Hello all,
I was wondering after having a terrible time with my current agency (plenty of surprises R/T housing) what is everyone else paying for? My agency expects me to pay the pet rent, a second parking space for my other car (travel w/hubby). When I got my apartment, and did the walk thru with the manager he said, "Oh, I see your furniture is here, but I don't see a TV like usual." My agency states they don't supply that, but for an extra charge they do. The manager also said he never has seen a travel nurse cough up the money for all the stuff my agency was nickel and diming for. My agency eventually agreed to pay this after making me feel like I was a drama queen. Heck, I already payed more than was being reinbursed for other expenses. They even tried to dupe my holiday pay, and not pay it saying it wasn't in the contract with the hospital, while the other staff nurses got the pay. I had to fight for that too. Anyone else feel nickel and dimed?
P.S. You would think with the nursing shortage, people would treat us better, esp. the ones that travel the country to fill in the gaps
