  1. "Easy" LPN jobs

    Brownms46 replied to remrimsgems's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have worked as an LPN for almost 30 years, and I finally found the perfect job for me. I am employed as a Enterprise Application Analyst for a major hospital system, working Mon - Fri, with one...

    Wow, I thought I was the only one who thought

  5. ? obligation to travel company

    Brownms46 replied to reeree30's topic in Travel

    I will again say this, only because I seen it done all too many times. Traveler gets a contract, but does not sign it. Arrives at the assignment, moves into the apt., goes to the hospital, and...

  6. Does this sound fair to any of you?

    Brownms46 replied to fergus51's topic in Travel

    Well, I am glad it worked out. The best thing in any situation, is to really check out the recruiter, just as well as the agency, and the assignment. And I agree with canoehead, I would have just...

  7. ? obligation to travel company

    Brownms46 replied to reeree30's topic in Travel

    I agree with everyone else here, and I do not believe this agency leased a place for you already, so far in advance. If they did, without a signed contract, they are just plain dense! No recruiter...

  8. multiple travel co. apps

    Brownms46 replied to mimirn12's topic in Travel

    Yes, many agencies do have the same jobs, as every other agency! A hospital will send out needs lists to every agency they have a contract with, and it could be as many as FIFTY or more! Even small...

  9. Does this sound fair to any of you?

    Brownms46 replied to fergus51's topic in Travel

    Sorry fegus, did know from your original post, that your niece was the person that had this happen to, or that they had left home already. Of the agency should have put them up at that point....

  11. I have a few question about travel nursing!

    Brownms46 replied to BuddyGwen's topic in Travel

    Thanks IdahoNurse, and I agree with every word you have written! And as for experience, two years is becoming the maxium unless the hospital is desperate, and not getting submissions from nurses with...

  12. Does this sound fair to any of you?

    Brownms46 replied to fergus51's topic in Travel

    The hospital tells the agency, we want this nurse, and then the agency signs the nurse to the contract, for that particular hospital. If the hospital doesn't want the nurse, then there is no...

  13. Renewals

    Brownms46 replied to mtravlinlight's topic in Travel

    Many states now allow renewal online, and I would not keep any license current, unless it was my state of residence, or a compact state license. This way, when you take an assignment, you can have...

  14. Does this sound fair to any of you?

    Brownms46 replied to fergus51's topic in Travel

    The agency can't hold the hospital to anything, because the hospital can cancel the contract with notice in most cases. The hospital can easily cancel the contract period, and get another traveler....

  15. Would they work with me & my husband?

    Brownms46 replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Travel

    First, by the time you are ready to travel, there could be a whole lot of changes in the Travel Business. What any agency does today, could and probably will be very different in about 4yrs. First, I...

  16. Am I Getting a Bad Deal?!?!?

    Brownms46 replied to oneyearrn's topic in Travel

    There are many who have no idea how the "Tax Advantage" works, too agencies or recruiters who give it, and do it wrong. The IRS allows you to take what is called "per diem", when you are working away...

  17. Travel pay is SO confusing!

    Brownms46 replied to mimirn12's topic in Travel

    First, if you are entering Travel Nursing just to make money, you maybe in for a dissappointment. And whether you get a bonus or not on an assignment, has nothing to do with whether it is days nor...

  18. Husband of travel RN with a few questions

    Brownms46 replied to Mainenikki's topic in Travel

    The suggestion is that was made here, as the answer given is not entirely correct. There are states, such as Virginia, that base your state income tax on the amount of your Federal Income. Meaning,...

    Brownms46 replied to BuddyGwen's topic in Travel

    Hi every one! I'm a BSN student nurse. I am very interested in travel nursing, I love seeing new places! When you go on an assignment do you bring your car? How do you get to the hospital? Does the...

  22. Need More Info On Agencies

    Brownms46 replied to gerianne75460's topic in Travel

    It depends on the hospital/facility whether or not they will take a new RN, and YES there are new RN, or RN who have not worked in a long time, who have been hired by facilities. Just depends on your...

    Brownms46 replied to Nyna's topic in Florida Nursing

    There are many courses out there online and off. I would first start with your local community college. You can also do a online search. I found this on just one search:...

    Brownms46 replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    NO! I would NOT want to remember my father or mother that

  25. Family in room during a resusitation?

    Brownms46 replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    I don't think it's appropriate, nor do I believe you can ever know if someone is really "prepared"! And many times there are too dang many families in the room for you to adequately take care of the...
