I am ready to hit the road as a travel nurse in the field of Case Management. I am working with a recruiter at American Mobile and looking at TX, AZ, and NM (compact states). Any other Case Managers care to team up on travel assignments?

What is the new grad rate?

Greetings [COLOR=#003366]Joe NightingMale, Clever name! I took the CCM exam today and passed. More and more employers are seeking CCM certification and BSN degree for case management positions. My hospital provides free access to the site "CE Direct...

I'm considering travel nursing and will not have a tax home nor do I plan to "arrange" a tax home. Are the taxes on the housing, etc provided by the agency really that bad? Will I end up owing more in taxes than the money I bring home?? I'm not looki...

Hey fellow students. I'm applying for the online May 2014 start date as well. Just waiting for transcripts to arrive at UTA at this point. A few years ago I enrolled and started the first part of Chamberlain's online RN-to-BSN. It was ok, heavy on t...

I can't believe the prices go that high! The highest I've talked to so far are; Kaplan $27/28K, Phoenix $32k, and South $33k. I understand that an online program can be easier to complete and is intended for working adults - but these prices are unre...

funny - AND agreed!

Howdy yrmajesty3: Yes, I am currently working as a Nurse Case Manager for a contract provider of case management services to Medicaid patients. I kindof lucked into this position! My background is hospital ICU and Home Health. My employer especiall...

Howdy ALL, I too have been reading my eye balls out researching RN to BSN online programs. I have decided to go with the Chamberlain online program because the program is accredited by both the NLN and CCNE. During my research I looked at the TOP lo...

Ive been out of nursing school 2 years now and I have bounced between countless jobs. ICU, NICU, med/surg, home health, and different hospitals. Sometimes I feel so strongly that I REALLY dont like nursing, but its so hard to look past the flexible h...

Sure HH nursing can be full time. I am full time and make much more than any hospital job I had, plus there's NO nights or weekends in HH. Being able to support an entire family though would depend on your budget and spending habits. As far as fillin...

Lost in America, I hope youre still not lost. Any who... I recently started in home health and LOVE it! It is so different, but SO much better too. My background is NICU, yes, Babies. However the branch manager said she was impressed by my excitement...

After working in the hospital ICU's for 2 years, I am ready for a change! Ive been researching HH nursing and reading a lot on this forum, and I feel this will be a good fit for me! Plus the rates Ive been offered for the pay per visit schedule are g...

You have much more experience under your belt than me, but I felt the exact same way with my first assignment. It was scary that I had signed a hard core contract and that I would be stuck at this new hospital for 13 weeks. Will I like it? Will the o...

I also interviewed with a home health company and was given similar info. I was offered a base hourly rate for 40 hours a week while Im in training, to include computer classes, paperwork orientation, and following another HH nurse for awhile. Once ...

I had the exact same problem when I applied for travel positions! After I had trouble getting my nurse manager to give a ref, the travel recruiter said I could use anyone in a supervisory role; charge nurse, preceptor, etc. It also helped if I very k...

I am a Senior nursing student (ADN program) and have my heart set on the ICU. What can I do to enhance my chance of being hired into an ICU unit?

Thanks for the reply! Initially my family urged me into nursing because I am a bright student and caring person. I liked nursing school and felt I could have an impact on a persons life through a respectable career. I knew in school I didnt like med/...

Ive accepted a travel position at CJW for $25/hr nights. Is this pay in range and how is the hospital CJW? Thanks SO much!!

I apologize for being so needy, but Im in a bind. I have accepted a position and signed a contract to start next Wednessday. BUT I just got an offer from another travel company for the area I REALLY want. Can I back out of the 1st contract, since I...

Thank you for your response. However Id like to give a little more info. My background is NICU (neonatal), but the first company didnt have many NICU positions, so I almost felt pressured into taking a Telemetry position. I have NOT worked telemetr...

Hi, I am about to begin my first assignment as a traveler in VA. I will be on a med/surg tele unit. I am in my early 20s and really want to get out and do/see things. Question: Are staff usually open or closed to having the traveler tag along for so...

I've accepted my first contract on Telemetry in Richmond, VA. The pay is only $25 an hour. That's less than I made at home as a staff nurse. And I have seen that my assigned hospital pays per diem nurses WAY more and that my particular unit is posted...

I have taken my first nursing job at a community hospital general ICU. I intend to move on to larger hospitals as soon as possible as there are numerous academic and trauma centers around. Question: how much experience do I need to get hired in bigge...
