    Happy to have you out here on the west coast. When my husband was in ICU his nurse was 1:1 ratio. It was so nice. I’m not a nurse but really enjoying your videos.

    I took a travel position at Cedar Sinai. Best job ever!! Ratio great!! Housing paid for and furnished, pool, parking paid. My housing was all set up. 2 miles from Beverly Hills. I took my own car. However, I was offered a rental. Couldn't imagine sending a child to public school in L.A. Groceries are expensive!! Culture shock as I came from Amish Country.

I am grateful for this experience because of the people I have met, the lessons I have learned, and the travel opportunities, but all of this did not come out without a challenge. I know you weren’t expecting a reply from a stranger, but I hope this helps to answer any concerns you had in your mind regarding this option in nursing! I wish you the best with all of your studies.

    As a travel nurse in California, do you ever get temp jobs in other parts of Cali? Like can you have a job in Los Angeles for a month and then a job for 3 months in San Diego?
    Also, do you ever get asked to extend a contract?
    Are there long term travel contracts, like 6 months and up?

    • @thesunnyedge

      Stephanie&CO yes you can often extend your contract! I did a travel assignment in LA then went down to San Diego.

    How many years of experience do they need before starting as a travel nurse? Do you think 1 year experience is gonna be enough 😅

    • @heynurserocky
      @heynurserocky  6 лет назад +1

      For some agencies and hospitals it can be. Others it won't be... don't let that stop you. The determining factor should be more about if you feel confident and comfortable with your skills as a nurse to step out there... not if someone will hire or not (someone 9/10 will hire you)

    @msfloyd9810 4 года назад

    Is it best to just travel when you are an RN because I'm going to go to school for LPN and wanted to have that experience as a traveling nurse before enrolling to go to school for RN. But as I do my research for travel jobs in the healthcare field. There are more travel jobs for RNs than any other healthcare field. Maybe I should just wait until I become an RN to start traveling. Besides, I'm going to have to wait a year or two anyway before I could be even considered for a traveling company/assignment.

    I live in California and have worked as an RN for 13 years. We make a lot but the cost of living and taxes will consume it. The nurses union is also pushing for Medicare for all which I’m afraid will force us to lower our wages. I’m sorry to get political in your comment section but the democrat party here is screwing things up. I do like your take on things.
