Highway Hypodermics: Travel Nursing 2019

by Epstein LaRue, Kay Slane, Joseph Smith

Travel nursing is a great way to make a living while traveling around the United States, but the path to move healthcare is cluttered with fear and apprehension. People are scared that they are not going to get that elusive first assignment. People don't understand bill rates, VMSs, MSPs, cancellations or contract negotiations. Then you have the tax laws which really send people into a tailspin. It is just not right that nurses have to go into the world of travel nursing with blinders. Kay started travel nursing 15 years ago when there was one book out and two forums, and three websites for information. Times have changed, and so has the information world. Today there is grundle of websites to help travelers out, but how do you know which ones will give you reliable and trustworthy information. Kay has spent the last ten years teaching recruiters what travelers want in a company and teaching travelers what they should expect while out on the road. She is a leader in this industry and a vital member of the travel nursing community. Whether you're an experienced or a newbie traveler, this is the most comprehensive book on travel healthcare. Epstein not only teaches on the basics of finding great assignments but goes further into explaining the travel company structure, the art of negotiating contracts, compact states, the Joint Commission, NATHO, BKAT testing and PBDS testing. This is the only book series that has full chapters on Allied Health and LPN/LVN travel along with traveling with pets, homeschooling, and traveling in an RV. Again this year we will have a chapter on working and volunteering in foreign countries by Aaron Highfill, and Joseph Smith brings you the most updated Travel Tax information. Since 2007 every edition of Highway Hypodermics (the book) has gone to #1 on Amazon, beating out other books published by such names as including Mosby, Lippincott, the American Heart Association, and Tabers.
