  1. Buying a new vehicle

    emb92250 posted a topic in Travel

    I started travel nursing to be closer to my now husband (he's in the military). We are both from Nebraska. I took an assignment near his base in North Carolina. We married, and now I have accepted an...

  2. Buying a new vehicle

    emb92250 replied to emb92250's topic in Travel

    So, here's an update in case anyone was following this. I did end up registering in NC as a non-resident, which I can do since I am the spouse of a non-resident military member. In the end, it does...

  3. Buying a new vehicle

    emb92250 replied to emb92250's topic in Travel

    I still rent in Nebraska. I haven't moved any of my things from my tax home in Nebraska. But I plan on moving little by little to North Carolina during my

  4. Civillian nursing on base hospitals

    emb92250 replied to emb92250's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks PixieRN! I've read your posts on here for the last several years. Your advise is always great. Thanks for all that you do

  5. Civillian nursing on base hospitals

    emb92250 posted a topic in Government, Military

    Can anyone tell me about working as a civilian nurse on base hospitals? Originally I wanted to be a military nurse but was medically disqualified. Currently I'm a travel nurse with 2.5 years of...

  6. Civillian nursing on base hospitals

    emb92250 replied to emb92250's topic in Government, Military

    This is specifically what I've been looking into. At Fort Bragg's Army Womack Medical Center: https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/391727400 I don't know much about working as a government...

  7. Any traveler's in St.Louis?

    emb92250 replied to Runnsun's topic in Travel

    I'm purposfully staying away from St. Louis with all this Ferguson crap. No sense in going to a high risk

  8. Agency jobs in Pittsburgh area?

    emb92250 replied to lulu523's topic in Travel

    Cross country has positions for Hershey, PA right now that make quite a bit. And you can find fully furnished housing for about $650/mo, which is only half of the housing stipend. I'd go for that if I...

  9. Recommendations for Travel Companies

    emb92250 replied to hseeley1's topic in Travel

    There are multiple threads about this. But here goes anyway. What you're looking to get out of a travel agency depends on your goals as a traveler. Do you primarily want big pay? Prime locations?...

  10. Tips for getting into ICU for experienced RNs

    emb92250 replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Critical Care

    I think your basic idea of getting hired into an ICU position at a different hospital is a good idea, but I wouldn't sacrifice and go to the hospital with high turnover and rejected by travelers. I'm...

  11. Contract? Is this fair?

    emb92250 replied to dimplechinRN's topic in Travel

    A travel company that doesn't provide fully furnished housing is a red flag to me. And I've worked as a staff nurse in NE at $19/hr, so THATS the low end of

  12. Nursing shift report--what's your procedure?

    emb92250 replied to ktliz's topic in Critical Care

    Personally, benmca13, I have a hard time remembering everyone's meds and PRNs and drip rates after just being told once. I write it down. And if I don't remember to look at my paper, I forget again! I...

  13. No briefs?! Is this an ICU thing?

    emb92250 replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Critical Care

    I'm an ICU nurse and I agree about not using briefs on ICU patients. In my mind, briefs are for those who are cognate and ambulatory, moving around, etc. ICU patients are usually bed bound and unable...

  14. CCRN exam

    emb92250 replied to PActuRN's topic in Critical Care

    I was so nervous for the CCRN that I over studied. I used the Pass CCRN book and AACN's book to study once through, but they really do have too much info that you don't need. The CD that comes with...

  15. Does anyone know where I might be able to take a N95 fit test?

    emb92250 replied to tallynurse's topic in Travel

    First, you switch companies. Go to one that doesn't leave you hanging. They shoulda been all over this, making the arrangements and finding the testing

    NC- $1259/mo NH-

  17. Travel Nursing in Endoscopy

    emb92250 replied to regebe88's topic in Travel

    I think it depends on the hospital. I've seen positions for IR that specifically said no call. Endo is so specific, be prepared to go where the job is, not necessarily where you wanna go. Do some...

  18. Tell me about your housing!

    emb92250 replied to DrunkInHeaven's topic in Travel

    Housing will be sufficient, not necessarily extravagant. Also depends on what is available. Agencys typically use the same housing complex/ hotels for the travelers they send to repeat areas. If it...

  19. Dallas- Ebola

    emb92250 replied to ParalyticAgent's topic in Travel

    Couldn't pay me enough to do any Ebola hospital crisis pay. I understand with the right precautions it would be hard to accidently contract it, but still. Why take the

  20. housing stipend

    emb92250 replied to tiggerslilyrn's topic in Travel

    In order for the stipend to be tax free, the hospital must be located atleast 50 miles away from your house. As far as driving each shift, that technically doesn't qualify for a tax free housing...

  21. Army Nurse Corps FY2014

    emb92250 replied to jdubu22's topic in Government, Military

    Hey, I know this is a long shot, but if you see this message can you inbox me about your application experience? I'm looking at doing the CRNA program. I wouldn't mind being a 66H, but seems that...

  22. Navy

    emb92250 replied to Kariw1088's topic in Government, Military

    It's competitive all over. Do you mean enlist as something other than a nurse? I don't think you can just change MOS mid contract. I'm not sure though. or did you mean apply as some other nursing...

  23. 7 Year Address History

    emb92250 replied to PacoUSA's topic in Travel

    I thought only permanent addresses were

  24. Is this a good contract?

    emb92250 replied to PhillyFNP's topic in Travel

    My rule of thumb is if you take their housing, expect about $1,000/wk. if you take the stipend, expect $1,400/wk. But I think I have lower expectations than

    emb92250 replied to tech1000's topic in Travel

    I'm in NH as well, Dartmouth? I'm not ending til Dec 1. I'm looking for a travel buddy starting in the new year. I have 2 cats, am single female, and am an ICU nurse. I'm not looking for a specific...
