Travel Nursing in CO

[trvlngstethoscp]

Seems like everyone wants to travel to CO (at least that's what recruiters are saying). Has anyone worked as a travel nurse there? Specifically ICU? Pay seems LOW! As in, under $30/hour...just wondering what agency pays better and has more available jobs in that area...

Recruiters are telling me because it's a vacation destination, they don't have to increase the pay--travelers will go anyway--

I have already secured a private all-inclusive furnished apartment in the Capitol Hill area near downtown for $1100 a month. It's a 20 minute drive to UofC. It's small, but I think the location will more than make up for the cramped quarters.[/quote']

That's awesome!! I lived near Capitol Hill and really liked the area. I am glad to hear you could find something for that price and maybe there's hope for others moving here. It does depend on pickiness too. My husband works from home so we always tried to find something with a little extra space, not a studio, and since we shared a car, we tried to live within walking or biking of a lot of things. If I had been alone, I would have probably had better luck and not been so particular. Good luck at U of C, I've heard it's amazing!
