- Hi guys, I'm Paul and I am a travel nurse. I've done about seven travel contracts now and I want to share the top three things I dislike about travel nursing. I hope this is helpful to anyone thinking about becoming a travel nurse or debating whether it's the right fit for you!

Yes conversations with recruiters can be very anxiety inducing.
I've made posts in a facebook group and my recruiter has then rung me out about it.
There's definitely mistrust, which is what i spoke about. Recruiters aren't helping you out of the goodness of their hearts. So you have to negotiate and be a hardball. Like a lawyer lol
LOL I agree! It’s rough out here
Thank you for your honest review of travel nursing. Very much appreciated! I always consider the pros and cons. Thank you for your good insight.
Of course! Glad I could help ♥️
One bad thing about travel nursing is getting furnished housing. Most apartments complexes do not honor month to month leases, it depends on the city where the hospital is located. You had a very informative video.
We stayed in a lot of Furnished Finders housing! Had a great experience and made it easily to stay in places short-term
If I’m doing traveling, I will do local especially if I’m in a big city
Local travel nursing can be an option and a lot of ppl actually do it. Stipends can be taxed if you’re doing local though since you’re only staying in one place.
thank u so much for this informative video!!! ✨💫
Of course bb!! Thank you so much for watching🥰♥️
Can you recommend agencies & hospitals that you like? And how long have you been a nurse?
Hi Kimberly, I’m putting out a video next week on the agencies I do and don’t recommend! And I’ve been a nurse for 3.5 years now.
Hi 👋 I was watching some of your UA-cam videos about travel nursing. I am studying nursing in Greece and I am thinking to be a travel nurse when I will finish college. If you don’t mind I would like to ask you some questions.
I know that you have to be at least 1,5 year experienced , can I work 1,5 year in Greece and then to come to America ? Or I have to work 1,5 year in America ?
Also I want to do that to get some money and buy a house. Do you think that I can save enough money for a house if I work as a travel nurse for 2-3 years? And how much you think that I can save yearly ?
Hi Maria! I’m not exactly sure with how much experience you need coming from Greece, but I’ve met nurses before from the UK and became nurses here in the US. They said the charting system and way of nursing is completely different and they had to learn A LOT.
When it comes to buying a house, it depends which area in America you want to purchase in. Houses can vary in prices!! For example, houses in Florida can be around $300,000 and in California, around $800,.000.
I am able to save a lot of money with travel nursing and can purchase a house if I would like. I hope this info helps!
The amount of money you can save as a travel nurse also varies because contracts can range from $1,000-10,000 per week so it’s up to you how much you want to earn!
@@SRNAPaul thank you very much !
It’s travel nursing worth it with the housing situation? Like you have to post for you home where you actually live, and housing where you are traveling.
yes, if the contract is offering good money and you think that it's worth the cost of living. It truly depends on the area and your financial situation
You mentioned stipends can be taxed if you stay local. Would they still be taxed if I work in the same state. For example, if I live in Fresno, CA and go to work in Sacramento, CA or San Fransisco, CA will I still receive same amount of stipend (non-taxed) as someone from out of state. Because if not, I may think about moving to a state with lower housing prices and then travel to California from there lol.
Hello Adarsh, I mentioned stipends are untaxed. You only get the stipend if you are not local. You DO NOT get the stipend if you stay local.
In order to receive the weekly stipend, you need to be able to show that you are paying for TWO homes. You sign in your contract that for tax purposes, you can get a stipend because you’re doubling your expenses.
It has to be out of 50 miles of your home to get the stipend. So look at how many miles your home is from the hospital you want to get a contract in. You can get the stipend if it’s more than 50 miles away.
Hope this helps♥️
@@SRNAPaul thank you so much for the quick response and yes. I get it now.
@@SRNAPaulso for the stipends do you get to keep whatever you don’t spend?
I'm in the situation right now. I'm on the verge of crying because I thought I would have started already n the facility giving me the run around. I already got the housing I just feel like they won't approve me n I am devastated
I'm so sorry to hear that. It is devastating and even more so if you lose your money. I hope it works out for you and if it doesn't go through, I hope you find another option!
Never pay for rental fee until you have a start date. I opt for an hotel my first few weeks just in case something changes then i looked for a place the remainder of my contract.
@@nurseish882 I did have a start date i was suppose to start April 7 n I went down on the 4th. I still haven't started yet. I'm looking at a contract in Connecticut with huffmasters so hopefully everything works out. Do you think they will reimburse me?
@@xeniastephenson8076 as long as it was in the contract or you can ask to be reimbursed for your time. Always look over contracts prior signing and you have a schedule orientation. I would definitely do a hotel or airbnb for the first 3wks. Plus , check the type of hospital and the number of beds , it would also let you know how bad they need nurses. I always stick with Trauma level one hospital because they always need nurse. Good luck . Hope this help.
So they can cancel you, what do you do when that happens?
Unfortunately, you have to find another contract. You can choose to stay with your agency to find another one or look at other agencies and pick for yourself
Don’t they have Like early cancellation clause in contract?
@@dee007noche Some contracts might. Personally, I’ve only seen “The facility or agency can cancel your contract at anytime” on my contracts. It can also state “Either you or the facility can cancel”.
then go home, no work no pay 😂
🎉
🥰🫶🏼
do you live in hotels and eat out a lot
I’ve stayed in short term rentals, airbnbs, & hotels! I always had a place with a kitchen so I was able to cook at home.
