Can someone break down to me what travel nursing agencies mean when they pay an hourly wage as well as a per diem amount per day? Is it normal to have a lower wage and a higher per diem? Why the two different types anyway? For example, this isnt an exact quote I received from a recruiter, but she said this is about average for telemetry in southern california (LA/San Diego area). Does this sound about right? -Take home to be $810/week with the free/provided housing. I am from Louisiana and it is only about $100 more than what I take home per week now. should I be asking for more? I have an interview with Kaiser San Diego next Tuesday. Has anyone ever worked there? As the ball gets rolling and I get real numbers, I will post them on here for any feedback from you seasoned travelers. thank you

Good luck to you! Please post about your journey so new travelers can get a feel of what to expect:)

Hi palmbeachrn, I'm also looking into Kaiser facilities in Northern California. Glad to know you like it! I'm new to traveling. Do you mind me asking your agency, housing, pay, etc? Thank you! I just don't know what to expect or ask for my contract.

hey, i am from lafayette, la.

Hi, I am a telemetry nurse from Louisiana looking to do travel nursing for the first time. Is it ok to travel alone for your first assignment? Should I find a travel nurse partner? If so, anyone interested?? I am open to any location. Any advice from seasoned travelers would be greatly appreciated!
