   Yes I definitely will. Interesting that I talked with 2 recruiters today. One of which I was referred to by a long time travel nurse and he said he couldn't advise me on any tax information (understandable) but on the flip side he was in such a rush ...

   Thank you for that information NedRN. I have done more research today. Ironically I received a call from one of the agencies that was mentioned by you. And received even more valid information from a recruiter. Prior companies I talked with didn't me...

   Understandable. I mostly went with that company due to highway hypodermics ratings. But I now do realize and have been reading many posts from blogs, your post, other forums etc. However, being my first time, do you have at least a couple reputable o...

   I was also received the same amount from Flexcare. The location was in Dallas and Houston, TX for a telemetry nights position. Between them and two other companies I talked with, that pay package was comparable. I've been submitted by one company alr...

    Blessedone1 replied to chivon101's topic in Travel

    Is anyone using Aya? I'm from the east coast, think I want to try out Texas or GA and eventually make it to Cali. I told my recruiter to get back with me in February. Think I may travel for a year, then apply to grad schools.

    Hello ladies! I've been debating on travel nursing vs going back to school for masters. I'm 23 and will have 2 years tele/med-surg experience in July. I think its time for me to venture off. I still live with my parents, I'm single and I work in the ...
