Best Travel Nurse Agency


I am thinking about doing some travel nursing and I would love some input from EXPERIENCED TRAVEL NURSES as which one is fair, pays well and can get you assignments you WANT. I am thinking I would just do an 8 week assignment for starters.

You will get all kinds of responses on which agencies are the best. It really does depend on what you are looking for and what your priorities are. Typically you will sacrifice in one area, for instance: Typically, if you want a great location, you will get less pay. If you want great pay, you may have to go somewhere that wasn't on top of your list.

8 week assigments are somewhat hard to come by as certain agencies don't place for less than 13 weeks, but you can always ask. Also, you may not get your choice location on an 8 week assigment.

You might post more specifics about what is important to YOU and where YOU want to go, how much experience you have and in what area(s). Might get you more informative responses.

Be aware that most 8 week assignments only place you in a motel, or extended stay type facility. You normally will not get an apt with that length of contract, no matter the agency.

I have not worked with them before, so I don't know how good they are, but I do see a lot of 8-week assignments with Fastaff & CRU-48.

Fastaff has 8 week assignments (some are 13 weeks) and high rates. But, as stated before you will most likely be in an extended stay hotel and their benefit package is expensive
