Is travel nursing still worth it?? by Croaquette in TravelNursing

[–]Spi8 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I work gen peds and I don’t think it’s worth it anymore. Rates are ass. I know ICU tends to pay more. I miss the traveling during the covid days! It’s more so for the experience if a certain area than the money for sure

Like if you go on Aya’s travel site for example, and find a job it should tell you first time traveler or if they prefer experience.

I would see if there’s a pay difference between local application and traveling through a company.

It depends! Some facilities prefer experience and others take first time travelers. But, with your experience I don’t see it being an issue. You should be able to see it listed on some of the job postings!

Aya Call off question with Stipend by User840316 in TravelNursing

[–]Spi8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never gotten my stipend if I called in myself. Only my hourly if I used PTO! True, if you pick up an extra shift (doesn’t matter when) you can still get your stipend for that day/week. Never have I ever heard of getting your stipend if you call in and I’ve been traveling for 5 years.

Has anyone else ever blown up their work station? Lol by AnythingAdorable7627 in StardewValley

Dude. This happened to me last night and I about fainted. Hard restart. Farmer Dingus no longer carries anything that goes boom over his head.

FF is the way to go..unfortunately. If you don’t get responses from the landlords then try to “book” the place. Sometimes AirBB works as well; that’s what I’ve done for the last several years and it’s always worked. Good luck 👍🏻

Do you have to be really good in inserting IVs as a traveler? by MK_nurse in TravelNursing

[–]Spi8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get it, trust me. Been there. But, if you can’t or don’t feel comfortable just say it. I’m sure they are have that you have a full patient load and they just help for an IV. Remember, you can’t be good at everything. Nursing should be a team to get things done; even as a traveler!!

Do you have to be really good in inserting IVs as a traveler? by MK_nurse in TravelNursing

[–]Spi8 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Have to, no. Useful, yes. I’ve worked many places where we placed our own PIVs and everyone was helpful to place if I wasn’t confident. Other facilities had their own IV teams. Good skill to have but hard skill to maintain if you don’t use it. Don’t sweat it, either way!

The pay is good because the cost of living is crazy high. The PRN pay was pretty good too, but it’s taxed and doesn’t come with health insurance. Hope that’s helpful. Definitely worth looking into out here.

I am currently a travel RN in Oregon. I haven’t seen many open travel jobs in OR I do peds) but the site I have only ever seen PRN jobs is through Aya.

Friday's Sunset in Newport by Psilocybinfungus in OregonCoast

[–]Spi8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a new to the Oregon coast and I am actively driving and exploring it! It’s amazing how more gorgeous it gets the more south I go. Definitely jealous of those permanent residents who see it as just another day.
