Hi there
Canadian RN HBScN worked in ICU many years looking to start travelling with a 4 week assignment to start. Have my NCLEX and Minnesota license. Waiting on Visa Screen, all info in. What companies offer 4 week assignments and are they ok? looking to escape cold and snow--hopefully Arizona, California or Florida

Hi

Canadian RN travelling and loving it! 4-weekers are hard to find. But you could try A&A nursing as they have packages to suit a 4 week need. They pay $45/hr with time and half after 8 hours if you pay for everything. If you want housing they can help you out and take it out of the check. I go and work my butt off for 3=-4 weeks then come home and have 6 weeks off
1-877-296-3160

Also Epic does short term I am curently on 6 weeker with them and I know the ICU at the very small hospital I am at is need of travellers. You do realize that you can travel before you get the visa screen -- you can travel until July under a TN visa, unnless that changes again to later deadline as I am sure it will. Epic number is 1-800-943-7428 With this company I am getting 36/hr flat rate a car and housing stipend of 1600 tax free for us. Feel free to email me if you need more info about anything at all

hi there obrn5
thanks for your reply, I would like to get more info from you. cannot post a private message to you. where are you working now? did you bring a spouse or significant other with you? I would like to bring my husband. what is the housing like? furnished? do I have to supply linen, kitchen items etc? I've heard that some companies provide vehicles also? how many hours are you committed to per week ? any malpractice insurance? so many questions, so little time.
thanks again

I just got an email from accessnurses.com promoting 3-4 week assignments you might want to contact one of their recruiters for more info. I know they will help you out with housing and some of your utilities. Not so sure about the vehicle. I believe they have quite a few opportunities in Ca and Az.

Hi Honey
I have spoken with Access nurses with regards to their 4 week assignments. They work it so that you have to do 4-6 shifts per week at various hospitals within a 30 minute radius of your home. Sounds to me like a per diem placement but I guess if you want to make money, it's one way to go. Don't know what I think of that, as I haven't travelled anywhere but have a few questions, like orientation, even for 1 shift? doesn't sound like it to me. maybe I'm wrong and should check into it.
