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 move on. Travel nursing is a very individual experi...
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 have been? And it's only 13 weeks,then you move on.it...
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 that can happen as a traveler then getting a crap...
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 week assignment and you are out of work those 2 we...
Question: I am currently a travel nurse , am with several companies, have current RN clean license. My question is I do have a felony eluding on my background from a year ago. It wasn't a high speed chase of course, but I did not pull over soon enoug...
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 expensive.
I'm lucky, I have a compact license but since you do not pick 3 or 4 states that seem to have nursing jobs that you are interested in and want to visit and appapply for license when you can afford it. It will get expensive fast.
Hey. i am a travel nurse who currently holds a compact license. i applied for a cali license a couple weeks ago ( mid may) and requested a temp license because i know there is a issue on my background. i sent alot of documentation, but know it will p...
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. :)
with the travel industry still being pretty tight on jobs, and peoples experience being different, i think it would be very difficult for two nurses to try to arrange travel assignments together right now, but maybe not impossible. from my experience...
you might want to dit tight at your job for at least another year, maybe try to get some ER or ICU experience. you are going to have a really hard time trying to get a travel job right now ith such limited experience. Or at the very best you are goi...
jtmarcy12: dont hate me because i have a hard time gaining weight :). I do sympathize with people who are overweight, even though i have never completly understood it. Like i said, sometimes i get flack for being on the short side even though i cant...
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 is provided and be responsible for my own housing....
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 of time your physical limits ( if you have them) d...
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, i only weigh around 92 pounds, have never really ...
Your pay does sound a little low compared to what i have been making as med/surg tele , but it def makes on where you are at in the country. And i would not advise california if you think it is going to signifificantly make you more money. yes, you w...
i am with 6 agencies! and they always check with me when they get contracts for conversion projects. i would make sure i was with several agencies, you can always ask them about EMAR conversions and that you are interested. Also keep your eye open f...
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 it for two weeks they would run screaming.
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 go to multiple travel nurse sites and read what us...
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 assignment and can be fun because you usually team u...
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 you have to factor that in as well.
