Thank you for your reply! I'm sorry if this is late, I didn't realize that there were any responses. We traveled for years in the past, but always had a tax home. Your info helps a lot! We spoke with one recruiter who was great, and straight-forward about pay without a home base. And we talked to a recruiter who literally said that we "have to have a tax home" for him to give us any pay rates at all.He also said he was going to follow up via email, and he didn't do that either. We're still irked. Unfortunately, the location we want is a bit obscure, and that guy is the one who has the location we want. ? Thank you again! I think we'll likely look for a tax base.

Hello everyone! I'm hoping for a bit of help! We were thinking of starting to travel nurse again, and we've been calling one or two companies for info, and to see how things are done now. My husband has been trying to find out what hourly rates are without a home base. We were told by one recruiter that it doesn't even pay to travel without a home base for taxes, and another recruiter was for some reason unable to comprehend what my husband was even saying! Finally, my husband just gave up out of sheer frustration! Can anyone please tell me if this is true? Does it not pay to travel unless we rent/own a home base? Thank you for any and all assistance! ?

IMO, I'd follow the chain of command with this situation, for your own protection and job security. You never know how people might react when confronted with a sensitive issue like this, plus there's the possibility of a he said/she said situation.

THIS!

My husband and I are both RN's, so I'm familiar with how his coworkers are mostly female. Taking everything into account, this is a marriage issue. I'm not sure if the above quote means you have no intention of catering to your wife's concerns. If that's what you mean, then I think you're in the wrong. Your wife and her concerns should always come before your coworkers, and even more so because I assume this is happening at the home that belongs to you both. And, FTR, my husband has repeatedly been the subject of sexual harassment, and I've witnessed it also, from coworkers who supposedly were "innocent".

I agree with this 100%. In all my years at various hospitals, having an RN license and years of experience determined my pay. ADN and BSN nurses receive/received equal pay.

IMHO, this isn't going to go well for you, BUT, I couldn't live with myself if I didn't report it. There is a difference between a bad report, and no report, and you essentially got no report. I've been a nurse for a long time in various units, and I would be livid if I were you. She abandoned this patient - the patient literally did not have a nurse at one point. I would report this to whoever I needed to until something proactive was done. Good luck!

My husband is an RN, and he's been on the receiving end of MANY female RN's giving him backrubs, etc, and it makes him extremely uncomfortable. This doesn't only happen to women. He now makes it widely known that he doesn't want to be touched by anyone, for any reason. And also that he's happily married. I've witnessed the harassment he's endured from others before they realized I was his wife, and it boggles my mind that people think this behavior is appropriate.

My husband has been an RN for 22 years, has worked almost every specialty in the hospital (right now he only works critical care units, PACU and the ED), and he's been nagged to be a charge for years. He HATES charge. He prefers to take care of his patients, help other staff out when needed, and go home.

Congratulations! Was it difficult to find a job? How did you write your resume and get the attention of the hiring manager, if you don't mind me asking? I have a friend in a similar position who wants to return to work.

"Do you look up the push rate for IVP meds?" Yes.

I'm sorry, but this is hilarious!

In my experience, the exact opposite is true.
