They have, like, reverse Hapsburg jaws.

Me too! I once slept through an entire party at my own house because I assumed Zyrtec was going to be like Claritin. It was not.

Most of my contracts have been in corrections and LTAC, so I don’t have much insight on specific hospitals. However, based on what I’ve been told by several others, Florida sounds like a bit of a pain to get licensed in. Sorry I’m not very helpful, but happy travels! :)

I’m a member of a travel nurse group on Facebook and there has been a deluge of people reporting that their contracts with the VA have been abruptly cancelled, some mid-contract and others after they’d moved to the location but before starting work. The explanation was “federal hiring freeze.”

That’s an excellent analogy!

Also, I zoomed in super close where the mouthpiece meets the ring and it almost looks like a Waterford mouthpiece. Or some kind of chain... Jaysus.

I know, right?? The only time I’ve seen those in use is by barrel racers/ropers who substitute hardware for being able to ride. It’s never pretty.

Thank you! I know, right? It seems like contracts are kind of not worth the paper they’re printed on anymore based on what I’ve heard from other travelers. Luckily I have a local agent who’s busting ass to get me working, so that makes me feel a bit better.

Southwest Missourah, ditto.

I saw Patterson and knew immediately where you were going with this. Well played!

Up until this very moment I honestly thought it was “are you ill-y”, which I always assumed was some kool kid slang that I didn’t get. Mind= blown.

Omg yaaaaas!!!

I miss pork steak. I’ve looked for it in Texas and now Maryland, and never any luck.

I spent most of my adolescence being embarrassed by my dad refusing to change out of his cowshit/mud splattered jeans before going to town. Turns out the he was a fashion trailblazer.
