  1. Floating after 4 hours?

    nyck76 replied to rnjoy's topic in Travel

    Personally I don't like the idea of floating for 4 hours in a 12 because it makes you late to where ever you are going next. And when you get there that nurse is mad because they are late leaving,...

    nyck76 replied to meaton1421's topic in Travel

    nyck76 replied to jaycrue's topic in Travel

    I worked for them a year ago. From May 2003 to May 2004. I prefer not to work for a company that I have to demand things from. The job of being a nurse is stressful enough for that. It is good that...

    nyck76 replied to nursypoo's topic in Travel

    I worked with RN Network for 1 contract. They were nice, but their pay rates were lower than most and I didn't like their health insurance. But it was a pretty drama- free

  16. Getting to an assignment

    nyck76 replied to mac23's topic in Travel

    I personnally like flying to an assignment because I don't want to drag a car load of stuff in the car, nor do I want to put all the wear and tear on a car. My car is paid off and is sitting pretty in...
