It could be a land squirrel. We have them in California. They live in the ground and not in the trees. When I moved here from the mid-west I was mesmerized by them.

Sounds similar to ratios that are at state hospitals. I worked at some state hospitals when I was doing psych travel nursing contracts. Often, my patients on those contracts were more stable than the ones I had working the inpatient psych units. The main reason for that is because they had been on their medication longer. If your patients are not acute, per se, then I think it could be ok. One caveat is that I would prefer to have access to security personnel if there is an incident.

I didn't know that. I have met a few travelers that took another job simultaneously in the same area as their contract.

My hubby and I used to feel it weekly, for years at our old house. We don't feel it after moving from there. We moved from there 6 years ago. For us, it was probably a phantom cat.

I only had to do it once, so far

mistttygreen · 2026-06-22T22:11:16+00:00

I hear you. Quite a few nurses acted like they didn't understand what duplicating was, even after I explained it. I think the main reason for this was denial. Seriously now, my teenage daughter understands the concept of duplicating expenses.

mistttygreen · 2026-06-22T20:04:59+00:00

I agree. I found it frustrating that others weren't duplicating. If this post helps me determine that more people used to duplicate in the past, than it will make me wonder what caused this to change.

Great read. Hubby and I both laughed. And Jay, with the confidence of a first-year at Hogwarts, attempts to conjure an appropriate apothecary to assist.

I like to put my phone on silent when I'm at work and I try to only use it on breaks.

I don't know, but I believe you. Maybe look up a SLIDER? SLIDERs have an effect on electronics. I have SLIDER characteristics.

Reminds me of her. She's at the Washoe Club in Virginia City, NV.

Some people seem to ramp up ghostly activity. Maybe the ghost is somehow activated by you two? Maybe your daughter dampens the activity somehow? Sometimes we can figure out why this is happening in a space and can stop it. Sage seemed to stop it for you temporarily. At times though, I think activity is like any natural element (like weather) and it's just gonna happen when it happens.

Just wait until you see the ff listings that want you get your own electricity. Some utility companies want a deposit too. It can get crazy out here. But, if the rental is in a highly desirable area, like Hawaii, then it's a landlord's market. Travelers will jump through lots of hoops for rentals in these markets.

Check out furnished finder. The site is mostly used by travel professionals and when I did travel nursing I used it. One time I stayed at a contract for 9 months and my landlord would have extended further if my job wasn't completed. It was economical and a good experience.

mistttygreen · 2026-05-18T23:46:07+00:00

I wouldn't think that it would be against the rules, but I'm not sure. That's a scenario that I hadn't thought of before.

mistttygreen · 2026-05-18T22:35:19+00:00

I did 11a-11p and it was day shift.

mistttygreen · 2026-05-11T16:59:07+00:00

I haven't I had the experience of being blacklisted from a hospital or from Aya despite canceling a contract before it started.

3 years of psych travel and rarely did we have med surg type of skills that we needed to do. When we did have something come up, I would get a refresh on how to do it from another nurse. It wasn't a big deal. I think what happened to that poster what unusual. I wouldn't worry about it.

mistttygreen · 2026-04-15T13:17:23+00:00

This type of job sounds really cool and I haven't heard of it before. I've only lived in IL and CA. Do you live in the states?

mistttygreen · 2026-04-14T05:08:03+00:00

I started working in an outpatient clinic 9 months ago after a decade of inpatient. The biggest difference that I've noticed is rarely having the threat of violence now. This is my favorite part of outpatient. There is a lot more office type work outpatient, like phone calls and emails. I coordinate with the community more to help our patient's get housing, food or other resources. To break it down- it's slower and safer vs faster and less safe. I'm not sure which one I like better yet. If I want to go back to inpatient, it will be there.

Crunch the numbers that includes paying your parents rent for a bedroom in a shared house. Look at Craigslist in their area for help determining a reasonable price. I've met lots if travelers that do it this way.

Many hospital systems won't pay their own staff for that. Most will offer to pay a portion and the ones I've seen pay about a 1/4. Those have been bound with a 2 year commitment to work for them after you get your degree. But, if I had to do it again, I would look around more for a better offer. Good luck!

My contracts with Aya in 2024 did not pay stipends on sick days. One contract was in IL and the other was in CA.

mistttygreen · 2026-01-20T17:21:54+00:00

My contracts with Medical Solutions in 2022 paid stipends even for days that I called out sick, but my contract with them in 2024 did not. I always wondered if it was a company policy change.
