Travel Nurse Buddy

RNWhit07 · Jul 11, 2012

ERRNinMI, did you get my PM message. I would love some input on your experience in Rancho Mirage. I am going to start traveling in January, and I have had my eyes on going there. I have a friend that travel nurses there a lot. I am in ICU. I am going to start the process of obtaining Cali license soon...and applying to agencies.. Which agency did you go thru for this job and did you enjoy the area? thanks in advance.

I am looking to head to Cali sometime in September. I am hoping for something on the coast...either near LA/SD...or SF. I am 28/f...specialty is ER.

Hi I have been a traveler for 8 years and mainly just for CA and HI...would love to meet new traveling buddies. All of my friends are travelers and it has been such a wonderful experience. Hope to see you ladies here in L.A and San Fran.

Hey! I am planning on going to California as well! I am 26/f and my specialty is ER. Do you know how much experience is typically required for ER travel nurses? I wont probably travel until early next year, but I would love a travel buddy!

Hi all!I'm currently on assignment in the LA area and would LOVE to meet other travelers near by. I am with my fiancee and doggie but they don't like to hang out with me everyday (lol) Anyways it would be fun to explore the city and surrounding area with people my age. Let me know!

Hello I am 25 from Ohio. A friend and myself are planning to start travel nursing in mid September as well! The company were using encourages starting in Cali. Last i heard our chances Are Standford medical center or in LA. We should try to go to same city!! My major fear is leaving && not knowing people!! Email me! [email protected]

Ladies the joy of traveling is that you will all meet plenty of new people. If your new facility has other travelers which is usually the case, you will definitely find each other. Travelers tend to flock towards each other. If you travel to a large hospital the orientation is usually a 2-5 days of classroom and there you will find each other. Good luck and safe traveling.

Hello all,

I plan to start traveling in June 2013 and would love to go to California. Any recruiter or agency recommendations? I will be traveling with my hubby and lab. I lived in San Diego for 7 years before returning to Ohio and would love to get assignments all up and down the coast. What is the average weekly take home for Tele nurses each with without a tax home? Trying to decide if I should keep a rental here in Ohio.

Thanks for any input you can offer.

I haven't started traveling yet because I'm looking for a good agency. But a definite con for me is the possibility of being lonely going somewhere by yourself. I didn't know strangers traveled together. Has anyone on here actually done that and it didn't go well? Or went really well? Share your knowledge with me! :)
