    After 10 1/2 years as a truck driver I cannot count how many times I cooked in my truck. A 1500 watt inverter ran a microwave, coffee pot, tv, xbox, cooktop, laptop, and electric blanket when needed. It is amazing how one can become creative out of necessity. I am extremely happy to see you in a roomier vehicle. That Camaro looked brutal!

    You are perfectly set up to be a travel nurse. From what I understand, they make better pay per hour than a permanent job, so you can save up faster while checking out different places before deciding where you want to settle down.

    • @conniesaratoga3194
      @conniesaratoga3194 Год назад +18

      Yes, travel nurses usually make quite a bit more than stationary staff nurses, though not as much as they were pulling in during the covid crisis. However, it is generally recommended, if not outright necessary, for a new nurse to first work as a staff nurse in the position with a long term employer for at the very least 1 to 2 years while they are getting that crucial on the job training for the exact position they are going to pursue as a travel nurse later, as you don't get exact, detailed skills training for each of the hundreds of different potential nursing positions that exist while in Nursing school. Plus, since travel nurses as filling in a need for understaffed clinic's, they rarely have time to train the travel nurses who are expected to already have a good amount of experience and knowledge about the skills needed to be able to just jump in and start treating patients without much supervision or instruction. So he will probably have to settle in some area for the next two years after he decides where he wants to hopefully land a job. But he will probably consider California as they respect their nurses more than any other state and not only pay the highest salaries on average, but also have unionized most nurses and so the mandated nurse to patient ratios are much lower than most every other state(though Oregon just became only the second state to pass a law mandating the lower, and thus much safer for the patients and also the nurses, patient ratios). So living out of the SUV for even a good number of years doesn't have to cause him physical issues, and could make it possible to save more of a high salary even in the very high cost of living state of California!

You could always ask but that would alert them. Get friendly with the hospital security staff. I had a friend whose employer loved that he was parked out back - he was on call for emergencies of all kinds (tech work). Gyms (as well as the hospital itself) are sometimes open 24 hours a day, to shower, exercise, etc. Of course bigger cities have all night long restaurants. If you plan ahead and make use of lots of batteries and solar, this is very viable. It was my Plan B if I ever became homeless. By the way, most hospital employees are paid VERY well; lots of times the shifts are 12 on, 12 off, 3 or 4 day weeks. Lots of free time. Saving money like this you could retire at age 35 or 40, easily.

      I just found your videos today. I'm really enjoying your clever setups, both in the Chevy now and the car before. I had one suggestion for you. I saw in another van lifer's videos that she cleaned dishes by wiping the food off, then spraying each item from a spray bottle using white vinegar and water and wiping them off thoroughly. The white vinegar not only helps remove any leftover bacteria from meat, fish, eggs, etc., but it helps remove the odors after cooking. It's cheap, too. I would get a jug and also a small bottle. That way you're not always running out. You can keep the small bottle handy near where you use it, but stow the jug away somewhere less accessible. Don't worry...when you clean or disinfect with it, the vinegar small disapates quickly. Off topic, but I did notice a satisfied, proud smile in your clip of Graduation Day. You repressed it, but you should be proud. You're a very accomplished, motivated person. Also, I think that the reason cops, etc., don't harass you is that you keep your vehicle and yourself so neat. I think some folks throw appearances out the window, and opt for a scruffy bohemian look and it draws bad attention. It's just as easy to dress neatly, even from a thrift store, and comb your hair. I remember a homeless woman in the Midtown area of our city who I didn't really realize was homeless for a while because she was always so neat with her appearance. She didn't carry a million scruffy bags, but just one neat tote with a few simple pieces of clothing that could all be mixed and matched...and a large spiral-bound notebook and pen. I only figured out she was homeless when I saw that she consistently rotated through a few key places where one could sit undisturbed in public, with occasional breaks getting on and off the city bus. Anyway...enjoying your channel!😊

After almost 37 years I'm planning my retirement at my 40th year. I've never worried about being employed and neither will you. Bless you, you seem so chilled, go look at land in the beautiful mountains of West Virginia, cheap and plenty of great land. Best wishes my dear.
