Omg I’ve been searching for this exact video, I have an LLC and a lucrative per diem that’s out of town with a low commitment but wanting to build my business income by working as an independent contractor but so many agencies I use will only allow w2, what agencies do you go through or recommend I contact, so far I’ve only had luck with medley
Glad to have come across this video. This is my shit, 100%. I have made the jump to 1099 nursing and haven't looked back. I made an LLC to get the benefits of setting up a single-member nursing company. I couldn't travel during the pandemic, but it was still a BANDemic. I'm an LPN working through my BSN and this is a great option for nurses
Hi! Nurse Jay your story is inspiring!!! So you are 1099 as an LPN? May I ask what state? I’m currently in California and looking into it as well. I been an LPN for over 7 years and just got my BSN. Working as RN for past 3 months. Any tips or suggestions on companies? Thanks in advance
Yeah I would remove the background song on the videos. I like the song, but it becomes a distraction because it is overpowering your voice. I loved the information. Thanks for sharing!
Am now doing local travel homehealth contracts in MA. Pay is 3 times double the staff bedside RN. And non stressful. I will look into those 4-6 weeks agencies . Thanks
Thank you so much for lending part of your mind & experience. You have the most informative and motivating vid I’ve watched. I thought I was going to have to move in order to work, continue my certification (education) and stay consistent with my parents and kids. I will definitely be grabbing an llc & now I actually feel like studying for my skills exam. Again Thank You Blessings on your journey
Hi Layne what a great video, so much great I for nation and tips, I really enjoyed it. I’m a student in LVN school and definitely plan on going up to getting my higher degree, I don’t know in what but I’m taking my time with each step of my journey. I’m a mom of four so LVN, 1 year schooling is perfect for me. Starting my own business is definitely a dream of mine and I’m excited to start that journey but first I need to get though nursing school lol. I subscribed and look forward to learning more from you. Again, thank you for this wonderful video and good luck in your journey ❤️
Wow, you're a super woman! 🤩 Everyone's path is different so I think you'll know when the time is right if that's something you end up wanting to do! Thanks so much for commenting, subscribing, & encouraging 🤍
Hi everyone! I hope you are enjoying this video and that it was helpful to you! Please leave me a comment with your thoughts and questions, I'm here to help!
Hey Fifi! Thanks so much! Great question! I started off in a very busy inpatient PACU setting where I rotated to different PACUS (same day surgery, endoscopy, main, cath lab/IR) for about a year and a half before I started to take contracts. I think it depends on what your experience is and what kind of PACU you are going to!
Hello Layne, thank you for this videos I really liked it and also it gave me a new info about LTN cuz I have never heard about it, Im an authorized nurse here in Morocco and I work in public hospital and I really shocked about the incomes are maid by the LTN not like here (600$/month), I mean its the best to make good money good for you and thank yoi again.
Thanks for watching! I don't have an exact percentage that I use when negotiating contracts! The best salary information that I've gotten was actually from other travel nurses who are working in similar settings (unit and state). Because the market changes, I would recommend speaking with colleagues and to see what a fair wage is!
I heard you mention Aya but can you share the name of some other local travel agencies or is it specific to location because all I seem to come across is nursing home assignments I haven’t found anything out patient
American Mobile Network, Medely, ShiftKey, Maxim Healthcare, Connect RN, just to name a few but there are a lot out there. The kind of assignments that you'll find depends on your background and specialty experience though!
Thank you for the informative video Layne! Can you provide some agencies that are flexible in allowing 4-8 week contracts and part time options? Thanks so much!
Honestly the best way to get recommendations is to talk to travel nurses at your hospital because they can recommend specific recruiters to you as well! But I'm sure you can also Google it to find some!
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
That's a great question! I believe it depends on what you have chosen as your state of residence but definitely would be a good thing to clarify with a recruiter!
@@InMyLayne thanks. I’m in Minnesota. My recruiter referred me to a tax person and my cpa said she’s not familiar with local travel, just out of state 😵💫
Hey Karen! The gist of PACU Nursing is recovering patients as they are waking up from anesthesia. This includes monitoring vitals signs, assessing pain, giving medications (BP meds, pain meds, antiemetics, etc) when needed and reviewing discharge education with patients when appropriate. This is a very simplified description and there is a lot that goes into this depending on the acuity of the PACU. I also made a video about my PACU nursing experience if you are interested: ruclips.net/video/sG_448kpyWY/видео.html
Hi. Ive been searching for videos on local travel contracts. There are very few which somewhat scares me. So I'm very greatful to have found you. And thank you so much for the agencies. I have been having a hard time finding those as well, or maybe there's just not many jobs available in Florida. My question is about pay. So many say that its not worth it. Once taxes are cut from the check you're making the same amount as a staff nurse. Im hoping this is not true. I would love to go nationwide to travel but that's not my reality right now but I was thinking I can at least do local contracts and perhaps find an opportunity here and there to do something around the country. But I really want to make more, ;earn more, experience different demographics and systems, different hospital communities and the culture of how each one works. Please tell me though, that there is a significant pay increase in the local contract arena. Im currently a 2yr experience med-surg/tele nurse. My hourly pay is $32/hr. Post taxes, I'm looking at about 1300 bi-weekly. Sometimes 1400. Can you explain how local travel pay differs or is the same? or what variables determines the yes or no to that question? Thank you, will be awaiting your reply Actually can I call you or you call me lol. I’m so serious 954 579 4857. It would be so much easier. I have questions on questions and no one I know does local contracts
Hey Julie! Feel free to email me! My email is on the about section of my channel page! I'm currently working in the DC area and based on my experience, travel pay is significantly more than staff nursing. If you are willing to go to another state, you'll make the most money because you will also get a tay free stipend for housing, food, etc. For local travel I've found that I also make more money than I did as a day shift inpatient nurse. Keep in mind that taxes may or may not be taken out already depending on the contract. Even with that though I would say that I'm making more money with less stress because I know what to look for now when it comes to contracts and I know how to negotiate my pay. Feel free to reach out with any more questions!
Sorry that background music is a little loud in this video!! Definitely will work on this in the future 😊
Hi,
May I ask where you get local contracts?
Hlo mam

@@haetienne Glad this was helpful! Honestly Medley has been the most successful platform that I've seen! I'm not as familiar with others
Please, it was very distracting and takes away from that knowledge you're kind enough to share with us

With a couple loop holes you could be a travel nurse and pay no taxes on anything you make and that's incredible. Literally just got that 💡 moment
Thank you for posting this it really opened up some more options for me for the future.
turn down the music
Hi In My Layne loved your video! Very informative ❤
Great video! Just a note, the music in the background is a little loud so it makes hearing you a little difficult
Thanks for the feedback! I'll be working to address this in future videos! 😊
What about medsurg can we do outpatient too? Just started traveling this year
Am now doing local travel homehealth contracts in MA. Pay is 3 times double the staff bedside RN. And non stressful. I will look into those 4-6 weeks agencies . Thanks
Glad this was helpful! I have no regrets!

Hi Layne, thank you for clarity on different nursing careers. Can a general nurse work as a travel nurse
I enjoyed your videos, thank you! I am a LPN looking for local travel nurse, I live in Miami FL. Where can I start? Thank you, may God bless you!
The background music is too loud☹️

Hey Layne, I love your videos!. How long did u wait until you felt comfortable enough to move around and take PACU contracts?
Hey Fifi! Thanks so much! Great question!

how did you get the outpatient jobs?
Are you negotiating your salary at a certain percentage higher to accommodate for other expenses/taxes?
I ask because I hear agencies always get 3x what they pay the nurse. Are you getting 3x too when you negotiate your own contract?
Thanks for watching! I don't have an exact percentage that I use when negotiating contracts!

@@lalalomb7223 I actually haven't heard of that one! Have you worked there?
Thank you for the informative video Layne! Can you provide some agencies that are flexible in allowing 4-8 week contracts and part time options? Thanks so much!
Medely and ShiftKey are what come to my mind first, but I know there are others as well!

@@InMyLayne do you work with kids I really want to work with sick kids
@@niyathescorpio consider a NICU residency
Music too loud
Do these agencies give you tuition reimbursement?
I've seen this for certain agencies after you work a few full time contracts. Not every one does though
Is a BSN required to do travel nursing???
Usually not, they focus on your nursing experience more than your specific degree
sorry to ask but what is W2?
A W2 is a form you receive that shows what taxes were taken out of your wages
Random question but do you know if you can opt out of a 401k?
Do you mean like if the agency offers it but you don't want it?
@@InMyLayne yes!
@@flerev3486 all of the places that I've worked there has been an option to do that
The background music is kinda loud and distracting fyi. I couldn’t watch the video even tho it seemed like helpful information.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll be working to address this in future videos! 😊
Health insurance??
This depends on the agency and how often you work. When I did it, I was prn so health insurance was not included
