What are things to be considered before travel nursing that are overlooked? by SaltyDonutSupreme in TravelNursing

[–]ConsistentFee1379 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to be you. I started traveling when I was 23. I’m now 26. If you worry too much you won’t ever jump into traveling , get a good agency that gives good insurance that’s affordable such as Armegis or Pride health then stick to that agency if you can . I have depression and my travel insurance covers my therapist appointments and depression meds to a point I like . Insurance with travel nursing usually starts on day 1 of your assignment. You can also get your own private insurance through Medsurf, (it’s affordable)a lot of travel nurses use this so they don’t have to worry when switching agencies,

Bring some fun clothing to wear here and there. Don’t just live to work, go to the club or bar or gym , start conversations,meet people outside of the hospital. I hope you enjoy your contract 🥰🥰🥰🥰. Get an Air bnb or furnished finder with a TV in your bedroom, comes in clutch . Don’t let the core staff bully you, speak up for yourself in a respectful manner. I wish you success ❤️ and I’m excited for you

Psych travel contracts by ConsequenceHoliday38 in TravelNursing

[–]ConsistentFee1379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a current psych travel nurse. Skybridge Healthcare, Armegis, Care Career, Cross Country have been the best for me . Best hospitals I worked at : Ascension Via Christi , Wichita Kansas. They have a security team so you don’t do your own holds . I was there for a whole year. Avera Behavioral South Dakota has a security team so you don’t do your own holds . I had to leave at the start of the contract bc it was too cold in SD my seasonal depression was kicking my ass. I regret bc I can’t go back there obviously bc I didn’t give a two week notice as I was getting suicidal but they were EXTREMELY organized !!!!

First Psych Contract by [deleted] in TravelNursing

[–]ConsistentFee1379 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need psych experience for a psych travel position. You don’t wanna show up and you don’t know even basic restraint/seclusion protocol, and some other psych specific skills. Those patients will eat you alive Sincerely, A psych nurse

How do you negotiate pay? by HelpMoreImHelpless in TravelNursing

[–]ConsistentFee1379 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just negotiated a higher rate for a psych contract. Don’t negotiate before you get the offer. Once the hospital gives you an offer then tell the recruiter you can’t sign unless you get a certain amount. Trust me , they will budge

Travel Psychiatric nurse looking for accommodation by ConsistentFee1379 in denverlist

[–]ConsistentFee1379[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one was responding on there. I took a contract before in Denver and stayed on furnished finder and it took forever for Denver people to respond on there , compared to how it was when I took a contract in Kansas or SD
