Up and running nurse agency needing help

[nicustaffing]

hi all,

this is my first post and i am so happy i found this website!

i need a little help; i have successfully started a travel nurse co and employ 1 nurse (a family member). we just finished our first contract but need some help and ideas on finding another contract. it is a little urgent as i don't want to lose my nurse she will stay as long as i have work. our first contract was fairly simple as it was a local hospital and they needed nurses so it was a done deal. i settled with pay rate at $63.50 per hour which i thought was super successful for my first contract. the local hospitals no longer have a need for our services but am getting a cold shoulder and run around when trying other hospitals even in other states. my nurse has a license in, pa, ca, oh, wv, fl all current.

another thought i had was partnering up with a larger agency since they have there feet in the door even though they will want a % of the contract at least i have work for my nurse, anyone know of any agencys that allow partnering?

btw: we are in pa, started business in december 2008 and first contract was feb 9th 2009

thanks in advance,

jacob
