Difference between travel and agency??

In my experience in the past.....I worked for an "agency" as a traveling nurse....but most recently I worked as an "agency" nurse locally....In order to work as a "traveler" you obviously have to be hired by an agency, they would be considered your employer....regardless of where you are working.....there are some agencies that you can get the benefits of a traveling nurse with only working 60 miles or more away from your home...and still get the benefits of being a traveling nurse (ie- housing and travel allotments)...each agency is different, so if you are thinking about doing this look into all of them, because their benefits can differ tremendously....
