once you apply for a position online, how long does it take for them to get in touch with you? ...should they decide to?

Guys, tell me the best places you've ever worked. The nicest people, the traveler friendly places. I need a new location.

Wolf - you're a world of knowledge. Orlando area -all of it is bad? Really wanted to go there.

Hi there! I can help, I think. I just got back from my first travel assignment. Great experience. SLC, UT -University of Utah Medical Center. Great place. I didn't do it for the pay -I did it b/c it was my first assignment, the manager was so nic...

where are you from? why CT? I am from LI, NY. You really cannot go wrong in CT, as far as people are concerned. I mean, I assume you are asking about 'safe' places to go -where people are helpful, ratios are safe... Danbury is definitely a grea...

How long have you been an RN in your specialty? I was only a nurse for one year prior to traveling -talk about skimpy resume! Why don't you contact a travel company and see what they say? They don't really use resumes anyhow. They have you fill ou...

O, I don't know. I am actually from LI -traveled for one assignment (to Utah) and just returned. My agency is trying to get me a local contract, and I am terrified of NYC hospitals! You may have just solidified my worries. I'll probably just skip...

ooops. sorry, you already mentioned it. Who are you with now?

omigoodness! I just finished my first travel assignment at the University of Utah Medical Center. I LOVED IT. Everyone -terribly nice. Did I meet you here? So Gallup, NM. I do MS. Think I would like it? Mind telling me your agency? Just want...

what if I hate this traveling? What if i cancel my assignment for no other reason except that I want to go home? (Not that I want to, I just want to know.)

Hello. I am a NY'er that just quit her job for agency work. I had an assignment with a start date -and it fell through. (Long story) However, now I am soon to be jobless! I have to laugh! I could stay where I am, and renig on my resignation, but...

I am on my first assignment, sitting in my new home -and getting pretty homesick. My first day is only tomorrow! Hopefully I adjust. I will keep you posted, and give any advice if I can.

Does this sound right? I interviewed with a travel company -got an offer to travel to FL for $23/hr???? I new to this. Am I being taken for a very long ride?

Hey there! Interested in keeping me posted on your decisions? I am soon to be a first time traveler -MS and thinking of NM or AZ. Very terrified! (I actually just quit my job -when my first assignment fell through! So now I am in a pickle, inqui...

hey, did you ever sign with them? if so -how is it going? where are you? I'm about to sign with them -for a contract in FL.

what does that mean 'experience doesn't make much difference'? I am getting ready to start traveling, and I am nervous as heck - nervous that I am getting in over my head. But I keep telling myself that you never know until you try!

...about to interview w/Davita...can anyone tell me what to expect? Anyone familiar with the hours? And does anyone know what it takes to travel with them? They have centers everywhere, if I train in one place is it possible to request to go OR for...

That's it. Just 9 months experience in Med/Surg and I've been recruited. It's very enticing. I've wanted to do travel nursing since I entered through the college doors. Should I do it? Or am I jumping the gun?

I love this website. You're all very helpful. I think I'll hang on to my current job for another few months, until I reach the year mark. Then possibly move into another hospital out-of-state for ~6mo-1yr...and then travel. How about that?

so funny -this entire thread is about moving into NYC, and I am looking for a way out! any specific questions, let me know. If you decide not to use the traveling option -you'll definitely have no problem finding a job on your own. There are vacan...

I've been an RN for 6 months and I desperately want to travel when I can meet the minimum requirements. To experienced travelers -if you're unfamiliar with your facility-how likely are mistakes? More likely or the same as working somewhere for a w...

Hello, Just wondering, what are the best hospitals to work for in the Miami/Ft.Lauderdale area? Best orientation, etc...

Hiya. I am in NY and just applied for FL licensure Jan 26. I did speak with one hospital that said that as long as I am licensed in another state -they could hire me as a 'RN Tech' until I received my paperwork. I just wondered where you planned o...

Thanks Jill. Very helpful. I have to look into the Spectrum Florida paper. Erika -the people on this site have been so helpful to me, and I want to be helpful to you -but I have no idea what LPN's get paid. I do know starting for RN's is anywhere b...

You're not there anymore? Where did you work? Any suggestions? Also, how long is a long commute? I live in the NY Metro area now. I can't imagine any commute longer than what I experience now!
