Don't sign that contract!!!!!! I just left the LA area and did $28 "blended rate". The process goes a little like this:
1. The hospital will probably offer about $50 an hr to the agency to have you.
2. The agency will offer you the $15.
3. They pocket the rest!
They make $35/hr off of YOUR work! This is just an estimate...but I'm sure I'm close
I wouldn't want you to meet a local registry nurse that will tell you she's making $500/shift like I did...no wonder they called me so much to work extra shifts.
