  1. New Oncology CNA

    Trjl replied to secretsunflower's topic in Oncology

    If you are a nursing student, that alone will make you a good CNA. They are usually the best CNA's on the unit and we hate when you graduate (cause you can't help us any more). Just remember, you are...

  2. Oncology/Neurology

    Trjl replied to SE_BSN_RN's topic in Oncology

    Although I have not specifically worked neuro-oncology, I do know that you will mainly be working with brain tumor patients. Or patients who have had some CNS involvement. I would imagine that this...

  3. Considering Oncology Nursing

    Trjl replied to Morganbn's topic in Oncology

    I have been an oncology nurse a long time. I guess that many of us in oncology have lasted so long is because we feel we do make a difference in people's lives. But if I cried for every sad situation,...

  4. Guaranteed Hours

    Trjl replied to shortstuff52's topic in Travel

    I would say, before you sign on the dotted line, do the best you can to research that hospital and see how they treat their agency nurses and if you see an patterns of calling people off. I an...

  5. Stanford First Travel Assignment

    Trjl replied to DatMurse's topic in Travel

    At a year in Oncology, there is still much you have to see and learn. However, I think if you take an opportunity to ask questions at your new job and continue to study, being a Travel Nurse in...

  6. Maybe A Rant?.... Housing Frustrations

    Trjl replied to IbreakForBichons's topic in Travel

    When anyone wants to know what the biggest pain about Travel nursing is, housing comes to mind. I agree that the housing division at any travel company is a joke. They either set you up the the most...

  7. Snow bird nurses

    Trjl replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Travel

    South Florida from October to March/April is when the most travel nurses are hired. Being in the ER specialty, you will probably not have any problems getting a job. I will say, alot of times,...

  8. So many questions! First time traveling!

    Trjl replied to ckcana2's topic in Travel

    I lived not far from Orlando for many years, and I am guessing that Celebration would be a hard hospital to get a Travel job at. It is a fancy town and a fancy hospital. However, ICU is one of the...

  9. Can you get a "travel" assignment in your hometown?

    Trjl replied to Pebanj's topic in Travel

    Unless the rules have changed in the past year or 2, I believe to qualify for a travel position, you have to live 50 miles (don't quote me on that exact number) from where you are working. So I guess...

  10. Considering traveling, have some questions

    Trjl replied to texasrn91's topic in Travel

    I cannot totally speak to how they work with Travelers in the ER, but I can say, expect your first assignment or 2, to not be the best. So don't judge all of travel nursing on that. When you are new,...

  11. New traveler to Florida, contract advice

    Trjl replied to Emster83's topic in Travel

    I have worked a few med-surg (oncology) positions in Florida and I would say $28/hr for all is about right for med-surg. A larger hospital may do better, but I would not expect to go much over $30 in...

  12. Travel assignment to Duke University hospital...

    Trjl replied to Love1another's topic in Travel

    I know this is an old post, but thought I would drop a comment for anyone considering Duke in Durham. I am currently on assignment there and work out pt. I gather from what has been said, that they do...

  13. Travel nursing in Oncology

    Trjl replied to niknak25's topic in Oncology

    I see you wrote this a long time ago, but thought I would chime in. As you may already be aware, the W-S job that shows up is for Bowman Gray. Thankfully in the last year, more and more onc jobs have...

  14. Travel Nursing Companies

    Trjl replied to swilliams89's topic in Travel

    Highway Hypodermics have listings of Travel companies and ratings. As well as the top travel companies. Via the magazine Travel Nursing, I have seen top travel recruiters. My suggestion is to pick 5...

  15. Travel Nursing Advice

    Trjl replied to tjl41's topic in Travel

    Hello. I do agree with some of the others. You may need a little more time in nursing to get hired as a traveler. If you enjoy ER, you may find that you will get better pay and more opportunities as...
