RN Network Or MSN Medical Staffing

by bise75

Hi, I am trying to narrow down a couple of travel agencies. Does anyone have any pro and cons for RN Network and MSN Medical staffing. Your input will be appreciated. Thanks

Default RN Network
I have nothing but good things to say about RN Network. I have worked with them since 2000. I first chose RN Network because it was one of the only that had private housing, 1st day benefits and double OT after 40 hours. Others do now as well, but they were one of the first. The contracts are VERY simple and straightforward, one page affairs with NO fine print or hidden agendas. I know many other travelers who have worked with other companies who say things were much different once they got to their assignment. Everyone I have worked with at RN Network have been professional, above board and honest. I cannot say enough good things about them. You may be able to find a quick assignment with another company or do strike nursing for quick money, but you want honest, reliable assignments and consistent people to deal with who KNOW you as a person and not a number on a schedule. Good luck in travelling. Feel free to e mail me if you want any other opinions, I am full of them!

I have to agree with Barb.....RN Network has been fantastic to us as well....benefits were great from day one and the more assignments my wife did (all in a local area and also repeat assignments) the more the company was willing to pay in housing stipends We went from a one bedroom to a two bedroom apartment that was paid for....they really seem to take some extra steps for you.

Thumbs up Definetly RNNetwork
Me too, RNNetork. I have left them twice and both times regreted it. I am returning next contract and probably won't leave again unless there is a particular area that they can't get me. They are growing rapidly. All the travelers I know that are with them have been with them for quite awhile. Chrissy Pagi is my recruiter. She is a senior recruiter and the best to deal with. Good luck!

Dixielee, Can you please pm me with RN Network contact information in case I decide to travel with them? I want to have a supportive recruiter as it will be my first travel nursing assignment.

Thanks

I too am a traveler with RN Network and I cannot say enough good things about them. I love my recruiter. I have enjoyed my assignments. They have gone to bat for me. Although I have looked at other companies, I know I won't leave RN Network because of the support they offer their travelers.
