Thumbs up Re: Help Need info on Agostini Associates
I did a couple contracts with this company and absolutely loved them. Everything was as promised, and their pay was higher than most other travelers I worked with. Housing was top notch, and anything I requested was granted as promised. Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.

Thanks so much for your help. I obviously need help choosing agencies. My last 2 really scr-d me over. I prefer to travel to Phoenix but Have had nightmare assignments with 2 hospitals there. My home is in the midwest but haven't been able to find any decent paying assignments there.

The only thing you need to keep in mnd with Agostini is that they mainly only staff in California. They advertise that they staff all states, but they could never find me a contract anywhere other than Cali. This was the only reason I ended up changing to another company.

If you're looking for something in the midwest, you might try Aureus Medical Staffing www.aureusmedical.com and see what they can find for you. I worked with them for about 6 contracts. They were always able to find what I wanted, and I had absolutely no problems with them. You will probably hear some poor opinions of them, but I enjoyed my time with them.

not sure if you're still deciding, but i'm with agostini right now in cali (san francisco) and they are great. the housing is perfect and pay is great. i like them better than other agencies i've talked to because they don't bull#$% you with gimmicks like bonuses, gifts etc. instead they simply pay more than other agencies. to me that's the grown up way of doing business. i can definitely recommend them. also, while it's true that they are mainly staffing in cali, they are branching out now. they just opened a new office somewhere in the southeast and my recruiter told me he's working on a contract with a florida hospital...i'm keeping my fingers crossed, because i'd love to keep traveling with them to other states in the future. PM me with any questions.
