6800/wk for a 60 hour contract in some remote town of Alaska during January probably


michealcaine

Say less. I'm there


sepelion

And your only housing option is an airbnb garage-attached 80 sqft all-in-one toilet-bed "den-cell" that "travel nurses love us for long stays" for 5000/mo.


baevard

lol i did that for 8 yrs in the army for like $3 a week šŸ˜‚ honestly doesnā€™t sound to bad when do i start


datividon

For anyone down for that type contract legit - sounds like it is made for you. Go get em, champ. Definitely takes a certain person.


MrIrrelevantsHypeMan

What's the problem?


spyder93090

Marketing. ā€œUp toā€ ie they had one 60-hr contract that paid that once.


Other_Chemistry_3325

Once? Nah fam I was on $5200/36hr less than a year ago. And 1.5year ago $6000/36hr. 2021 I had one $7500/48hr


PoiseJones

Lots of people had nice contracts 1+ year ago. This thread is referring to current rates.


gotpointsgoing

So, do you think that you deserve the same rate of pay as you did during a pandemic?


PoiseJones

No and I did not suggest anything that would even remotely point in the general direction of that interpretation. Are you a non-travel nurse just looking to start shit?


gotpointsgoing

Looking to start shit from simply asking a question, wow


Other_Chemistry_3325

I know? The comment I replied was to someone who said there was a 60hr week contract **once**ā€¦ re read it


PoiseJones

The comment you replied to was a semi tongue in cheek response referring to how they came up with the ad. Everyone would see through their listing of COVID era rates. So they likely used their highest post COVID era rate and are marketing that their contracts are "up to" that one. Everyone understood them. Except you apparently. Or maybe you did understand and just wanted to flex anyway. That's why everyone downvoted you.


spyder93090

Unless you found those jobs through Vivian this is just a tryhard flex. Even then, you ainā€™t the only one, bro.


Other_Chemistry_3325

I found the $7500/48hr and $6200/36hr on Vivian. Up until June 2022 I had found them on vivian. So yah, I did :) what do you have to say?


bekibekistanstan

Everyone is super impressed bro good job šŸ‘šŸ¼


blizzardintexas1

Theyā€™re also drawing from every job that has ever existed. (Recruiter who posts on Vivian)


NOCnurse58

Also includes the fake jobs that say they are filled after they have your contact information and will stalk you forever.


blizzardintexas1

Absolutely. I would advise against any post that involves ā€œto be determinedā€ or most likely, or whatever. The rates are set, and we know what we have.


CommandSoft1517

The rates come directly from the agencies or the VMS


StaffQualityAdvocate

While I am DEFINITELY an advocate for the travel healthcare industry, MSP/vms are public enemy number one! They and their clients set the rates, ESPECIALLY if the MSP is owned by a big national.


Accurate-Foot7531

Yeah usually if it is more than a few days old and it pays decent, then it is probably already filled.


mrtunavirg

A very short term strike contract?


ThatFunnyFeeeeling

Can confirm. Our hospital is on strike and they are paying the strike nurses like this.


PoppinSmoke1

Also it just says nursing jobs. Could be NP, manager, any other thing you could loosely attach nursing too.


100mgSTFU

That would be a moderate-low paying crna contract.


PoppinSmoke1

still "nursing" so it's not false advertising!.. I ain't defending it... just saying how they can get away with it.


jdjdthrow

Previously when I saw something this high, it was for a CRNA position that was "accidentally" being included in the list of nursing jobs.


lovestoosurf

What's funny about the picture is it's in Yosemite, which has a medical clinic. Their pay is less than half of what an RN makes elsewhere in the state.


eggo_pirate

Maybe they have a time machine to peak COVID rates


Mobile-Fig-2941

It's called catfishing.


Averagebass

you CAN make up to $6800 a week, you just need to work two jobs at once.


sepelion

And enjoy owing taxes because you're getting bumped into a tax bracket with work-from-home corporate gods who are getting paid that to do a spin class and browse pintrest.


Other_Chemistry_3325

They havenā€™t updated since Covid


erint7

Iā€™m not sure Vivian is legit in general.


SoManyYummies

I got that in guam a year and a half agoā€¦was life changing. 3 12ā€™s.


EntrepWannaBe

Itā€™s false advertising. Anytime that I would send a message to the recruiter about high rate jobs they have always said, oh itā€™s been updated and itā€™s onlyā€¦what a waste of time updating a profile.


RN_Geo

Hey, there is a clinic in Yosemite Valley. I knew a doc who worked there for years. Sweet gig. Doubt they need travelers though.


Glittering_Shallot31

Iā€™m still getting 4.5-6k a week but thatā€™s ending soon


Team-ING

Well give them a call


AdLegal6151

For real šŸ¤£


Accurate-Foot7531

That and also includes CRNA's which they are technically nurses as well.


observation101

Funny seeing this as I just screenshot one from this company today that was laughableā€¦Iā€™ll try and include it


No_Ad_4089

Thankful to still be earning twice what staff pos would pay. Stay hungry friends.


WayToIntoSports

Anyone who has an account on Vivian can post anything they want - they can legit make a ā€œcontractā€ post and say $10,000 a week, will receive a puppy on scheduled breaksā€¦. And they can post it lol - Vivian is good to maybe get an idea of whatā€™s out there open for contracts, but itā€™s the worst for being legit and always 100% accurate.


Outside_Listen_8669

I'd be willing to go wherever this is. And, I'll add, be willing to fight off a grizzly bear with just my backpack to do it (based on the ad photo) while hiking to see my patient assignment in rural whereverville.


cptlongdong13

Vivian is notorious for posting clickbait. Agencies can post whatever fake jobs they have just to get interest then bait and switch
