  2. Travel Agency

    miam replied to snellison8's topic in Travel

    You can't expect other nurses to spoon feed you specific information. You have to be willing to get on the phone and do your homework. And if the assignment does not work out then learn from it and...

  3. Unemployment Insurance Benefits

    miam replied to briantroy's topic in Travel

    If you are signed up with several agencies then you should have work. That being said I don't know if travel nursing is for those extremely "picky". How do you know you don't lime a area until you...

  4. Do you make your own schedule?

    miam replied to ASHRN828's topic in Travel

    She may have been on the rude side but she was right. We are there to fill in the needs they have and very often it may not seem fair. But not very often do we get treated like staff. A lot worse then...

  5. Future traveler needing friendly advice

    miam replied to ORRN1989's topic in Travel

    I don't think it would be wise to start traveling thinking you are going to have to make a lot of extra money to pay back loans. What if you are at an assignment and they cancel you 2 weeks into a 13...

  8. Is traveling REALLY all that AND SOME???!!

    miam replied to NurseLizabeeRN's topic in Travel

    You would want to drive so that you could have a vehicle to explore with. Unless you rent a car, and that would be something you pay for, not the agency and quite

  9. Licensure question

    miam replied to taggart84's topic in Travel

  11. Hotel Accomadations for Travelers

    miam replied to jnh911's topic in Travel

    i have done this at comfort inns, they have let check in as early as 7 a. They are pretty basic, but for 36 hrs all you really need is a clean bed, a microwave, and a fridge. It works.

  12. Per diem to Traveler - Is this allowed?

    miam replied to liser79's topic in Travel

    why would you say travel nursing is not full time? Most of us ask for guaranteed 36 hour weeks in our contract, which is always considered full

  13. Travel Nurse Buddy

    miam replied to jskgx2's topic in Travel

  17. Travel nursing information

    miam replied to nikkidrn's topic in Travel

    just a couple things that you may be confused about. Number one, if i choose to not take company housing i do not get reimbursed for the housing i find on my own. I can take the housing stipend that...

  18. Overweight travel nurses!!

    miam replied to namroRN's topic in Travel

    Anyway, what i am trying to say is that good or bad, i have found that there have been alot of scary nerve wracking things that always come up , but as long as you know you are healthy and know ahead...

  19. Overweight travel nurses!!

    miam replied to namroRN's topic in Travel

    I am sure you will do fine, but i am curious to why you would even be concerned? I dont think i do much different physical wise as a traveler as i did before. I am on a different spectrum from you,...

  20. Pay rates vs staff rates

    miam replied to travelnursebeth's topic in Travel

  22. Why do hospitals hire travellers?

    miam replied to mlbluvr's topic in Travel

    By the way, the "stewardess" comment. Pretty sure this was insulting to them as well. If you think they have a cush job think again. pretty much another thankless job that if most people had to do...

  23. Why do hospitals hire travellers?

    miam replied to mlbluvr's topic in Travel

    To mlbluvr: After reading this thread it seems like you are less on this site to gain information as you are to antagonize us travelers by making silly assumptions. To reasearch something you should...

  24. Epic eMAR conversions

    miam replied to KateMollenkopf's topic in Travel

    they are usually looking for nurses who have epic experience while their nurses get through training, and then sometimes for awhile after they go live. Otherwise it is the same as any other travel...

  25. Best travel nurse agencies

    miam replied to agatka's topic in Travel

    20 dollars in california? Thats nuts. No way would i talk to any agency who was offering less then mid 30s, then negotiate your overtime pay. And housing is going to cost al least 2000 ( low end), so...
