In this episode, we talk about how valuable the knowledge travelers receive from hospital to hospital is, and how so often it goes unused.  It's truly a shame that so many managers don't utilize this resource.  The possibilities of a cross-educated network, significantly assisted by travelers is truly something that needs to be discussed, and of course... we will.  "Traveler wisdom"...  maybe the more people that listen and share this, we could make a significant improvement to the entire healthcare system!

It's Mark's favorite topic this week... "The Pie."  We've talked about the concept that your total compensation is completely based upon an all-inclusive bill rate that serves as "the pie."  How that pie is sliced up incudes vendor fees, taxes, and the agency's profit margin.  the rest, is what's left for you, the traveler.  Today we break this down fully, as requested by so many of you.  Here you go everyone... here's your episode... "The Pie!"

This is the 2nd in a 3-part series on "Travel Insiders" that all deal with the end of an assignment... prematurely.  In today's podcast we talk about the commonality of being terminated and how it makes some travelers feel.  It is really YOUR fault?  Does it affect your desire to secure another position?  Des it make you feel like you're not a great nurse or allied professional?  We discuss how to cope with all of these emotions that so many travelers face due to an early termination.

We are the only podcast that to date, is willing to tackle this one!  Recruiters have "tricks" that they use to get you to talk to them, get paperwork back to them, get you to allow them to submit you, and even to take an assignment with them.  In today's episode we go over many of these tactics that recruiters use to get you to engage with them.  Mark has over 20 years of experience and has personally trained literally thousands of successful recruiters.  Give this episode a listen to hear what you may already know, but probably haven't really put a lot of thought into.

On today's episode we talk about a traveler's spiritual health. It doesn't always mean "religious health."  Being spiritual is a state of mind that allows you to become a better version of yourself.  So, how do you maintain your "spirituality" while on the road?  How do you stay involved with your church?  How do you gain spiritual health while being somewhat isolated?  We do our best to cover all of these topics.

In today's episode we talk about leadership, and how being a "leader" isn't always correlated with being a "manager."  How can you learn to be a leader?  How to use the leadership qualities that you were born with?  We also go over some important qualities that make a good leader and how to recognize them.

Resume's are still one of the primary items in your profile that can often mean getting the phone call or being skipped.  Even if you are a veteran traveler, you still need to pay some attention to your resume'.  In today's episode, we go over some of the common areas we hear about from hiring managers and why they will sometimes pass on an individual even with strong experience.  This is an area that can drastically improve what you "look like on paper."  We hope there is some value in what we hear from the "insiders" standpoint.

Have you ever read something, (usually on social media) about travel that made you scratch your head and think "I wonder if that is really true?"  In today's episode we go over some of the most common myths we see surrounding our industry today.  Typically they are simply passed on from one person posting to another, and so on down the line.  We do our best to "bust" some of the ones we have recently seen the most and do out best to explain why they were created, and why they are simply... a myth.

Ever wonder what it's like to be brand-spanking new in this industry and have the financial and emotional happiness of a traveler in your hands.... AND literally NOT know what your'e doing?  Well, unfortunately ALL recruiters are new at one point, but what can their "green-ness" cost you?  Plenty. In today's episode we talk frankly about "new" recruiters and how you need to be very careful putting a lot of your career into their fresh hands.  It could cost you more than you know.
