Re: wanting to get into travel nursing Originally Posted by cjones98 I'm currently talking with NursesRx, and my biggest issue is in October I was quoted and job in San Jose, at Good samaritin Hospital for 38/hr plus Time and ahalf after 8 hours, Now they're telling me the same job is 30/hr then 45/hr blended rate to 38/hr. What is the deal. Do the hospitals pay these companies a flat fee, then the company pays the nurse how is that set up, I thought it depended on the need of the hospial too and what they are willing to pay. Thanks for any input
I just turned down assignments with NursesRX.
The pay was good, UNTIL they told me I would have to pay for my own housing out of it!
No thanks!
What I have learned is that in most cases, the hospital pays the agency a flat hourly rate. The agency gets part of it and you get part of it.
If the agency is offering you less, it's because they are taking more.
As for O'Grady-Peyton, I was in negotiations with them (before I knew better) and they lied to me a screwed me over by purposefully giving me misinformation and making me look foolish to a facility.
So, of course I did not go with them.
