  1. Providence Medical Center KC Kansas

    Providence has a very poor reputation in the KC area. They really need to learn how to staff the place. It's bad.
  2. Select Specialty Hospital in Kansas

    They've gone downhill big time over the last 9 months. I used to work there for my agency, but they decided to go exlusive with a new upstart agency that undercut pay. Since then, the place has been a joke to the career agency nurses in town. Some...
  3. Starting a Staffing Agency

    What I've told you may at first glance seem "wrong" to you, but if you take the time to do your research, you'll find it's quite the contrary. I can speak from experience with regard to giving business advice. People pay me lots of money to do it. ...
  4. Starting a Staffing Agency

    Yes I am. I am also a CPA and professional business consultant with nearly 20 years of experience in corporate compliance, accounting and tax law. I have served as an executive for companies both small and large. I've also been a business owner fo...
  5. Starting a Staffing Agency

    The choice to form a limited liability entity depends on many factors, and indeed some small business owners are perfectly fine operating as sole props rather than a more "formal" entity. Forming a limited liability entity is a fairly simple thing t...
  6. The best way to learn about agencies is to work in the office of one. Forget the how to books. Once you are working "in" the industry, meaning in the office not as an agency nurse, you'll have a chance to decide if it's right for you. You may find...
  7. Independent contractors negotiating rate

    You negotiate the rate. It's just part of the "sales" process.
  8. Accounts Receivable Factoring?

    Put simply: Don't factor. It will bleed you dry, and you'll likely never catch up with your revolving debt. If you don't have the seed money needed to employ people or at least a solid line of credit from a bank, you really should not even attempt...
  9. Starting a Staffing Agency

    To add to your list of restricted states, off the top of my head: - Kentucky has a licensing requirement specific to nurse staffing. - Illinois requires a physical office in the state. - Florida has a medical staffing license requirement of some so...
  10. Anyone know Liquid Agents?

    Very first post, and it's an endorsement (or at least a strong defending) of the company. I smell a shill. Anyone else?
  11. Which agency does the VA use.

    They actually do both. I'd suggest contacting your local VA's purchasing office and simply asking them who they use for staffing help.
  12. Have your own malpractice insurance?

    Nurseynightnight - I'm going to say this for your sake and any others with this belief. There is no other way I can put this except... THAT IS THE WORST ADVICE SOMEONE COULD EVER GIVE YOU. Your instructor had no business saying that. He/She's not...
  13. How to Find an Agency?

    In my opinion, word of mouth is by far the best way to find a quality agency. The amount an agency advertises says very little. They may have tons of openings, they may have trouble holding on to their people, they may have a huge coporate purse or...
  14. How do you know if Agency Nursing is for you?

    For me, it goes something like this. My 5 reasons for (and against) working agency: 1.) If you want flexibility in work schedules, agency is a plus. I like to go on a lot of vacations throughout the year. Sometimes, I may be gone for up to 20 days...
  15. Salary vs. Hourly?

    Hah! It all depends on which method pays more of course. :wink2:
