I did 2 EMR conversion assignments. One was for Epic and one was for Cerner. With Epic I took the classes with the staff and was there through go live and extended beyond that. I had no prior Epic experience and they still hired me because they wan...
I'm starting to get toward the end of my contract and I'm weighing my options as far as extending or potentially submitting to jobs in CO and UT. I've noticed that many of the hospitals in the areas that I want to go to are HCA/Parallon. I know the...

The hospital I am at is small (like 4 total nurses for night shift small, not including me) and there isn't anyone who has kids my daughters age. They have babies or teens and my daughter is 6. I think part of the problem is where we are. I'm hopi...
Hi all, I have constant questions. I hope I'm not posting too much. Anyway, I'm traveling with my husband and 6 year old daughter. My daughter has overall adjusted well and has started homeschool but I'm having issues finding friends for her. I ...
I'm from Pinehurst! :) My husband is not a nurse and stays home with our daughter. You could also save money by traveling local for a while. Not as fun though...
^^^Agree with what the others said. I was fortunate to have my husband with me so I wasn't alone but we trekked 1500 miles from small town NC to south TX. I LOVED driving and seeing all of the new places on the way...we even detoured a couple of ti...

Maybe I wasn't clear in my previous posts... I've lived in NC my entire life up until now in the same town. I do have a physician at home in NC and all of our family is there. This was our permanent home. My house was a house that I rented (not o...
I'm with Trinity and I LOVE them. I'm fairly new to traveling and I'm currently on my first assignment. I know quite a few other travelers that have used Trinity and they are very satisfied. No crazy religious stuff...I haven't heard anything abou...
Hi, I'm trying to buy private health insurance for my daughter. I'm so frustrated with this "Affordable Care Act". Travel agency health insurance is just too pricey for healthy people IMO. What is the best health insurance for travelers?? What d...

We might would qualify for CHIP but NC (where our tax home is based) doesn't have CHIP from my understanding. It has NC Health Choice, and we don't qualify.

I was looking at United Healthcare because I want an insurance that has a large network of physicians being that we are moving all over the country. From what they've told me, they don't do child only policies. UHC sent me to Coventry and they have...
