Questions about housing

Specialties Travel

Published

I traveled for about 3 assignments. The company I was with payed well. I made 40 an hour plus free housing. I have spoken with other agencies that say pay is 36 then housing comes out of that. Can anyone explain the different ways that they do the housing? I am waiting for my 6 months to be done at the hospital where i am at at home so that I can leave on good standing and go back to travel nursing. I refuse to go back to the agency I was with because they would not back me on a housing issue.

Thanks

$36 and housing comes out of that? So then they are going to tell you that you pay is going to be $18 per hour?

Not something that I would ever consider. Housing is separate from what is being quoted for pay.

Look for other companies would be my suggestion to you.
