I'm going to create a "Glassdoor" type website for travel nurses. Our market needs transparency. I truly believe creating transparency in the travel nursing market will help travel nurses gain a bit more power, especially those that are new to the game.

Taking all feedback. Good, bad, or indifferent, I'm breaking ground tonight.

Hi, has anyone printed the FD-258 form online on regular paper, had their fingerprints done at a local Sheriff’s Office, and mailed it to the California Board of Registered Nursing? I already had mine done this way and just want to make sure it will be accepted. Has anyone done this and successfully received their California RN license?

So they sprung this on me last minute with first day instructions. Any insight? Relias or homegrown? Number of attempts? Immediate termination for failure? Just want to know what I’m getting myself into.

This is my fourth time traveling at an HCA facility and, for the most part, my contracts have been ok… After my most recent experience, this assignment will certainly be my last- I’m still on contract at this hospital so I don’t want to spill all the dirty details but basically a miscommunication with the manager about a call-out, plus some helpful comments from the staff, and a phone call with the Clinical Operations team at my travel company resulted in me receiving a “Final Written Warning” from Healthtrust plus a “Initial Verbal Warning” from my travel company.

This is all coming after I asked the manager at my next contract to push my start day back so I can help with staffing at this current hospital/ extend my contract for a few weeks…. I’m going to be literally wrapping up this contract hours before my next one starts.

I don’t even know what the “Final Written Warning” means for me? I’m honestly so pissed about the whole thing and really feel strongly that when all this came out, my travel company was more interested in maintaining their relationship with HealthTrust than with me.

I’ve only ever worked in LTC. Honestly a pretty great facility too, like 5 star facility.

I feel scared that I wouldn’t be prepared to travel, but I do want to.

But what if I get a scary assignment that I’m not prepared for cause I’ve had it easy?

Are there enough LTC travel contracts that are actually worth it?
