  3. I miss my NEPTUNE

    :down:So, how about you? Has the recall reached your part of the country? Though the first recall was awhile ago, there was a reprieve at my last assignment in Anchorage, from Nov thru April. Now this month, they are gone here in Seattle. I know ...
  4. I have experience with NovaPro, currently working a contract with them. As Ned says, the databases are shared across the brands. Same jobs and same profiles. When I was with another company - Sagent - several recruiters from NovaPro and Med Staff ...

  10. Orientation period- strange requirements, is this legal?

    Good for you for getting your first treatment done safely on your first day. The hours your expected to work - or the 2 treatments per day were in your contract weren't they? Hope so. Don't know how you can object if you didn't have it clearly spe...
  11. Medication access: nurse or tech?

    I'm wondering how many of my OR coworkers share medication access (pyxis or other)? Just RNs or both RNs and techs? At my current assignment the surgical techs have been given access and responsibility to obtain meds for the surgical field. That w...
  12. Question to travelers required to take call

    Willi, I take call for the OR. I'm paid the same as the staff are here in FL. $3 and time and half call back. That's typical. What I made fulltime job before travel. Not sure why your recruiter doesn't know this up front (RED FLAG) What's the pos...
