HELP - NEW TRAVEL NURSE
Let me start with saying that I am not the nurse, but my partner is. She was an LVN for around 11 years, but graduated from RN school last year. She has almost one year as an RN and is now interested in travel nursing. I have two questions I hope you can help with.
1. Agencies...
She has a blemish on her record (misdemeanor for a hot check - long story but it was over 7 years ago) she was recently told by AMN healthcare that they basically didn't want anything to do with her (they have several companies including Nurses RX). She has several other options, but I want to know whom should she go with. I have read about several agencies on here, and we are confused. I don't want to share housing or get messed around. We need help and advice.
2. MOVING...
What do we take with us??? We know not to take a lot, but obviously we do not want to use the linens they provide.
We are talking about taking electronics, linens, a few cooking tools/pots and some personal effects. Anything that we are missing or don't need to take? Any advice would be appreciated.
bad check
you may need to have the record ex-punged. You can petition the courts for this to be done. I am unsure if you can get this removed. I wish you luck. Traveling can be fun or a horror. It depends on who you end up with....Take care

Actually the linens my company supplies have been ok. i still brought my own comforter, pillows and favorites. I had to go out and buy a non stick skillet as the one they supplied was stainless and it stuck. They do not supply blenders usually and you can pick up a good used one at the thrift store, bleach it and use it then donate it when leaving! if you are into frosty drinks. Good Luck, it has been a great experience so far I am going to my 3rd assignment! Millijm
