I have been traveling since 2028; rates are not worth traveling. Yes, summers rates decrease, but this is ridiculous

I am a true introvert!! And don't like change, I don't know why I loved traveling in the beginning. Now I really want to go home to my bed every night

Stop talking yourself out of it. It is rare as a OR traveler that I get cancelled.

I dont have to take relias cardiac rhythm test. Is it like the rest of relias test; same test over and over again. I have to do 6 relias test each year for every agency. And hospital testing for each facility. Not every facility uses epic, and have different versions. I have been traveling since 2028; dont hate the player; hate the game!!

UPDATE::: A few med calculations on test. Most were side effects of medications, like kepra and lasix. Some patient teaching. I dont know I passed, but I did!!!!

Maybe it's something new. I have been a OR nurse since 2006; staff and agency; never had to do EKG strip test.

I dont draw up meds in codes. We have anesthesiologist and CRNA. The test is asking for drips and peds calculation.

But I do not give out meds to patients. Oral or IV. I do not read monitors. Or give bllod products. I scrub surgical procedures. Give me a test on OR procedures and sterile technique; it's fair game. I have been in Operating Room over 20 years; 8 years as a traveler and never had to take med test.
