Were both from NY and want to get our California licenses/reprocity as soon as we can. I would like advice for traveling based on our situation. I think my friend has a better chance in snagging an assignment because he has a year of hospital exp and a year of ltc exp. I only have private duty experience. Agencies are telling me that they dont get many home health assignments.
Heres what I need help with!!!!!!!!
Im wanting my friend to get an assignment and I tag along with him as his family and then get connections through his recruiter since he will officially be an employee. The 2nd option assuming i will have a hard time joining his agency is to find a job at a hospital near my friends assignment and start getting my hospital experience and hopefully my friend receives an option to renew his contract once or twice as im getting my year of hospital experience in and then join his agency!
What Are Your thoughts?? I feel like I have little to lose if im tagging along and he has free housing. What I do understand though is that his contract wont be guaranteed to be renewed and he may have to take another assignment which may split us up. What im praying for the most is for us to join the same agency and same location eventually if not right away and split the housing subsidy and find a cheap apt to live together!
