Question Should I do Agency?

Totally put my my question in the wrong place. Sorry about that. I am new to the site and wasn't thinking!!
I will be moving soon and really want to do agency nursing, but am concerned about my experience level. I am an LPN with 4 years of experience. It includes Med/Surg, LTC and currently working in a general surgery clinic that also floats me to the ENT and OB/GYN clinics.
My major duties include V/S; saline locks; the odd catherization; wound care that includes the wound vac; assisting with EGD/Colonoscopies; assisting with minor surgery; care of the post-op patient after discharge from the hospital.
Is this enough experience or would I be better off working PRN for a specific hospital?
I do not want to bite off more than I can chew.
Any input would be appreciated.

Re: Should I do Agency?

i think it sounds like you will be fine. it seems like you have a good amount of experience. i work agency in LTC and most of the time, i think a monkey can do it. that's a darn shame.
