I'm currently in the process of researching travel agencies. I want to take my first assignment in October, but am totally overwhelmed about choosing a company.
I don't personally know any travelers whose brains I could pick, so I'm hoping a kind stranger with travel experience can point me in the right direction.
I'm an ER BSN with two years of experience, 1 1/2 being in level 1 trauma. I'm excited to travel but don't want to find myself in a horrible situation. Any help is greatly appreciated. Names of companies, personal experiences, specific recruiters. Thanks in advance!
I'm still pretty new at this, but I started out with American Mobile. After traveling since April and extending, I do feel that the pay rate is a little low compared to what I read on here from other travelers. I've had a good experience so far with AMN though, I like my recruiter and haven't experienced any real problems so far. I am looking around now to see if I can find better pay packages elsewhere just out of curiosity. I've looked into Trinity HSG which I find has good reviews and I've spoken with a recruiter there who seems nice & helpful. Also, Core Medical Group and PPR have seemed good as far as helpfulness and number of opportunities.

Do you get the same benefits as a VA traveler that you would as a staffer?
