If any of you guys know the pros and cons of working in a registry as a new grad i would apprecite a info. So far they've offerd me 18 an hour and would only be sent to 3 convalecent homes...I will meet with them on monday to get more info but maybe you guys can help. Thanks in advance.

Most agencies require 1 yr of experience, so this is weird that they are seeking you out as a new grad.

I would be very cautious: as an agency nurse you are truly on your own and must rely on your experience to guide you.
