    Can you talk more about income, how to register as business in terms of taxes, about different hospital charting systems, about the licenses like alberta or nova scotia getting reimbursed, as well all the ACL PALS etc things they ask for? Im an ER nurse and im frightened to start a travel nursing position because of paper charting alone since I am so used to working with EMARS

    Hi there! Thank you for these questions. I can absolutely talk to you more about these things.If you are working with multiple agencies, it's worth incorporating yourself. But if you're only working with one client, then that might raise a flag with CRA so I suggest working with multiple agencies throughout the year. But of course, this isn't a legal advice--I suggest consulting with an accountant. Charting systems - each hospital will be different, so you just have to get used to asking the staff questions. You'll get orientation in each hospital, so you won't be completely lost. The orientation can be annoying since it's pretty boring. Paper charting is fun! It's much easier than electronic since it's basically "chart by exception." One of "day in the life as a travel nurse" video shows clips of paper charting so if you want to check that out. Licenses - it's not the hospital that will reimburse you. It's going to be the agency (if they do). Most agencies won't reimburse you. But, if you are incorporated, then you can expense these licenses as "business expense" so that will help lower your tax too when you file for it. I've never worked in Alberta. When I worked in Nova Scotia, they were granting free licenses to the RNs so I also didn't have to pay. But if I did, I couldn't have reimbursed it through my agency. ACLS/PALS/Certs - This will be facility dependent, and how desperate they are. Depending on your specialty, it looks good on your resume, and also you'll feel more confident going into your assignments. I took TNCC and CTAS to feel more prepared. Also, the costs for these can also be expensed if you incorporate yourself. So if you're planning to do this for at least two years, I think incorporation is worth it. But again, consult with an accountant! Overall, I know it can be a scary journey. But as an ER nurse, you've dealt with a lot scarier things than paper charting. If you know how to work with people, and do your job as a nurse, you'll be okay. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.

    Hi there! Congratulations on that decision. I'd recommend doing a minimum of 1 year in your choice of specialty since you don't get a lot of orientation as a travel nurse. You only get 2 days of orientation sometimes, so they will expect you to know what to do as a nurse. As a new grad, I'd be terrified to become a travel nurse so I'd get as much experience as possible. Travel nursing will always be there! Never risk your license.

I am very close to my 2 year mark now (1 year 9 months). I have a BSN, BLS, ACLS, PALS, NIH, ENPC, and taking TNCC now. 10 applications and not one interview :( I know there are way more experienced ER nurses out there, but damn it's discouraging to feel like I'm not even being considered.

    Hi Rina! I'm not sure if Canada pays nurses more. I believe it's a combination of the travel agency and the location you go to. Remote areas don't attract as many nurses, so the pay will be higher. And we also get taxed a lot more. We don't have stipends like the US, although our accommodation is (usually) paid for. You also have the US dollar conversion too so that is automatically more. When I calculated the amount of $$ you'd get, it's quite comparable. Our full-time hours are also about 3-4 shifts a week. I've heard that nursing in the USA is so much better so I wouldn't move just for the $$. We do a lot more as nurses as well-- we don't have as many resources like ecg tech, lab techs, nursing assistants, etc. (Some hospitals do, but not many).

    A few questions: - What are the “assignments” like? Are they simple? - Since you take really long breaks, how do you remember all of the information? I’m really new to all of this, so sorry if my questions are off lol. I’m at the end of my senior year, confused about what I want to do in my life. I think nursing overall would be a safe bet, but I’ve looked into becoming a CRNA, anesthesiologist, NP, etc. (even started looking into real estate), and I think a travel nurse would be really cool, especially if there’s so much free time (which is what I value the most- that’s why medical school intimidates me). Traveling the world and focusing on my writing/creative side is so important to me, so I think this is so awesome.

    Hi there! Thank you for watching and these insightful questions. 1. The assignments can vary depending on where you are and when you go. Mental health units and medicine units is fairly "simple" because they're pretty straightforward once you get used to it. Being in the ED is a bit more complex, but much more exciting. It depends on what you're looking for or craving for in your career. 2. Since I take really long breaks, I don't remember all the information. I make sure to review the most important things before my assignments so reviewing "emergency situations" and what I would do. You have plenty of resources when you become a nurse, and a lot of certifications need to be renewed every year or every couple of years. So you have those books with you and you can brush up on those things. This is ALSO why you have to have a solid foundation before you become a travel nurse (2 years on your desired specialty so the information can come back easy and fast). Try to get into hard-core situations like ED and ICU in your first two years as a new grad so you can be confident asap when you become a travel nurse. In my opinion, those are the two areas that will prep you the best. But of course, OR nursing, and other specialties are equally important and are in demand. Travel nursing would definitely give you the lifestyle that you want especially if you know what you value, which I love for you. When I was in grade 12, I didn't have that insight. All I cared about was my career. Being an MD/anesthesiologist can be fulfilling or rewarding if you're willing to sacrifice a lot of money and time in the beginning. You can always pursue the creative side on the side regardless of what career you choose. I always thought that MDs (in the hospital) had way less flexibility than nurses. Nurses' schedule #1 PRO is flexibility even if you're full-time. Anyways, hope this helps. What else would you like to know or see...maybe I can create more of those videos especially if it interests you! :D

    hi there! thanks for clarifying. So I actually made a mistake in the video because for that specific assignment, I actually started earning $90 per hour. and it’s for the *entire* assignment (and NOT two weeks) so that was my bad. anyways, here’s the breakdown of the paycheque: Oct 2 - 14: 4 x 12-hour shifts + 2 x 8-hr shifts (11.25 x 4 x $90) + (7.5 x 2 x $90) = $5400. Oct 15 - 28 12 x 12-hour shifts in total = 80 hours is regular time and the rest is OT rate which is 1.5x. 11.25 x 80 x $90= $7200 55 OT hrs x $135 = $7425 on calls (can’t remember the rate) total: $14,625 total overall: $20,025 there will be some discrepancy because of on call rates and also food allowance which was $40 per day. anyway, I hope this makes better sense! :)

    Hi Jerine, I was just wondering... Has the pay rate for travel nurses go down, since COVID is calming down?

    Hi there! It honestly depends on which province you go to! So in Canada, there's not a lot of supply of travel nurses. So the pay rate is still pretty good!

    @jeriineniicole Thank you! I am trying to follow your path. I hope my language skills will land me the big paying jobs. I am in the US, and the pay rate is decreasing. I am looking to do off-shore or international travel nursing.
