Re: Valley Healthcare and CA housing questions
Me and my wife have both been traveling with Valley Healthcare for over a year now. I have done 4 travel assignments through them and my wife two. Highly recommended.
I have tried numerous other companies: Access(poor), MSN/Intellistaf(OK), American Traveler, and Emerald.
Valley is by far the best. The contracts are straight forward and easy to understand. The pay was always $3-5 more than the other companies. The housing is whatever you want( you get multiple choices or you choose your own and they set it up) The furniture rental that they use allows you not to even need silverware/tupperware. Just bring your clothes!!
As far as San Jose goes, my last travel assignment was at the VA in Palo Alto and I stayed in Santa Clara(a few min. from San Jose). Area was excellent, only left because my wife was not able to find a job in mother/baby. I do telemetry.
Hope that helps.
