! I love outspoken advocates like her, and tobacco use is a thorn in my side, too. As a pediatric ER nurse, I educate just about every parent (expectant or not) about the...

  23. BSN required for Montefiore travel RNs?

    BARNgirl replied to BARNgirl's topic in Travel

    Thank you, that makes perfect sense. My recruiter just assured me that BSN is not needed for this assignment, so I should be GTG for now. I have been putting off my BSN, but it might be time to start...
