    Canvas Printing Helps You Lend Your Personal Touch

    Choosing and Using Your Desk
    Whether you are working at home or in the office, your desk is a major key to reducing stress and improving productivity. Make sure that it is not only a place you can function efficiently, but just as important, a place you like to be! A functional desk that is ugly can be as much of a deterrent to productivity as a beautiful desk t
    Several years ago I decided to quit my job as a charge nurse at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital and travel the United States as a travel nurse. The thought of being paid to visit the beaches of Hawaii and California or participate in the culture of New York City had become just too appealing. Looking back, there are several things I wish I had known prior to signing up with my first travel nurse agency. The following includes a checklist of some of the things I wish I had known from the beginning:

    Salary Being a travel nurse is very different from being employed by a hospital. First, travel nurses are paid considerably more hourly than regular hospital staff nurses. Although you may not view it this way, hospitals reward travel nurses with higher hourly pay because of the "sacrifice" the nurse is required to make in uprooting herself or himself from home and family. I didn't necessarily view basking in the Huntington Beach, California sun on my off days as a sacrifice, but that is the way hospitals look at travel nursing.

    Make sure your travel nurse agency is willing to negotiate the highest rate of pay for you before you sign a contract to take a travel nursing assignment. Don't just take the first offer that comes along; you may be able to do better. Remember, travel nurse agencies get paid to fill hospital nursing vacancies. If one agency cannot fill the vacancy, another will. As a result, you need to make sure your agency is working to get you the highest possible hourly rate of pay and not just trying to beat the next agency to fill a vacancy. One suggestion I would make is to check with several different agencies and see which one offers you the highest pay rate. You may even be able to create a bidding war between the agencies for your services.

    Are Consultants Wasting Your Time with your Business Plans?
    I am about to reveal a business consultants trade secret. Most Business Plans don't work. Business Owners either produce a Plan themselves when they launch their business, or pay a consultant to write one for them, but it just ends up, unread and unloved on shelf in a cupboard covered in cobwebs and dust. If you knew that, would you

    Can Ad Agency Creatives Refuse To Work On Certain Products?
    So, you've beaten all the odds and you've gotten into advertising as a creative.Why even ask if ad agency creative can refuse certain projects? Why bring the party down? Because it's very important that you know...before you do.The first few weeks are exciting as you're toiling away on 'real' projects as opposed to the

    Why Hire an Advertising/Marketing Consultant?
    As a business owner, you have the option of taking several different approaches to handling your Marketing and Advertising. You may choose to handle the responsibility yourself, with the idea that no one understands your business quite the way you do.. You may also consider hiring a full time marketing manager or even assigning the t

    The Wonder Down Under: Unusual Exports
    My husband and I attended the Edmonton Home Renovation Show in January (we just bought a new home) and spent some time at a booth with low volume flush toilets. We try to do our part for the environment and were considering a model that has two flush options.I was reading the company literature and noticed that these toilets,

The stipend is often tax free.

    Checklist You may also want to ask these questions to your travel nurse agency: (1) Does the agency guarantee my assignment in writing?; (2) Are my hours guaranteed?; (3) Do I get paid weekly, bi-weekly or monthly?; (4) Does the travel nurse agency pay me or does the hospital?; (5) Will the hospital pay for my move; as is often the case?; and (6) Will the hospital pay a stipend for my housing; as is often the case?
