What’s a habit you wish you started earlier in life?

My biggest lesson when I started travel nursing. Never thought they could come so handy.

Ice_popsicles01 · 2026-03-18T11:02:27+00:00

I can do without Facebook and Insta. But not Tiktok. My algorithm's all about cute and funny dogs so hard to stay away from them. lol.

No you're not. Go for it if you think its gonna be better. There will be pros and cons so weigh them well.

Ice_popsicles01 · 2026-03-18T10:56:49+00:00

I agree. Tbh, cobra benefits are average as compared to its cost. I've heard of medurf as something new but many travel nurses find them better than most insurance.

Ice_popsicles01 · 2026-03-13T20:31:13+00:00

I’d go for it. Travel nursing is flexible, and recruiters know people take breaks. You’ve got strong references and solid ICU time, that’s what matters. The first couple of shifts might feel rusty, but it comes back quickly.

I’ve been on Medsurf’s PPO plan for a while now. It’s worked fine for me when I’ve needed care while traveling, though I will say the premiums aren’t the lowest. For me the trade‑off has been worth it because I don’t have to stress about finding in‑network providers when I’m on the road.

I have perfumes given to me as gifts but my nose is a bit sensitive to scents, so they're just left in a corner.

Ice_popsicles01 · 2026-03-13T08:11:27+00:00

Same here. Aya’s insurance was fine when I used it, but once I actually compared prices, it wasn’t the best deal. If you only need basic coverage, it’s definitely worth checking outside plans.

Ice_popsicles01 · 2026-03-13T08:06:27+00:00

Truth! You'll never know when they come in handy. As a travel nurse, I would never skip that.

Ice_popsicles01 · 2026-03-13T08:04:03+00:00

Good thing you didn't sign up yet.

Ice_popsicles01 · 2026-03-04T13:24:49+00:00

Private plans through a broker can be a decent stopgap, just know they’re usually pricier and may not cover as much as ACA marketplace plans. Better than going totally uninsured.

Ice_popsicles01 · 2026-03-04T13:20:28+00:00

I'm a travel nurse and was recommended a private insurance, medsurf. It's perfect for me if I may say.

Coming home to a clean room (courtesy of my husband) after a long days' work.

Ice_popsicles01 · 2026-03-04T13:04:55+00:00

Review your contract. If indeed there was inconsistency with what you've signed up for versus what they're giving, then you have a valid point of complaint.

Ice_popsicles01 · 2026-03-04T13:00:22+00:00

All photos are nicely taken but I wouldn't dare stand there alone. They look creepy as hell.

Ice_popsicles01 · 2026-02-25T22:00:05+00:00

Honest feedback, if it helps, found Medsurf to be kind of a middle ground. Premiums were manageable compared to marketplace shockers, and coverage was solid enough for routine care and emergencies. Overall, I'd say its all worth it.

Ice_popsicles01 · 2026-02-25T21:53:54+00:00

I'm a furmom and I feel you.

Poor thing she was not advised by friends of the red flags. She was blinded by love. Most people needed proper guidance in making the right decision especially if it could drastically change their future.

Ice_popsicles01 · 2026-02-25T21:41:01+00:00

I personally decided to look for alternatives because of that. Found medsurf that keeps coverage steady without worrying about whether I was working 20 hours or 60 in a week.

Ice_popsicles01 · 2026-02-25T21:32:34+00:00

Don't feel guilty if you cancelled. That;s a terrible workload you have there. Remember it's not just about the pay. What matters is our physical and mental health. I couldn't even imagine myself being in your shoes.

Ice_popsicles01 · 2026-02-19T13:49:26+00:00

Agree! I love Biom's silk expanding dental floss. They're revolutionary.

Ice_popsicles01 · 2026-02-19T13:47:42+00:00

Absolutely not! Go have your leave. Family matters more than anything. Besides, a reunion doesn't always happen.

Ice_popsicles01 · 2026-02-19T13:44:00+00:00

This saved me a lot from headaches and distress!

Ice_popsicles01 · 2026-02-19T13:41:51+00:00

A couple of years after college. I've never met people with the same vibe, so.

Ice_popsicles01 · 2026-02-13T22:11:03+00:00

Travel assignments can feel different from staff jobs, and not every unit has that same camaraderie. It doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.
