Travel Nursing- Flexcare

[karlenepatrick]

Hey All,

I've been an ER nurse for 3 years and as a young, crazy single woman I have decided to travel. I currently work in CT where the pay is great- I make $34/hr before diff. I have been working closely with a recruiter from Flexcare, and so far this company seems ideal. Any one have experience with them? I'm looking into NC/SC- pay would be around $18/hr plus the tax free jazz- meaning around 1300$ week take home, which is slightly more than I make now. I want to know the good, the bad and the ugly. How the benefits are, reimbursement and how housing works. Or if you found another company better. I know what they tell me, but I'd like to heard from those that live it!

Thanks in Advance,

Karlene

While Flexcare has a historically bad rep (perhaps largely from its per diem business), it seems to be doing better recently.

The more important question is why you are putting all your eggs in one basket? Shop around and find several recruiters that you can work with. That is way more important than the agency brand. You will have more assignment choices, options if something falls through, knowledge about your real fair market value, and will learn who is honest and who is blowing smoke.

I work with Flexcare. I loved them until last week. Don't ever do double time with them. Otherwise I have no complaints. I've never taken housing from them but their stipend is very generous and they help you find a place.The pay is great. This will be my first time taking their benefits so I'll let you know about that on the 24th when I have my appointment. My recruiter is attentive. There's just one airhead in payroll who can't do math. I won't fault a whole company for her though. It's a good company.
