Las Vegas for 24.00

You didn't mention which company you were with. I am currently in Vegas with a new contract, yes from the evil empire, for 29.00 plus benefits. I have been here for 6 months doing agency and travel. PM me if you want more info on Vegas, its terrific out here.

why did you say it's terrific? i'm interested because i'm planning to work in vegas. by the way, would you mind telling me what hospital? thank you so much! = )

I'd definitely pick my season. Summer is a good 120 degrees for days. Winter gets cold so plan on Spring or Fall for temp/climate.

Shop this carefully. Also, you may want to find your own housing and take the stipend instead.

The main reason that agencies "get by" with paying these ridiculously low rates to travelers is because "the travelers" take them!! I do NOT leave home for anything less than 35 an hour (With housing and travel seperate). Some agencies advertise 26 an hour- Well, here come the "new travelers" who jump on this "big money"............these new travelers take the low money and then wonder why they are not making more. Examples.......In the past I have been at facilities where "new travelers" make 26-29 an hour with basically the same benefits(diff. companies) but I make 35 plus and hour...........Why?...........because I will not accept those low wages.!!

yankeemiss,

i was wondering if you could PM me so i could ask you a few questions about how you handle travel companies. Thanks
