  1. Here's my situation. I resigned from a new graduate program after 3 months because it was overwhelming to me, wasn't the specialty I originally wanted to be with, and because I had trouble "catching...
  2. I would like to know if anyone has any information on how to become a travel nurse who works in London. I have met a large number of travel nurses in the hospital I currently work in and would like...
  3. I'm wondering how I can go about contracting myself out for a temporary travel assignment to a specific hospital. Does anyone have any information on this. There is a strike coming up at a hospital,...
  4. Contracting yourself out independently as travel nurse

    I really appreciate your response. I agree regarding the strike, I wasn't particular seeking out a strike but felt it may be a short term opportunity that would allow me to test out said theory. I'm...
  5. Travel Nursing to London and/or Africa

    If I am understanding you correctly it's illegal to do work even remotely from the UK? So if I had a business and traveled to the UK and worked online on a (web-site for example) for my business...
  6. Travel Nursing to London and/or Africa

    Thanks for your information. I'm from Northern California, wages there are excellent compared to anywhere else in the US I believe. I've looked into tax homes and was once very interested in local...
  7. Travel Nursing to London and/or Africa

    What a nightmare! And she is married to an Australian? She doesn't automatically get citizenship? lol. Perhaps travel, without the intent of working as a nurse in said country is my best bet. Then...

    I certainly will! Thanks for the
  9. Travel Nursing to London and/or Africa

    Holy cow! You were not joking, that is expensive. I figured I'd be okay because I am used to throwing my money away on clothes LOL. And 55% pass rates...how comforting. Appreciate the realism,...

    Thankyou so much! Realize I should have been hitting "quote" and not just
  11. Travel Nursing to London and/or Africa

    That's very interesting and I appreciate your recommendation! I've heard of boat/ship nursing before and never really cared much for it but this is definitely an opportunity! When you say faith...
  12. Travel Nursing to London and/or Africa

    Wow, your insight has been very helpful. It's unfortunate that international travelling to the UK is dwindling. I'm sure the UK has per diem positioning? Maybe that'd be my best bet, however if...

    CharleeFoxtrot, ADN FYI I am of Nigerian decent and 95% of my family currently live in Nigeria. I have been there twice and I am well aware of the dangers of Nigeria. From my parents, I was informed...

    Coffee Nurse, BSN, RN Thankyou so much for your helpful insight. I'm having a hard time finding any existing agencies out there but will continue to research. I do have an aunt in the medical field...
  15. Travel Nursing to London and/or Africa

    Thankyou so
  16. I've heard about nurses working for insurance companies! I just don't know exactly what they do and how much experience that they need. Do you look over charts to evaluate medical need, or pay?? If...
  17. Crazy that I can't call myself a new graduate anymore; however, I am certainly not the most experienced. I've been a bedside RN for about 2 years now. I've been primarily working on a busy...
  18. I have a little bit of experience in LTC. Didn't realize that there was much room for upward motility. I think that's absolutely amazing that you were able move around, move up, and essentially...
  19. Flatline, that's absolutely amazing and I appreciate your insight! I've heard of PICC line nurses before but never knew about the world of infusion therapy. That sounds really interesting. I also...
  20. What is your dream job?

    I'd like to create a medical invention. Either free-lance or working with a medical device company. I would only go bedside to research if the product was effective in the clinical setting or to see...
  21. This is a random and not necessarily a nursing related question... I'm a relatively new RN and just about have a year of experience on my belt and finally realized that I can afford laser hair removal...
  22. I appreciate your insight and perspective! I'm aware of at home laser products but I'm nearly 100% positive that that won't work for me. (I'm not the most ideal candidate for treatment), so I...
  23. Hi all! So I am relatively a new graduate (3 months prior experience) before landing a job at a SNF. I have only been there for a week and although I was told during the interview that I would be...
  24. I used to be in a New graduate program and a pretty prestigious hospital with shifts from 7-730. My first day on the floor I stayed until 10:30 pm, second day until 11 pm and mind you I was almost...
  25. I can honestly say that I stayed late almost every day. Only the handful of times that I was with another preceptor did I go home ontime. (And this is when I finished my work/all the work on time)....
