  10. Travel Nursing After School

    dominiquejade replied to dominiquejade's topic in General Students

    I think most agencies PREFER 2 years experience, but many will take you on with just one. I think it mostly depends on your ability to adapt quickly to new environments and think on your feet. I bet...

  12. Debt for Nursing School

    dominiquejade replied to Karamia0x's topic in General Students

    I would reconsider the program you have in mind. My total nursing degree is costing me less then 10,000. Mind you, this is an ASN, and you're probably leaning more towards BSN, but it's something to...

  13. Is My Pay Really That Bad???

    dominiquejade replied to Nurse_Lightning's topic in Travel

    i would LOVE to hear more about how you got into nursing, your education, etc. The fact that you describe nursing as "just a job." I'm worried that this will be my experience but i don't feel as bad...

    Yeah, this is a common thing i hear from classmates. I have a S/O that i live with, but he has a minimum wage job and he isn't in school right now, so the extra pay would be nice for me, and i want a...

  16. Constant fighting amongst caregivers

    dominiquejade replied to Blackcat99's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    I'm a relief staff in a group home, working part time while in nursing school; i can empathize. The thing about group homes, is that you have a lot of (UAP) females working together, essentially all...

  17. Travel Nursing After School

    dominiquejade replied to dominiquejade's topic in General Students

    Absolutely! Or, you can look into doing "travel nursing" locally. Basically, you still get short term assignments with the option to extend, all the benefits through your agency (except maybe housing,...

    I want to do Alaska, Washington, Texas, and one random state that I wouldn't have picked off the top of my head, just haven't decided yet. I think I'm going to alternate between a normal company, and...

    dominiquejade replied to dominiquejade's topic in Travel

  21. take stipend, cheap hotel?

    dominiquejade posted a topic in Travel

    In most cases, is it more financially beneficial for someone who isn't picky about housing to take the stipend offered and stay in a cheap hotel? In terms of being able to pocket the remainder of the...

  23. take stipend, cheap hotel?

    dominiquejade replied to dominiquejade's topic in Travel

    Ah, of all options, i actually think this would be my least favorite. My time away from work is usually MUCH needed down time, and I don't think I would want to be living in a home with other

  24. take stipend, cheap hotel?

    dominiquejade replied to dominiquejade's topic in Travel

    I guess the problem is that i DO have a home where utilities are in my name and all of my "stuff" is, but i live in an apartment; the whole building is owned by family members, so I don't actually pay...
