    Don't understand take home pay

    perfexion replied to godbless-yute's topic in Travel

    I heard about a travel nurse who habitually broke her contract and now no one will hire her so I'm assuming there is a blacklist of some sort. A lot of the agencies are a part of parent

    perfexion replied to godbless-yute's topic in Travel

    Difficult assignment

    I just took an assignment in a high risk labor and delivery unit. I've done high risk before but never like this. I should've known something was wrong when two other travelers who started with me...

    breaking a travel contract?

    perfexion replied to ceccia's topic in Travel

    I worked with a traveler who says she breaks contracts all the time. She only worked 2 days in her last assignment. She didn't like the vibe so she quit. She didn't finish her last three contracts....

    perfexion replied to llb_rn's topic in Travel

    Should I tell my agencies about each other?

    perfexion posted a topic in Travel

    I am signed up with two different agencies. Should I tell them about each other or is that like cheating? Are they in competition or is it common to have more than one

    Travel Nurse Patient Assignment

    perfexion replied to Soliloquy's topic in Travel

    I agree. It depends. I'm on my second assignment. At first assignment (ever) they gave me not so complicated cases because I didn't know the ins and outs of the unit itself. Like, if a patient...

    My patient dropped her baby!

    perfexion replied to perfexion's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not sure. I'm a traveler and this never happened to me when I was staff. I've since made it a point to not let my post op patients be alone with their babies if they're alone but now I have the...

    perfexion replied to Cpf9's topic in Travel

    I'm with an agency now that does not provide housing at all, just stipends. I asked them for help finding housing and they gave me a link to Craigslist. Other than that I have no idea where to begin....

    perfexion replied to perfexion's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Luckily I don't work here. I'm a traveler. And I'm an L& D traveler at that! The staffing is really bad at this hospital. There are only 2 postpartum nurses for an 18 bed unit during the day....
