Parallon travel

[natashacardiacrn]

Does anyone have any experience with Parallon? I am currently on assignment with them and I am very dissatisfied. I regret taking this assignment with them.

Ok because I am in Texas.

Hello all,

So I feel like something is weird about this parallon application…it is through estaff365, and there are asking lots of personal information before you start working like social security number and picture of social security card, picture of drivers lscnce and the number? what the heck is all this..

I hope these people are not part of any identity scam

[NedRN]

I think you've hit it! HCA is a scam.

[nyc2011]

NedRN- do you have experience with parallon have you ever applied?

[NedRN]

No. And knock on wood, I never will. Too many better hospitals to work for.

lol, a scam? not hardly

i've worked for All About Staffing/Parallon on and off for a few years and never experienced an issue. i've also recommended friends for travel here and worked contracts and never had issues.

i think it sounds more like a recruiter issue, more than a Parallon issue.

i've also worked at every HCA facility here where i live and in other states and honestly, i've never seen much of a problem i didn't see at other hospital systems. to be exact, i've worked at a University teaching hospital and 3 other hospital systems in 4 different states and HCA has been fine. as a matter of fact, i'd take myself or my family to any HCA facility here before any of the other systems.

i guess your mileage may vary. never understood the fuss myself.

[NedRN]

HCA found guilty of massive Medicare fraud. Easy to understand that fuss.

yea maybe you're right Noahj

this wasn't the only issue..My offer letter for PRN cardiac did not have the pay the recruiter quoted me or the hospitals (or location ) i would be working in…I told her what city I was in and when I asked her if she could add that on the offer letter she got mad and said the pay varies according to where you work well DUH? I know that..but I will be working in one location I told her she said that they just give generic offer letters out..

SO i told her you can tell me u will give me $41/hr but when I go to the "local office" they may say no you're going to make $30/hr???at this point she got upset and I told her..there is no reason to get upset..I am trying to secure myself...

What the heck. this was a red flag for me...

[NedRN]

Ask her if she knows what she makes!

[nyc2011]

Ned RN ask who ?

[NedRN]

Ask the recruiter if she knows what she makes. Then tell her you would like to know what you will make.

Save yourself the stress and don't work with her/them. She's being an idiot and you don't want to have an idiot for your backup/support. Not with hca facilities.
