How Do I Search For a Travel Nursing Job?
If yo’ve just begun looking for a travel nursing job, or are even considering travel nursing, it can be a daunting task to do some research.
Each agency might have their own contracts with a particular facility and there are literally hundreds of different agencies. More than likely, though, the agency has contracts with one of the vendors who sign agreements with lots of different agencies. Confused?
What it really means is that a particular travel nursing job is very likely available from several different agencies. How do you find them?
In my business I have taken a different approach. I am Independent of the agencies and have contracts with several different ones and access to most of the major Vendors. What this means to a prospective travel nurse is that I can work closely with a nurse. I find out exactly what he or she is looking for and then do a national search with all of my various sources. Once we locate “the job” we want to target I can then approach the agency and negotiate a package of pay, benefits and tax free reimbursements. The agency/vendor is happy, the nurse is served well and has the added benefit of a professional representation. The agency pays my fee, by the way.
If you would like me to do a personal job search for you and give you an idea of just what is out there contact me using the form below. You will not be handed off to a staff member or an inexperienced recruiter. I do this service myself. I can only deal with a limited number of nurses so the sooner you get in touch, the better. I will NOT share your information.
How long do I commit to a travel nursing job?
Thanks for the question, Kimberly.
Travel nursing assignments are normally for a 13 week period, ( 3 months). Some of the travel nursing jobs are available because of a seasonal change in population, (think Florida), so the hospital doesn’t want to staff a permanent employee for that temporary need. More often though the travel nurse jobs are available because the hospital simply cannot find qualified personnel to fill a current need. Consequently, if they are happy with your work and you are happy with the job, you might very well be offered an extension. Extensions are usually for an additional 13 week period. You can maintain your legal status as a traveler, (along with the attendant tax advantages) taking up to 3 extensions in any one location. If you stay more than a year the IRS will likely deem you a local nurse and you will lose a lot of benefits.
Once you are about 4 weeks from the end of your assignment I would suggest you get in touch with your recruiter or your Advocate and begin discussing whether you want to extend or whether you would like to look at other assignments. You also may want to take a break and do some pleasure travel. Some of my nurses try to schedule a weeks vacation every 13 weeks!
The point is, the decision is yours.
TIP:.If you think you may want to take a traveling nurse job in a state other than the one you are currently working in it is a good idea to talk with your recruiter and work on the licensing early rather than wait until a job comes up you want to take but cannot due to licensing. Feel free to contact me for a free consultation on this. Some states take 3 days, some states take 3 months.
If you would like to have a personal conversation with me (Conrad) you can request it HERE.
Can I take a travel nursing jobs near home?
Can you accept travel nursing jobs near your permanent residence? As I understand it, this is really a tax question and I certainly am not a tax professional.
Here is what I mean. One of the benefits of taking a travel nursing assignment is that the agency will generally provide you with either fully paid housing or a stipend. It is my understanding that you can receive this money or benefit tax free since you are required to live away from “home” for this job.
A lot of people say travel nursing jobs need to be 50 miles from home to qualify for this but I think that is a gray area, as I cannot find any mile requirement when looking it up in the tax code. You really need to ask your tax professional about this but I do think it is pretty clear that you cannot live in your normal permanent residence and receive that money tax free. The one I have checked with (who specializes in travel nurses) says the code basically says that if the job is far enough to need you to stay overnight.
I have had nurses who “commuted” to the job from their home base for 3×12 shifts and stayed in motorhomes or Extended Stay America facilities then headed home for the days off.
I get asked this quite often. “Can I bring my dog, cat (or?) on a travel nursing job assignment?
I used to discourage this. Getting housing that allowed a travel nurse to have a pet could be difficult.
It seems that time has mellowed the attitudes towards this though. More and more agencies will work with you and do whatever they can to find you housing that can allow your pet. This is especially true if you are a very qualified candidate for travel nursing and are applying for a job that is more difficult for the travel nursing agency to fill.
Now that housing stipends are all the rage and you are arranging your own housing more often than not, it is easier to communicate directly with landlords and “room renters” about this. A lot of nurses rent out rooms to travel nurses and if they are pet owners they are much more likely to allow pets. I have a lot of thoughts on this so if we happen to have a private conversation ask me!
So think twice. Everyone’s situation is different.
As an aside, I once had two pet rats. They were the best! They loved their cage and even if I left the door open the had no interest in venturing out. They had wonderful personalities (I swear) and were great little companions. Not that I am saying every travel nurse who wants a pet should get a rat but………they will do pretty well when you are working those 10 hour shifts! Just a thought lol.
If you would like to talk persoanlly with one of the top travel nurse experts in the country just ask!

In what may have been the final start of his career, John Lackey pitched a beauty to help the Cubs clinch the NL Central title.
ST. LOUIS — They kept looking for him Wednesday night, calling his name, chanting his name, louder and louder and louder, until Chicago Cubs pitcher John Lackey finally emerged.
The Cubs, who had just clinched the NL Central title with a 5-1 victory over the rival St. Louis Cardinals, kept the celebration relatively tame until Lackey’s arrival, clearing a path for him into the middle of the clubhouse.
Lackey slowly walked towards the middle, and with every step he took, they chanted his name, dousing him with beer, spraying him with champagne, until he stepped into the circle, where teammate Jon Lester was standing.
Lester, his teammate of nearly eight years, with the two of them winning two World Series championships together with two different organizations, asked the room for quiet.
The clock now reading 9:25 p.m., Lester began to toast not only one of his closest friends, but perhaps as fine a teammate he’s ever had in his career.
"He didn’t come here for no bleeping haircut boys," Lester began, stealing Lackey’s infamous line of a year ago. "I know we got the playoffs going guys, but I’ve had the pleasure of calling this guy a teammate for eight years. I’ve learned a lot about the game from this guy, and I’m sure you guys have too.
"Here’s to one of the best teammates and one of the best people I’ve ever got to play with.
"Tonight is probably his last regular-season start. Here’s to one hell of a career."
Lester and Lackey embraced, and as his teammates screamed even louder, Cubs bench coach Davey Martinez grabbed a bottle of Crown Royal. Lackey tipped his head back, and Martinez poured it down his throat.
Lackey, chugging it down as if he were at a fraternity keg party, then yelled out: "This is for the boys on the bus!"
"We’re not stopping here boys. We got 11 more. Eleven more. Eleven bleeping more. So keep it going. Keep it rolling. I’m proud of every one of you guys. Eleven more. Eleven more. Let me hear it."
The Cubs, their T-shirts soaked with beer, all began chanting: "Eleven more! Eleven more! Eleven more!"
The Cubs, only the second World Series champion in eight years to return to the postseason in the ensuing season, won’t be the favorites to win it like a year ago, not with just 89 victories, but they know they’ve got a chance.
"That’s all you can ask for," Cubs president Theo Epstein said. "We’ve got an opportunity. That’s all you want. I’m sure people aren’t picking us to win the whole thing again. But it doesn’t really matter. It’s opportunity.
"Our guys love the opportunity. They love big games. They love competition at the highest level. So it’s an opportunity to make some history."
Certainly, there are few active pitchers who have taken advantage of their opportunity, thriving on baseball’s biggest stage, more than Lackey. He was a rookie in 2002 when he stepped onto the mound for the Los Angeles Angels in Game 7 of the World Series, and became the first rookie to win Game 7 since Babe Adams in 1909 for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He won the clinching Game 6 with the 2013 Boston Red Sox, celebrating their first title at Fenway Park since 1918. And again last year with the Cubs winning their first title in 108 years.
It was likely the last time that Lackey (12-11, 4.56 ERA) will ever start a game. He will be on the Cubs’ postseason roster, but he’s expected to pitch out of the bullpen. But if this is really it, and that was the final start of his life, he sure went with a beauty, as the first Cubs pitcher to win a clinching game in St. Louis since 1938.
He dazzled the Cardinals for six innings, giving up just two hits and one run, suffocating the same offense that scored seven runs a night earlier and winning for the 188th and, perhaps, final time of his career.
Lackey hasn’t publicly discussed his likely retirement and has shared his plans with only his closest friends and family, but Lester wanted to make sure to put the spotlight back on Lackey, wanting him to treasure this night forever.
"I wanted to do that as a repay for everything he’s done for me," Lester said. "I think this is it for him, but if he does end up pitching somewhere, he owes me some beers."
Lackey has spent 15 years in the big leagues and all but two months with Lester since 2010.
When they each were traded away from the Boston Red Sox in the summer of 2014, it was Lester who convinced him to join the Cubs as a free agent after the 2015 season, allowing the two of them to share history together when the Cubs won their first World Series since 1908.
"Really," says Lester, "he’s family to me."
Lackey may have a perpetual scowl on the mound and be cranky with the media, but Epstein has never been around a player whose public perception is as vastly different as the respect and admiration he has in the clubhouse.
Late Wednesday night, he had whiskey to drink, champagne to spray, and a whole lot of cold beer to finish before the end of the night.
"You always celebrate like it’s your last one," Lester said. "You don’t know what’s going to happen or what’s in store for you. I know people get mad about all of these celebrations, but I’d rather go all out than regret it not doing it when you had the chance.
"It’s the same with Lack. We are going to celebrate. And we’re going to celebrate together.
"This is what it’s all about."

For the third session of Elastic Nature, held on All Hallows Eve, we will be exploring the legacy of Frankenstein – a 200-years-young piece of literature that grows all the more relevant as science and technology pro/digresses.
We are honoured to invite artist, writer and educator Adrian Holme to deliver a richly insightful lecture on one of the most enduring and influential novels of the Romantic era.
In 1816 Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, then aged 18, wrote the novel Frankenstein. Daughter of radicals Mary Wollstonecraft, pioneer feminist writer, and political theorist and libertarian William Godwin, Mary Shelley was born in 1797. She eloped with the poet PB Shelley in 1814. With him she bore four children, only one of whom survived to adulthood.
Frankenstein, product of a challenge by the poet Lord Byron to the Shelleys, himself and Dr Polidori to write a ghost story (Shelley 2003), was published in 1818. It has been interpreted in many forms on stage and in film and has been the subject of much critical analysis.
Join us here at THECUBE on 31st October where Frankenstein will be discussed through the multiple lenses of Romanticism, art and science, literary and philosophical influences and critical interpretations, with an attempt to shed light on why the work has such an enduring legacy.
This is the third Elastic Nature event – an art research club bringing together interdisciplinary researchers, practitioners and thinkers around the broad subject of ‘the future of nature’ via artificial life, sympathetic synthetics, sensory realities, materiality and speculative bodies.
If you are interested in coming, please sign up here! Its free!
We are excited to be hosting the third event by ELASTIC NATURE, by the incredible artist Becky Lyon. Bringing art and science together is pretty much our members dream scenario!

I want a Bluetooth headset.
Wich one should I buy. sony or the bose headphones.
I know that sony has touch. is it easy?
I have the Bose QC35 head phones, so I would recommend Bose.
They have a 3 way switch on the back of the right ear cup. It goes bottom portion of the button: volume down, middle of the 3 way switch play/pause/change the track, and the top is volume up. On the middle of the right ear cup is a switch. If you push it one position it powers on the head set. If you push it past the on position it cycles through the devices you have paired to the head phones. Holding the switch in the most forward position for several seconds will allow the device to be ready to pair. All of these functions are accomplished with voice prompts so you know what you are doing and what device to try and connect to.
On the back of the left ear cup is a button that cycles between full noise cancellation, partial noise cancellation and no noise cancellation. You can simply pair this head set as a blue tooth device and do not need to download the Bose App. I had difficulty using the app, but quickly realized its easy to pair the head phones.
The app primarily deals with equalization, turning off the voice prompts of the head phones, etc. I was not able to get past the agreement portions of the app so I just paired the QC35's as you would pair any other blue tooth device.
One cautionary note regarding this product I did not know until afterwards is it does not use a standard 3.55 MM head phone jack for wired devices. It is a smaller standard than 3.55 mm to a 3.55 mm jack which is the standard head phone jack. You either have to buy a wired cable from Bose if you want a replacement or more than one. Or you can go on amazon and buy a very cheap adapter to allow you to use any standard 3.55 male to male head phone chord. That's the only negative I have found regarding the QC35 headphones. Overall they are fantastic and the noise canceling technology is incredible. If you do buy this head set you will be amaze how superior it is to knock off brands.
I can not say much about Sony head phones. I personally am not a fan of the brand and other blue tooth accessories I have heard do not sound nearly as good as a premium brand like Bose or JBL. I would highly recommend the QC35's.
Been using the sony WH1000 XM2 headphones for a year now, and they are very well on the bar with Bose.
Having also used the QC 35-s, and the update to the sony XM series, the WH 1000 XM3, I'd recommend sony. The XM3's noise cancelling is just something from totally other class.
And the touch controls aren't nothing inaccessible, you'd just sswipe up down, left and right on one earcup to raise lower volume or switch tracks.
What makes the sony WH1000 noise canceling technology superior to the Bose QC35? you say it "is just something from totally another class."
I can't imagine it being far superior to Bose technology.
I've read that the microphone in the sony headset is very bad if I want to talk to someone else.
How is it with that?
I don't want the headset if I can't answer calls and speak to someone else.
Hmmmm, I didn't know you could just pair the QC35 2 without having to set up with Bose Connect app first. I had the first gen QC35s and loved them for the most part but one thing I hated was the audio quality was horrible for VOIP calls (Skype or FaceTime). The Beats X I replaced them with are much better for that. I was also looking for something a bit more portable, so I went with inear headphones. Since you're looking at noise cancelling over ear headphones, have you considered the Beats Studio 3s? Say what you want about the supposed "Beats sound", but I think they have some things that would make me at least consider them. Since Beats is owned by Apple now, they just work with your Apple devices; no separate app necessary. They also have the awesomeness of the w1 bluetooth chip. My beats X stay connected in places where my QC35s would drop, even in my small studio apartment.
If I was you, I would wait for the 700.
I have a Bose Soundtouch 300 with subwoofer and rear surround speakers. I recently purchased an Amazon Echo Dot. I love the Bose and the sound quality, but it is a little cumbersome using the Soundtouch app. Maybe the new version will be easier to work with.

I want a Bluetooth headset .
 Wich one should I buy . sony or the bose headphones .
 I know that sony has touch . is it easy ?
 I have the Bose QC35 head phones , so I would recommend Bose .
 They have a 3 way switch on the back of the right ear cup . It goes bottom portion of the button : volume down , middle of the 3 way switch play / pause / change the track , and the top is volume up . On the middle of the right ear cup is a switch . If you push it one position it powers on the head set . If you push it past the on position it cycles through the devices you have paired to the head phones . Holding the switch in the most forward position for several seconds will allow the device to be ready to pair . All of these functions are accomplished with voice prompts so you know what you are doing and what device to try and connect to .
 On the back of the left ear cup is a button that cycles between full noise cancellation , partial noise cancellation and no noise cancellation . You can simply pair this head set as a blue tooth device and do not need to download the Bose App . I had difficulty using the app , but quickly realized its easy to pair the head phones .
 The app primarily deals with equalization , turning off the voice prompts of the head phones , etc . I was not able to get past the agreement portions of the app so I just paired the QC35 's as you would pair any other blue tooth device .
 One cautionary note regarding this product I did not know until afterwards is it does not use a standard 3.55 MM head phone jack for wired devices . It is a smaller standard than 3.55 mm to a 3.55 mm jack which is the standard head phone jack . You either have to buy a wired cable from Bose if you want a replacement or more than one . Or you can go on amazon and buy a very cheap adapter to allow you to use any standard 3.55 male to male head phone chord . That 's the only negative I have found regarding the QC35 headphones . Overall they are fantastic and the noise canceling technology is incredible . If you do buy this head set you will be amaze how superior it is to knock off brands .
 I can not say much about Sony head phones . I personally am not a fan of the brand and other blue tooth accessories I have heard do not sound nearly as good as a premium brand like Bose or JBL . I would highly recommend the QC35 's .
 Been using the sony WH1000 XM2 headphones for a year now , and they are very well on the bar with Bose .
 Having also used the QC 35 - s , and the update to the sony XM series , the WH 1000 XM3 , I 'd recommend sony . The XM3 's noise cancelling is just something from totally other class .
 And the touch controls are n't nothing inaccessible , you 'd just sswipe up down , left and right on one earcup to raise lower volume or switch tracks .

He normally wears a peasant hat and carries a large bag of treasures. This particular clay doll, unlike many others, is made from a solid clay, not hallow. It still keeps a fair amount of original paint, except the areas that were rubbed off. Ca. Early to mid 1900s.

Expansion of the container rail terminal Burchardkai complete. Pic: Hafen Hamburg Marketing e.V.
Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) has completed a project to expand the rail facilities at its Container Terminal Burchardkai in the Port of Hamburg.
Two extra tracks and two new rail gantry cranes have been added to the rail terminal at the Container Terminal Burchardkai (CTB), which was one of the largest terminals in Europe even before this expansion. The rail terminal now has ten tracks. It previously had eight.
The longest trains permitted (measuring in at 740 metres) can be processed on every track. The second of the new cranes went into operation on 18 January. It is the fourth crane operating on the terminal in total and the final component of the expansion.
The expansion increases the rail terminal’s capacity by approx. 200,000 standard containers (TEU) to around 850,000 TEU per year. Since 2010, annual rail throughput at CTB has grown by almost 50 percent.
Simultaneously, the share of rail transport in the total container volume at the Port of Hamburg increased markedly between 2010 and 2017 from 36.5 percent to 42.8 percent. This makes Hamburg the largest rail port in Europe by far.
HHLA also intends to invest in the expansion of its terminal facilities and in the extension of intermodal transport and handling capacities in the future, said a release.
