Welcomet o travel nursing!

I have been travelingn for 7 years now. The questions I always ask are:

1. What locations they have available where I want to go...and what will the pay rate be? To see if they have what I am looking for. If a recruiter will not answer that question until I fill out all their paper work...simply call another company is what I do.

2. Ask about health benefits? Free? Day1? Can I add my husband to the policy and for how much?

3. Housing? Free private, Pet friendly? Are utilities paid for or not?

4. Travel reinbursement, how much?

5. (If you need a rental car-ask if they provide one)-never had to do this.

Just a few things to get you started.

Good luck

Good luck.

Where do you want to travel to?

If you want to come to California......I could save you some time. Respone 1 Medical is an amazing company. They are the best I have ever worked for.

PPR....is great too.

Good luck

I wrote you a private message because I wasn't sure if I could give you an agency name and number on the regular forum!

Good Luck!
