i felt bad for our travel nurses they get heavier assignments because charge nurse think oh well they make more money than us. I always help travelling nurses coz without them i am stuck with 7 patients .

I’m currently on my first travel assignment as a Mother-Baby nurse. Surprisingly, on the unit there are more travel nurses than there are staff nurses. I live 101 miles from my assignment. I do my 3 shifts in a row and drive back home. I still have my PRN job at my local hospital. Travel nursing is a great way to expand your knowledge base, network, and make great money.

Great content-so true on travel nursing. My travel assignment paid off my student loan in 2017. My goal is to pay cash for a house-1/3 there 😬 thank you for info on negotiating

We’re very kind and fair to our travel nurses on my unit (medical Surgical icu). In general my unit is amazing and very team oriented. I’ll be leaving in one month to start travel nursing; I’ll miss my unit for sure.

I am not a travel nurse, but I am a new nurse. My unit used to be 100% COVID, and I have heard many nurses say that about travelers. I think it comes from a place of frustration. Many nurses felt like they were having to take on more patients and also got thrown into a patient population/work environment they didn't choose to be put in. I agree we should all be nice and respectful to travelers because we should be happy we have help!

Thank you for your clarification of these things. I have been a nurse for years and now looking into travel nursing.

I’m an LPN, I do local travel(2hrs away) on the weekends and my regular full time VA job M-F. I do get the heavier loads but like you said, travel don’t last always, it’s only 12hours, so it is what it is.

Another great video! Keep them coming

Thai was a great video for a newbie, tons of great tips! Thank you so much!

Great info. Thank you

This was really helpful!

Another great video as always 👍🏾👏🏾🤗 Grey Anatomy my favorite show

Also as a traveler cna, I have gotten the worst of the worst from staff. Because I'm making as much as the charge nurse. Regardless of the fact I bust my hump and work circles around them. But I think they are so frustrated because even if they wanted to many staff can't get into traveling unless willing to give up their current job completely. Some hospitals stipulate they wait a year before taking a contract with their current hospital. My only gripe now is it seems agencies are trying to phase out travel cnas. I know texas is closed to cna travel contracts. But Florida completely breached my contract: nights to days, float resources to covid medsurg, etc. And my recruiter folder like a 2 dollar lawn chair. So I signed up with another agency. So now I'm looking into moving to a zero income tax state with open cna travel contracts. But the mortgage info is huge!! I'll be checking for the prep video, if none, I'm definitely interested. I'm about to buy a home after this contract.

I spoke with a travel tax agent and the 50 mile is a myth. What the irs looks at is what you do after a shift, if you can drive home after a shift and drive to work the next time that's not a travel job. But if you have to sleep to be able to drive home safely and can't make it to work the next morning after a reasonable amount of sleep, then that's a travel job. My agent heavily stressed about how the 50 mile rule is a myth and I've spoke with a lot of travel nurses who've said the same. But it all depends on the irs audit I guess lol people have gotten away with worse

Great video!! I’m taking my first assignment in a couple weeks in Hawaii and you’ve been so helpful getting me prepared

Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing this girl! 🖤🖤

This video is so, so, helpful. Thank you so much I really appreciate it. Short video loaded with very important information. Thank you🙏🏾😍

I have noticed that I tend to get the harder assignments but I do stick up for myself and make sure that I get a fair load

Thank you for being straightforward. Can you tell about health insurance and pension benefits of travel nursing?

Don't forget when you get cancelled by the hospital you are working as a traveller when the hospital cancels you for the day you lose part of your stipend. I tried to pickup extra shifts and none were available if you are fortunate to find a extra shift must be in that pay period. I was never told this and feel new travelers should be aware this could happen.

Thanks for another informative video. Grey’s anatomy fan here.

Hi I just watch your KZfaq videos about travel nurse and I am not a travel nurse and I am not a nurse but i was thinking become a RN nurse and a travel nurse too and thank you for sharing your story I didnt not know that at all .thank you.

Very informative video I’m glad I saw this

I’m thinking about going to school to become a travel nurse thank you 🙏🏿 for this enlightening video…

I'm a student but I want to think about my career and learn more about these nursing field your video helps alot

Oh and also I caught myself trying to refinance my home and but my contact ended abruptly while in the middle of a contract and I could not provided the paystub for a certain time and had to pull out. Basically when you start a new assignment initiate the process after the first 4 weeks.

Thank u so much fr sharing this.

could you please do a video on ways to purchase a home as a travel nurse/ how to get approved from a loan? i’m an incoming nurse and also planning on investing in real estate and that would be super helpful!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about travel nursing. Could you make a VDO about tips on hospital charting/documentation. One reason I am concerned is that how easy/difficult is it to learn how to chart. Is there something that you can prepare ahead of time. Thanks on advance.

Thanks I appreciate the info...valuable!!! I subscribed

“It has to be 51 miles on the google” lol! You are super cute! Thank you for the great advice. I didn’t know about the house buying difficulties. Oof!

Im interested in the home buying video!

Thank u

Because I wanted to travel africa to become a travel nurse international

And I wanted to buy a home in africa and visit there too.so that the reason why

I’m new to your channel and loving it already. I stuck myself at a hospital for 20yrs straight from school. Got paid a penny for ICU work.. now NP, wanna go into travel nursing. Never got that Covid money, I should have though. Anxious!!!! Any tips for me?

Please make that video!! Please......

Bring the home video

Thanks

Thanks for the video very informational. I’m thinking about travel nursing but hesitant. My question is when working in different states how was the transportation and if you wanted to choose your own housing. How did you go about finding good areas?

I love that the stipend in not taxable! I don’t want the Government to dip their dirty hands in that too! Then I would bring home less! Please don’t say it the way you’re saying it. Let’s keep more on our pockets please. Thanks

I’ve been in labor and delivery for three years now w/ a ft & per diem position and really wanted to branch out to travel, however the difficultly travel nurses have proving their income to get a loan is holding me back because I really want to purchase my first home like neowww 😣

6:56 the way i always saw it as someone who doesn't travel yet is, these damn hospitals make enough to pay these travel nurse/tech pay, but refuse to give the regularly staffed techs/nurses a raise.

I’m just starting my first travel nurse job north but I’m in Canada. Im curious how it works here. What I know so far is my agency pays different rates based on how far you’re willing to work from home. Once you go a few hours away you make the max amount but if you stay within 40-60km you can have paid accommodations, however you make the minimum amount which is $10/hr CDN less then if you travel but even the minimum is far more then you’ll make directly from an LTC home or hospital. So far the only con seems to be the short contracts of 8 weeks but that also means the change to travel is high

I’d love a video tutorial about the home buying process

Is there any lpn traveler position .and how do you get compact license.

Anyone use a nanny/ babysitting service while bringing your kids on assignments? If so how did it go for you?

Im interested to know what you did to prepare to buy another property and qualify for another loan.

Main thing I worry about is getting floated to a specialty I'm not experienced in. I'm LTACH/stepdown. I don't know ED, ICU, L&D, OR, etc.

Thank you for this! Did you do a video on purchasing a second house?

Im almost making one year working in the ER. And I’m planning on doing travel once I make a year. I’m a bit nervous though because I feel like they are just going to throw me without orientation. My own ER is one of the busiest ERs in the country. And I’ve never done Peds ER. But they might make me work peds. I wonder if I’ll be able to handle it.

Grey’s Anatomy!!!

Quick question: how is house buying in Ga and what part of ga is good for family with boys! 11 and 17????

Great video! Great information! I have a very compassionate charge nurse on my travel assignment, so I get 4 days in a row on and I get to request my days off. Sometimes I get a day off In between several days on.

My taxable income is $75/hr.

Do you get benefits, or no, because it’s considered an independent contractor? (Not sure if it does fall under that category)

Where in Atlanta did you work? I live here looking at local travel now

The hospital I want to work at is EXACTLY 51 miles from my home.. does that count? How would I arrange that for a travel assignment?

Since you are trying to buy a house could you possibly put a larger down payment to get approved?

Hi sweetie, would you like to review our new product?

GREYS ANATOMY!!!

Hi. Thanks for the great video. I'm wondering if you can address the following. I am a provider of travel nurse housing. I'm trying to find travel nurse discussion groups on FB in order to have discussions with travel nurses to find out what type of things they look for when seeking furnished accommodations. However, most of the travel nurses groups I've been able to find on that site seem to limit this in one of two ways. First, if you are a landlord (not a travel nurse) you can only join groups allow posting of properties, but no general discussion or questions. Second, for the groups that do allow general discussion and questions, you must be a travel nurses. Do you know of any groups that allow non-travel nurses to join for the purpose of general discussion and questions with travel nurses?

In the beginning of the video, thanks for sharing that info, but we're not asking for otherwise. We don't need the gov to take more than they already have. I'm so glad it's not counted bcz we do spend in order to provide our service accross country; food, transportation, etc... Honestly, if that was the only issue, many of us won't mind, especially if it credit is good.there r also health professional loans. Ask your bank and Google.

Thank you so much for this informative video! I’m currently a junior in high school interested in this career. Can travel nurses work in clinics or other healthcare facilities instead of hospitals?

Great video. Btw the more you put down the less the banks care.

I’m junior in highschool and want to become nurse travel and my English isn’t that good are they gonna judge about my English idk in the future if I will know more ik now lol 😂

Interested in traveling but don’t have the C card…is this a deal breaker for agencies?
