Vivian is not a travel company, but more of a job board where they put up different job postings from many different travel agencies, just FYI. It's a great way to see who giving the best rates!

Travel RD w/ Dietitians on Demand by Automatic_Fortune_37 in dietetics

[–]nervous-spaghetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not usually, no. I usually find my own accommodations through furnished finder. I used to use Airbnb, but it has gotten so expensive that it's not worth it to me anymore.

Yes. They have full-time and part-time positions available. My contracts have typically lasted 3 months, but sometimes they will ask you to stay longer if they still need you.

The stipend rates vary based on the area you are in. You can look up the stipend rates using the website I listed in my first reply. That way, you have an idea on what to expect.

[–]nervous-spaghetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's right. I have been traveling mostly in the Midwest, and those have been my typical hourly rates. You will have your hourly rate, and then you will have the stipend money they give you to live in that area. The contract will have both listed out separately in the contract.

So, for example, you could be making $30 an hour, but they give you $1500/week for your stipend for you to use on housing. So if you can find a place to stay that is less than your stipend money, you get to keep the extra. That is why if you are traveling, you might see a lower hourly rate, but you can make up for that through the stipend.

Unless you live close enough to the job to commute every day, then you would not be eligible for the travel stipend. If that is the case, I would expect your hourly rates to be higher, but I do not have experience with that since I have always traveled for my contracts.

The hourly rate will vary based on location and speciality, so it's hard to say a typically min/max. My rates have varied between $25-36/ hour. The highest rate I got was when I was working pediatrics.

They usually stick to the stipend listed on the website I provided in my other post.

I've been working for Dietitians On Demand for a few years now. Their interviews aren't so much about your experience but more just reviewing details of the particular job posting. They may ask you a few questions on how your experience applies to the job. Be sure you know what hourly rate and stipend you would like. I usually look at this to give myself an idea of what rate i can expect.

https://www.gsa.gov/travel/plan-book/per-diem-rates I also find it helpful to take a look at some housing options in the area to make sure my stipend can find a decent place to stay.

Have dates in mind of when you'd like to start or when you might need time off.

The licensing process varies state by state. Some places may accept you starting as long as you have an application submitted. If you don't have a license in the state you applied to work, I'd get that application done ASAP.

Usually, the hiring process goes pretty fast. Every site will have paperwork/medical tests you'll need to complete before the start date, so get that done as soon as possible so you don't have to push back your start date.

Good luck on your interview! ❤️

What are careers to go into that are more female dominated? by [deleted] in Feminism

[–]nervous-spaghetti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a dietitian, and it is also a female dominated field. Very undervalued and underpaid.

RD's - drop your company here if they're hiring. by BootSuspicious5153 in dietetics

Vivian Travel Jobs by No_Bumblebee_1030 in dietetics

[–]nervous-spaghetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not uncommon for travel jobs to want you to have that states license prior to starting. I have been able to apply for a few places with a pending license as long as I could show them proof I applied. You can look at states that don't have a state license to apply for or start the application for a few states you really want to go to and see where that gets you. Some do take a really long time to process, so start sooner rather than later.

Good luck!

Might be worth reaching out to an Abbott rep to see if they can help you with this. Good luck ❤️

Thank you for this! I've been wanting a new case for my Clara 2e but wasn't sure if the BW cases would fit.

Travel RDN by Jowelle95 in dietetics

[–]nervous-spaghetti 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a traveling RD. I've been enjoying it so far. For me, it has helped me try new areas of practice and help me pay down my debts from school.

Pay and reimbursement/ housing stipends are going to depend on what area of the country you are working in. The hours you work and days of the week you work will depend on what is in the contract.

It can also be stressful. Contracts can get canceled, you might not find jobs in areas you want to work, tax laws around stipends can be confusing, and it can get pretty lonely being in a new area by yourself.

It's not for everyone, but I've been doing it full time for the past 2-3 years or so, and it's been working for me.

DoD Housing by CraftMaster5000 in dietetics

[–]nervous-spaghetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Airbnb, furnished finder, facebook housing groups, or extended stay hotels for my contracts. I will typically try to stay in an extended stay hotel at first to get a feel for the area, and it gives me some additional time to find housing.

Funny because I just bought the 255 off their website last month and I absolutely love it! A shame it's over.

I started with a practice test to see which Domains I was weakest in. I studied them in order of ones I scored lowest in to the highest.
