Travel assignment in Florida panhandle


I am hoping for an assignment between Panama City and Pensacola, FL. I am an L&D nurse. I am not getting any offers because I am being so picky. Any suggestions welcome.

This is really not the time to be overly "picky" except on issues that would be a definite "deal breaker" - only if you can afford to say, I'd rather be unemployed than accept that.
Florida has currently seemed to "drop off the map" as far as OB travel jobs go - I've been trying to get home for the last 9 months and haven't been able to find a FL travel position in OB. That's what I mean about not being too picky - I'm a couple thousand miles from where I wanted to be to keep the money coming in.
If you have the licenses you may want to expand your search into the surrounding states within a few hours drive of where you want to be. That way if you have family or obligations there you can still get there on your days off.

Florida is not a big OB state, though Pensacola probably has more possibilities than most. But Florida is also not a state to be "picky" about.....too many people want to travel there and few of the facilities are stellar.
