My goodness. A cousin took a travel assignment at my hospital and got a hotel nearby and had to bail during the night because of noise and gunshots. Thankfully another cousin called me and my mom was able to provide a room until she found a place. Good to hear about experiences with the common rental places. I can't travel at this time but like the idea of getting some real estate and hosting to travelers.

Sonder is good they even have a leasing option you can use and get an even lower rate than the website from a couple months to however long you like. It just gives them the option to take your unit off of the website so you dont have to be contantly booking over and over. The only downside is they will raise the rate on you if you extend so i wish i would have done a 2 year lease. I was paying $1500 for a large loft downtown then after my 6 month lease was up it was $2100 to renew. Now it is $2600 i heard they are telling long term tenants and this is all within under a year lol.

[@stephyRN29zzzz]

If your pocketing housing expenses, what happens if audited? Thought you needed to prove double expenses

[@nursequeen2084]

Sometimes your housing stipend is larger than your actual rent , so you can pocket some of it or stay with someone and pocket all of it

[@taraconoff6727]

If you do stay with someone and take the stipend, you technically can’t pocket all of it. If you get audited and that was the case, you definitely get in trouble. So if you wanna stay with a friend or family member, you should pay them “fair market value” for a room in their place. Which really won’t be that much out of your stipend anyways if you “rent” just a room from them

This is so helpful. I'm a travel Rad tech in cath lab/ IR. There are very few places to help Allied Health people. Do you recommend or have you stayed in extended stays? I'm probably taking a job in Athens Ga and not many choices. The in town suites reviews says they have bed bugs and people do meth outside. No thanks. Furnished finder doesn't have much either. Don't know what to do. Have you ever turned down an offer due to inadequate housing options? Thank you so much!! Subscribed!!

[@nursequeen2084]

Yes I have turned down jobs bc of inadequate housing options. I’m a single , black female , I’m always cautious of the area etc. if you’re traveling alone to an unfamiliar setting , I would recommend an extended stay initially. Peep the scene. Is it safe? Close to work? Clean? And then extend there or pick the brain of other travelers / staff on the unit to find housing options

[@nursequeen2084]

Thanks love! Honestly the only reason I did ADN first was bc that’s how my school offered it. If it’s more affordable to go straight for your BSN do that. But your program of choice has the opportunity to do ADN then bridge to BSN I always recommend that bc you’d be able to make money while bridging over to your BSN

[@JaimeDornanLady]

Get your BSN! It looks good on a resume, & a lot of employers have started requiring it. However, in most places, RN’s w/an ADN make the same as those w/a BSN! The only difference is if you want to go into mgmt. For mgmt., a BSN or MSN is often required. In my 30th year as an RN, BSN!

[@lilamontoya5609]

Doesnt matter Both sit for the same nclex exam Up to you

If you let the company set up your housing, do they usually put you in a nice, furnished place? I worked w/some Traveler’s years ago when I Worked in L&D, & they were all in very nice apts. in the area (Chas., SC). I’ve been out of the hospital for a long time & am considering taking the opportunity to get back in to a hospital, but I’ve heard so many bad things about some of the places, I’m kind of afraid to! I’ve been an RN for 30 yrs. this year, & things have changed so much! Did you have a problem w/being given the really super crummy assignments or schedules on the units you worked in? That used to happen a lot in units I was in if you were a traveler or a floater.
