I'm looking to work in California. Does anyone have any recommendations for who I should go through? Thanks so much in advance for the information.
I have traveled with Sagent healthstaff for 3 years now, I've had the same recruiter since the begin., never less than $34/hr, always free corporate housing most of the time I have a 2BR apt that I don't even need (linen, utensils, iron& board, pots and pans, telephone, TV, Microwave, w/d, and a gift at each location), $1000 completion bonus after each 13w, and travel money even if I stay put. Most importantly 24h contact with my recruiter.
They are a small company but they make sure you get to see the money since you did most of the work.
I once had an assignment in NYC I got $2800 housing allowance monthly tax free. And you also ger per diem (part of your salary is not even taxed as allowed by IRS but not all companies tell you about it)
877-477-3376, 877-hiredRN
The other nice company that I know of is quick travel staffing, but they do only dialysis.
Stay away from: american mobile, americantraveler, nursesRX, medical express and o'grady peyton they suck. They are big but they take all the money and only leaves you with crumbs no wonder only first timers uses them.
