Can you ask for an increase in stipend if yours is lower than the maximum? With my company they are putting more of the money towards the overtime rate and although the stipend offered is not super low it’s almost $200 less than the max according to the website?

What if i want to live in a van how would this work?

can the stipend(non-taxable) rate be more than the hourly(taxable) rate?

You had shitty recruiters my boi

I know travels who change there tax home but live in the same city

A year and no response

Thank you for this

That RN is making very little

So if I am working a block schedule and going home for my days off and say the per diem is $1200 for area the contract is in, I have to be able to prove I am paying that much?

I have a question about 'auto offer". I have had an Auto offer, and the recruiter says that I can decline the offer when I speak to the facility, but they want me to sign the contract before that happens... is that a thing? Can I REALLY decline it after signing without some sort of consequences like being blackballed or something? I know the contract isn't really binding, but I have heard horror stories...

What if I spend the 3 nights each week at a friend’s home located near the hospital I work at. And then travel 2 hours back to my house ( tax home). Do i qualify for the tax free stipend?

I came from Pennsylvania to work in Indiana, of course I rented a place here for the length of my contract… I didn’t get it if I qualify or not because o came from another state…

do agencies even follow these rules

Do you recommend just paying rent in parents' house during the time collecting the stipends? Does IRS want to see youve been paying for a few years time?

If the GSA rate for the time frame I’m working is $288, and the lowest during the year is $104. What should my GSA rate be?

Great Advice! I a 68y/o male RN with 42yrs experience. I'm looking to take on my first Travel assignment. My specialty is Endoscopy. Do you have a Malpractice Policy as a Travel Nurse?

If I switch to local travel after a year in the same general area will I be compliant?

Trash explanation

What about the high low method?

What if I legit own two homes in the same state but 100 miles apart? Could I stay at my second home and count that as duplicating expense? I am in fact paying two mortgages in my name

What qualifies a travel nurse as “duplicating expenses”?

What if you get a stipend for the whole week but only use it 4 days a week? Do you just report the other 3 days as 1099 income or how is it reported for tax purposes?

Really wish I had found this video before wasting soo much time joining random agencies

Hello sir ..iam glory ..staff nurse with 8yrs of experience in operation theatre...from India...I'm interested to become a travel nurse...please help me ...tell me what should I do first

I just joined, want to be honest here Drew. I just started my Agency and am researching Travel nursing as a service we offer as we have contracts for both local and travel. I want to do this the right way and I could learn from what you have learned over the years. I am inclined to take your training as I believe thinking like the candidate makes the recruitment team overall better. How can I connect with you? Looking forward to hearing from you.

interested in this course

I joined! thanks for creating this community

So if I was commuting around 1 hr 30 min for 75 mile away contract, would I need to get a hotel for nights I worked to meet IRS requirements? I had one recruiter tell me I couldn’t just drive to and from the facility

Hello, can you tell me all the expanse per month the travel nurse has to pay ( life cost ) please ?

Well explained. Thanks for clarifying.

Question about vetting the people who post. Ik you have to use common sense but nervous about sending all my info.

I see a lot of specific questions in here regarding taxes.... ask a CPA in your state. You're all making a lot of money by travel nursing. Save what you can legally. Don't ask someone on youtube.

Now what if you rent with a friend or family member and pay fair market value. Obviously you need proof of this for your taxes but once your proof is made and you pay your rent, can they pay you back under the table without IRS knowing of this? We want to make the most out of our stipends. For example I know my parents would allow me to stay with them for free so if I paid them fair market value to have that proof for my taxes, can they pay it back to me with no worries of me losing that proof?

Starting traveling in the coming months; thank you for this advice! I don't use Facebook. Is there a way to access your travel nurse beginner's course without it?

Terrible advice. Hilariously bad.

If I live in a house and am paying for bills and property taxes. To clarify I am not paying for rent or a mortgage. And then I do travel nursing to a different state and pay rent at fair market value there while continuing to pay for bills from my house, does this count as duplicating expenses?

Hi, OK so what do we do then as receiving stipends and not driving over "50 miles"? Is it possible to just disregard the 50 mile rule per the agency and deal with the IRS if needed? Or do agency have some type of proof showing distance from whatever facility?

What are the rules that would disqualify me from receiving my stipend?

Thank you!

I'm going for travel CNA, so this video helped me get knowledgeable as well.

Is it sufficient to show you paid for 5 nights/week, not 7?

My agency just informed me (mid contract) that my hospital would be decreasing my hourly pay next month by OVER 50% ... and is giving us 3 days notice to leave without penalty (without time to get another job lined up). I asked my hospital manager and it sounds like the new bill rate vs. my rate is A LOT different. I think I’m being swindled out of pay. Can they do this???

The facility asked me for a 13 week extension. I then told my agency. Will the contract be the same? Coz I asked the agency and told me it depends on the facility's offer. Just wondering if my agency is being honest.

Uhhhh missed it

Let’s say I’m renting a room at my mom’s in Bakersfield, CA, and my assignment is also in CA, in San Jose. I would still need to be duplicating my expenses right? REGARDLESS of me being in the same state. I will be renting a room in San Jose! My plan is to pay the fair market value for a room rental in Bakersfield. And pay about $2500 a month for a room in SJ. Albeit, my stipends are all maxed out in SJ. Would this be enough to demonstrate that I am duplicating my expenses?

Thanks Drew! Very helpful:)

So what if several people share an apartment as an example, find a place together, and split the rent and utilities evenly? The total amount is obviously fair market value, but its diminished with roommates. Wouldn't this be a case of duplicating expenses? My wife is about to begin her first assignment and im making sure i understand correctly.

I have been an RN since 2014.....im sooo very scared to start travel. But i think i am just going to....JUST DO IT! 😁
