TG Healthcare

Spendercash · Sep 13, 2008

Never heard of TG healthcare. However, if you will really do your homework on this forum and others you can easily figure out who are the most popular Big Companies and Smaller Companies.

Some offer more of your specialty than others you just really have to dig in and research for many hours. There is no perfect answer I seperated companies that do short term assignments, smaller, larger, best benefits because ins is important to me. I even went as far as calling some nurse managers in the areas I have been approached about. Recruiters hate to hear that you have spoke with a nurse manager without their input but, who cares it's your assignment. Getting into travel nursing is very expensive in the beginning License, getting to an assignment, all the on the road expenses. It is alot of info to sort through so the more info you have before making your decisions the better. The nurse manager I recently spoke with about a New Mexico assignment was grateful that I called about the facility itself and what the real needs were. I couldn't travel immediately which is what her need was but, she was so impressed she referred me to another nurse manager who called me. I never tried to backdoor my recruiter just get more info than they were willing or possibly able to give me. My questions to the Nurse Managers had nothing to do with bill rates it was all about what they were looking for in a Traveler. Everyone isn't ambitious enough to go this route and I understand that but, to be a traveler you have to be a risk taker. Hope this post gets you more insight.

I know it's been a while since you posted - I live in Milwaukee and we have 2 travel nurses in an ED at a local hospital who love working with TG (I don't work with them but am hopefully traveling in Jan, so a coworker who also works with them asked).

Hi, I see that it's been a while since you posted, but I just wanted to let you know that I work for TG Healthcare and have for over a year now. They are all an amazing group of people and I trust that they all want what is best for myself and my career. They are smaller than some companies, however, that is what I enjoy about them the most. I like being able to call and them knowing who I am. My recruiter has always gone above and beyond for me. I know that as long as I am a "traveler" I will be with TG.

Please let me know if there is anything else you need to start your new adventure. It is an amazing and awesome life. :yeah:

My goodness, you certainly sound like a recruiter to me. One post, just joined and singing the TG praises

LOL!! Now that I reread the post you are absolutely right... It totally sounds like that, but I am not a recruiter. I am just a RN. I have traveled with a few other companies and they all have their advantages. Some are bigger and have more options and if that is what you want then you should definately look into those agencies. Some change recruiters depending on the assisgnment and if you like dealing with different people with each assignment, that would be great for you.

I love my agency and as I said at this time I have no intention of traveling with anyone else. BUT anything can happen and I will have to make that decision then...

I hope that everyone has as much fun as I have meeting new people and seeing how many different opportunities the country has to offer.

Good luck to all!!!
