Any info on "Continental Travel Nurse?"

Published

I've been looking into working in Scotland and came across this website...Continental Travel Nurse. I am wondering if anyone has heard anything about this organization? Good? Bad? After reading their site, they seem decent but it's hard to tell. If anyone has anything to add about this travel nurse organization or any other organization for that matter - would you mind giving your input?!

Thank you so much! I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas and will have a safe and Happy New Year!!

Hi I have just signed up with this agency after my mum pointed me in their direction. She recently worked with someone at home (Aus) who had done some assignments here (UK) with them & recommended them.

I start my assignment on Monday, we have fully furnished accommodation in a very beautiful city. It's a 13 week contract, with travel ££ added to my first pay packet (event hough I can walk to work in 6 mins!!! Nice change from my 45 minute drive at the moment) then at the end fo the 13 weeks you get 45 hours holiday pay.

They are VERY helpful with all paperwork and you deal with 1 person through most of the process.

I am an unusual case for them as I have lived here for 7 years and my husband and 2 yr old are with me, so this made house hunting hard work for them but it is all sorted.

I definitely say give them a call :)

I shall update you in the next few weeks.

Hi all. Well it's been a few weeks now and I am really enjoying my ward. Travel nurse pay me fortnightly and I can get hold of them very easily and they are quick to get back to me if I call them. I am working with 3 other women who are signed up with them, 2 from New Zealand and a Japanese girl. None of us have anything but positive comments about travel nurse. GREAT way to see UK!:yeah:

Sue unfortunately I haven't psoted enough to PM yet.

Carluke,

Did you end up using Continental Travel Nurse? I'm looking to move to the UK from the US and have been in contact with this agency. Any insight you could give would be great.
