Suzanne, I'm amazed by you. You are all over this forum and you seem to have a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge: general travel nursing in the US, travel nursing internationally, what to expect from an agency, and apparently also acting as an independant contractor? Thanks for all your great posts. I hope you're getting some kind of revenue share from allnurses.com! :chuckle But on to my question... You mention here that you perform an upgrade to your basic cable television and add cable internet service. What is that like? You contact the cable company directly and have them upgrade service? Or do you ask your agency to have that in place for you? Is that upgrade typically in place and ready to go as soon as you arrive? Thanks, xcpmarch
