    emb92250 posted a topic in Travel

    Did anyone else get the email from MedStaff or NovaPro about the 96 hour biweekly travel contract for neuro ICU, CVICU, or progressive care in RI? It says up to $40,000 for 3 months. Anyone else...

  2. What is really going on? I need help!

    emb92250 replied to gcupid's topic in Travel

    I make double what I would have made back home. Per job pay rates are notoriously low there. No complaints from me. It's not a get-rich-quick thing. But I'm able to put back quite a

  3. DA Navy Nurse

    emb92250 replied to Dmendoza's topic in Government, Military

    Dmendoza- I don't think I can get a second opinion or resubmit a waiver. Once it's denied, its denied. But waivers are branch specific. Navy denied me. I'm now working with the Army. Too late to get...

  4. Dartmouth-Hitchcock

    emb92250 replied to ncnursie's topic in Travel

    So, just in case anyone is looking at this thread for advise, I currently am at DHMC and I do NOT like it. I will not be extending and hopefully will be allowed out of my contract early. I am hired...

    emb92250 replied to efawcett's topic in Travel

  6. Traveler orientation

    emb92250 replied to perfexion's topic in Travel

    It really depends on the hospital and unit. In the end, there are certain things that MUST be included, such as glucometer training. I've had "orientations" where I just read through a binder of...

    emb92250 replied to Dmendoza's topic in Government, Military

    I just read through the thread. What is everyone referencing to that went bad last year? I tried to put in a Navy packet last year but was medically disqualified at MEPS and then my medical waiver was...

  8. USAGPAN Direct Accession

    emb92250 posted a topic in Government, Military

    Just looking to start a general thread for anyone looking into USAGPAN as a direct accession. I applied to the Navy in 2013 but was permanently DQ'd (wrongfully in my opinion) for "pancreatitis"...

  9. Sickest or Not Sick Patients?

    emb92250 replied to ajdorazio's topic in Travel

    Honestly, they will give you the easier patients to begin with until you prove yourself and they are confident in your abilities. I find it easy just to be upfront and honest and say "I can do this"...

  10. Travel Nursing Austrailia

    emb92250 replied to Smf098's topic in Travel

    Tell me more about this travel nursing in Australia! I've heard of 6-12 month Saudi Arabia assignments. How different do you think the nursing practice is with new medication names and such? Are they...

  11. High paying warm weather areas

  13. Experience needed?

    emb92250 replied to auntlala's topic in Travel

    Any company will sign you with any amount of experience. But their hospitals they contract with will likely want 18 months or 2 years experience at the bedside. I started traveling with 20 months...

  16. Epic training

    emb92250 replied to ewrn's topic in Travel

    I am in the same boat as aamy and mochajchips. I lucked out and was hired by a hospital going through the EMR conversion. They hired and trained the travelers in Epic, the same classes the core staff...

  17. Experience time? Agencies vs facilities

    emb92250 replied to heydelilah's topic in Travel

    I had 20 months of experience as a nurse, all in ICU, before I became a traveler. The general want of facilities is 2 years of nursing experience, and then some require 1, some require 2 years...

    emb92250 replied to acern72's topic in Travel

    I always lease an apartment, packing my belongings into my truck bed. I find I can keep almost 2/3rds of my stipend this way. And my apartment is fully furnished with my own belongings. I travel...

    emb92250 replied to klawrence08's topic in Travel

    I can't attest to the kids part, but I had a travel position in Texas for 3 months. I was in Fort Worth Texas in Baylor All Saints ICU. It was great. My take home pay, including all stipends and with...

  22. How do travel nurse interviews differ from "normal" ones?

    emb92250 replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in Travel

    I agree, in most travel interviews, the manager has already looked closely at your resume and believe you would work well in the unit. Therefore, unless you royally screw up an interview question, the...

  23. How do travel nurse interviews differ from "normal" ones?

    emb92250 replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in Travel

    6-7:1 is the norm for Acute Care in the rest of the US. California is pretty posh when it comes to working conditions. A lot of travelers travel to Cali because of this. Step down units are likely to...

  24. Questions regarding Travel Nursing

    emb92250 replied to geminiBSN75's topic in Travel

    I wouldn't go with a company just because it's local. It's not like you will be in their office at any time. You fill out most of your paperwork online and fax or mail hardcopies back to them (such as...

    emb92250 replied to emb92250's topic in Travel
