The posts I've found seem to be started years earlier. So anyone know the going rates for a staff RN with 2 years of RN experience med-surg/med-tele (and 4 years LPN experiece med-surg)? I have a prospective place in mind, but I don't want to low-b...

My first contract will be up at the end of March. I'm hoping *crosses fingers* to go to Texas next. I'd like to focus in on the Austin and San Antonio areas, but I'd go to Houston or Dallas if need be. (I'm tele or med/surg) 1) Anyone travel to t...

So, I've been traveling since January now. Previous to traveling I was working med/tele in a 100 bed hospital on a 24 bed unit. I was used to taking up to 6 pts when I was just straight med-surg and 5 on med/tele. My first contract was med/tele at...

Bout to finish my first contract and looking for my next. My main focus was for the Austin or San Antonio areas.... I know I need to be a little more broad than that when looking, so I decided to look in Texas and Arizona. When I was thinking TX, I...

I went ahead and declined it. I was just feeling a little pressured to take it since I had told them to submit me there. Did just interview for a job on the coast in Cali so hopefully I'll hear some good news on Monday and the license process won't...

I think new grad positions are harder to come by. When I worked at Saint Lukes East Lee's Summit, I was called for an interview within days (but I wasn't applying as a new grad). A lot of times with those specialty units, you need to get your foot ...

I guess I'll need to talk to a tax professional, but reading posts has me a bit scared as far as the housing stipend goes.... I was always under the impression that there was more money in traveling. It's not the only reason but I have a lot of stu...

So my sister and I are planning to travel together come January. We want to go south and work nights. One company is really on the ball...in constant contact trying to get us an assignment...just not where we want (Someone called us about Minot, ND...

Yea that's what I hear. That's why the agency is trying to get us out before January. We basically are both med surg but I have Tele experience too . We're going to give it this week to see if anything pops up. If not we're going to take whatever...

We are signed up with several agencies already. I've been trying to find agencies based in Texas or that staff a lot in Texas but having no luck yet.

I'm looking for my first contract and wanting to go to Texas, as well. If you hear of any companies that have alot of opportunities there, let me know. Thanks and good luck!

My bills already go to my parents house and they will continue to go there while I'm traveling.

Hmm...confusing. I was reading the tax link from above and says if you don't have a regular place of business then your tax home can be the place you regularly live. If I regularly live with my parents, why doesn't that count? I could pay them a l...

So what if I take the housing that they provide instead of the stipend. Will I get taxed for that down the road, too, if I don't have a tax home?

I've been wanting to travel for the last 4 years, and I'm finally at a place where I can take the plunge. My sister and I are wanting to travel together. Anyone have experience traveling as a team? Will it be hard for us to get contracts together?

We're both med-surg. I'm med-surg with emphasis on the medical. And I've been med tele the last 6 months. She's med-surg with emphasis on the surgical. Arizona is actually one if the places we're wanting to go, but as long as we get contracts we'...

I have 1.5 years experience as an RN and 4 years experience as an LPN in med-surg and tele but I'd really like to get away from floor nursing to have something closer to a day M-F type job without taking a pay cut (I'm 12 hr nights now)...any ideas?...

I have been working acute care for the past 4.5 years (RN 1.5 yrs, LPN 3 yrs), did 8 months as an LPN charge nurse at an LTC facility, and a year a as CNA at LTC. Working 12 hour nights for the last 4.5 years is wearing me down...especially when I ...

Oh I guess I didn't say that ...I want to get away from floor nursing. It sucks the life out of me. I'm wondering what supervisor at a nursing home or dialysis nurse would make. I really love the geriatric population. Then I'm wondering what nurs...

Currently an ADN telemetry nurse looking into nursing informatics. Which road would be better to take? 1) Get my Bachelor of Nursing then Master of Nursing Informatics or 2) Go for Master of Health Informatics (I already have a Bachelor of General S...

Thanks! The websites were really helpful. After thinking it over, I've decided continuing with my BSN is probably the best way to go. One reason I decided to go into nursing was because there are so many options available. There's no way of knowin...

I'm currently a nursing student in Missouri and want to move to California when I'm finished (specifically San Diego). I have a few years to go, but I'd like to have an idea of what to expect. About how much is the cost of living to live decently, ...

Wow...when I read through my posts about all the places I thought I would move to in the last 5 years, its kind of funny. :rotfl: This time I can actually say 100% that I'm moving to the Kansas City area in June-July this year! So, I'm just curious ...

I've never heard anything about a set nurse:patient ratio in Missouri.

Hi all! I'm about to graduate with my associate degree in May 2010. I'll likely stay at my current location, but am thinking of moving to the Springfield area. I'm curious about what hospitals are located in the area, how much their base pay is, h...
