Entravel

@Isthompson19 ??For you! They have a pretty fast turn around time, about 2-3 weeks. So hopefully you’ll find out soon.

Agreed! It would be great to meet more students and develop a support network.

Congratulations!! I also got accepted into the FNP cohort for the summer. Very excited! I know several people who went through the CNM track and they have nothing but positive things to say about the program.

I currently travel with my spouse and child. I switched to a different agency which actually has a small focus on assisting traveling families as well. It has been a good experience thus far. Second assignment with them. I hope to go I.C. eventually ...

The one I'm currently with is called HARTRA. Smaller agency but that's why I like them. So far so good on 7th assignment.

Psych related: A agree that with the specialty of psych I would start with a larger agency to have more options and get your foot in the door and travel experience under you belt. Work with multiple agencies (at least 3) to keep your options open. C...

My three large pieces of advice would be: 1. Get 2 years of experience 2. Specialize, specialize, specialize (like the previous poster mentioned; L&D, OR, ER, ICU preferably) 3. Remain flexible (marriage, kids, animals, etc.) You can still travel...

Yes it counts as a cancel. I've been cancelled and it doesn't matter how long it was; 4hrs, 8hrs or 12hrs, it was counted as a cancel. It was pretty normal and typical for them not to give any notice but a few hours before the shift starts. I work in...

I agree with Ned that you may get yourself into a legal pickle here. My best advice to you would be to "keep it simple." Forget the housing, get out of the hotel, go into an extended stay where everything is included to give yourself a piece of mind,...

1. I personally don't solicit for companies (Free advertising) on public forums. I may mention some for explanation purposes but not recommendations. My PM box is always open though. By far the best companies are going to have the most personable and...

Wanting to start on a medical floor regardless of what you want to do in nursing is admirable, but the depth of nursing is so broad that if you know where you want to go and what you want to do it's not worth it in this day in age. (This is coming fr...

Hmm..It's hard for me to say specifically with CA pay because my sepciality isn't ER and I haven't been to CA yet. At first glance though it looks ok. I have worked with TNAA in the past and they treated me well and their pay was competitive, with th...

I haven't worked for Staffing Med or heard any reviews on them (which may be a good thing), but I personally like working with agenices that are detailed and transparent as possible. I may be biased because I've only worked with two in the last year ...

First off, welcome to the prospect of travel nursing! 2k to have as a tax home is a bit steep to travel away and still be responsible for. My first few contracts I maintained a tax home for a little over 1k after all expenses and that was tight. I do...

Welcome to Travel Nursing! There are tons of great information out there about Travel Nursing. My biggest bit of advice would be to be flexible and have fun (both professionally and personally)! You'll love it :)

Comparing compensation packages, especially for similar areas of work and specialty are great starting points to educating ourselves about the traveling industry. But like NedRN stated, there is more depth to this industry than what we see as on our...

Like Ned said, ACLS you can get anywhere anytime. A decent agency might even reimburse you or pay for you to get it while you are traveling. As far as circulating, I travel in OB and recently did an assignment on an LDRP unit in a smaller hospital an...

All agencies should be up front about pay and you should feel confident to ask them any questions you need too. I've found the most transparent agencies are the best to work with, meaning, the more open they are about sending you information about th...

I've worked for a mid-sized company that subcontracted with AMN. My recruiter and the agency were great but AMN didn't have their end together (like me showing up and them not expecting me for another 2 weeks). I've also heard bad reviews from other...

Interested to see who decided or is deciding to continue their education in Nursing education, which path did you choose to take, why and what program are you in or looking at? I'm currently in an MSNed program and looking ahead to see if I want to d...

I figured since it's always easy to point out the negatives about things (everything has a negative to it no matter what it is), example for nurse educators being pay as the primary factor, let's point out one positive thing that you like most about ...

Congratulations to BOTH of you guys!! Awesome! I hope this encourages more people going into Nursing education. I hope to be in you alls position in another 3-4 years =)

What klone said is correct. ' I personally would just go for the BSN alone if I was interested in becoming a nurse practitioner (which I'm not, currently getting MSNed from WGU). Also keep in mind that if APN is your goal that WGU may not be the scho...

To answer your questions: 1. The classes are all online (excluding practicums). 2. Lots of papers, projects and tests (which you can either take at a testing center or they will send you a webcam to take at home) Not many forums or discussions and n...

I agree with the other posts and want to add that; I first do not think you are crazy for wanting to pursue this degree and second, I strongly disagree that people do not respect this profession. I find quite the opposite. There are a lot of various ...
