Seeking the Holy Grail of Agencies- can you help?

Well, after reading your post, I envisioned you as the Don Quixote of travel nurses, singing "The Impossible Dream" Sorry-just couldn't help saying it.

I think the area you are in has a decent agency called Sagent. They have a good reputation; but, the key will be to find a seasoned recruiter. If I recall correctly, one of the seasoned recruiters that's mentioned is named Drennan McSomething.

I also think that in CT, there's Onward; but, although they understand what the nurse is looking for, their pay can fluctuate, depending on the area.

Good luck with your quest... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZE4KGB6Wt4
(BTW, it's one of my favorite songs, so no ridicule is intended-I admire your determination)

I have worked for several agencies in several states...sometimes...the same agency but a different office...I really feel that the quality of an agency seems to be the office staff more than anything else...
Ex....my current agency...in upstate NY...they seem to hold good staff...but the office down in Tallahassee,FL...Oh, my God...never again...morons!
This can matter more than the particular benefits...if you can't get good work because of the staff is too disorganized what good are the benefits...
