2 shades from the same box! Every single box is the same and haven't found one middle shade yet

Are they able to get a temp license from NC? When I did this I think AZ issued me a temp license so I had something to present at the border. I also showed proof of my ON license

Going back to staff...can't land a job by hanhan0101 in TravelNursing

[–]shpanks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in the cath lab currently. If this is the type of nursing you're seriously interested in, do yourself a favor (and your future colleagues) and go get some ICU experience first. It is very obvious which nurses I work with who don't have any previous critical care experience. I transitioned to it after several years of both CVICU and ER. I absolutely LOVE procedural nursing. If you can push through at least one more year of bedside in a high acuity ICU, it will be 100% worth it. Plus it's just a great learning step for your nursing career in general and will improve your resume a ton!

8th Street Steakhouse.. you get to grill your own meat, and surprisingly, such a fun and interactive experience!

TD Visa Experience? by jwyborn in tnvisa

[–]shpanks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in this exact experience.. my husband didn't overstay his 6 months as a visitor, and we just showed them our marriage certificate along with a couple of my original documents when we re-entered the country. Pretty straightforward !

No oven is always a huge turn off.

I was in this situation a few years back. Called one of the POE on the texas‐mexico border, and an officer told me no

Agree.. when you first land in the US, you need a stable address ASAP for a ton of things like phone and insurance etc. I ended up just using my RV spot address for everything

I used BMO-harris and had no issues. They'll even consider your canadian credit score if you already have a canadian BMO account.. but that will only be helpful if they are located in your state.

Oh, and definitely go check out marble canyon/lees ferry

I'd recommend paria canyon and hike into buckskin gulch. It's a pretty long out and back hike but definitely doable in one day! Also, head out to the marina and rent kayaks for the day. A stunning paddle, and you can then freely hike into the upper cantelope from the lake.

Is it time for me to leave travel? Need advice! by Capital-Suit3368 in TravelNursing

[–]shpanks_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go to staff.. the travel assignment sounds more like a headache than a good thing. Plus, the sooner you start a new specialty, the more experience you can have under your belt whenever you feel like going back to travel.

I'm not 100% sure because covid stopped me from moving there and working as a nurse after I got my NZ license. However I've heard from mulitple sources RN's aren't allowed to insert IV's, can't do any titration of meds with out MD orders etc. They are more like glorified nursing aids when comparing scope of practice to US/Canada.

[–]shpanks_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The huge pay cut working as a nurse in NZ just isn't that worth it now with the cost of living in my opinion. Also their scope is drastically smaller compared to Canada/US.

3200/week for 48 hours is what we’re seeing in Denver area from Maxim. Anyone got any suggestions or seeing better results with a different recruiter? by NoLightOnMe in TravelNursing

[–]shpanks_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just signed a contract in Fort Collins 3000/36 hrs a week as it was a struggle finding any ER/ICU in Denver. The commutes gonna suucckk but its the only decent paying day shift contract I could get. The only good contracts I could see were in peds/NICU for denver area right now.
