Anyone with MSN or Faststaff?

Hello, well as much as I know is probably not enough, but there is something you can do. Are you stuck on travel? Why arent you looking for a home? Find a recruiter.

Before I look for a recruiter I would like to hear others' thoughts about different agencies because a recruiter is just going to size up his/her company and not give you any cons or problems people have had.

I work in Philadelphia as a staff nurse. I'm seriously thinking about doing travel nursing and have heard good things about IntelliStaff and Progressive Staffing. Check them out, and good luck to you :)

Well to be frank the recruiter has more than one company that they work for and they only get paid if you get placed. The recruiter only goes after the postions he has not just to have nurses that are sitting on the sidelines. The ability for a recruiter to work for you instead of you have to interview at ten different places is what you want. You should never have to pay to get a job, Your experience should get you in the position. I am a recruiter and that is why I stick to the positive of using one you also have agencies that you can go to for travel nursing. Just do whatever is best for you and your time schedule. RECRUITERS WORK FOR THEIR MONEY JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

I still haven't decided on a travel company to work with. I am new to this and would appreciate any advice. PPR sounds good but are only offering $24/hr for the ER. Someone suggested faststaff or MSN but I haven't heard enough about them.
Thanks

I am on an assignment in south Jersey where most of my coworkers are from fast staff. I am with another agency, whom I will not mention, and the faststaff nurses are making more then I am and from all that I have heard from them they are very pleased with fast staff and most if not all of them have been traveling with them for at least a year and some of them as many as 3-5 years with fast staff and have nothing but good things to say about the agency.

Yeah I work STAFF at a local South Jersey (wonders if you work with me lol) and we use Faststaff. Thing I don't like about it, is their days are contracted 4 days a week and they CAN"T be cancelled. So yesterday they called me off for my 12 hr. shift cause they use so many freakin travel nurses!!! The Supervisor said to me that they just had a meeting and they didn't have to wait til after you work your 3 shifts a week to cancel you. They NOW can do it any day they want. And if you don't have any vacation time or personal time to make up for they can just cancel you WITHOUT PAY!! Now I'm truly annoyed about this. It shows me that being staff means nothing. You have no security with your work at all. I need my 4 12 hr. shifts and NOW my paycheck will be short one day.......that makes a differance of hundreds of dolloars!! Grrrrrrrr!!

:icon_rollhi! i have worked with msn and ppr. i am currently investigating fast staff. msn was who i worked with before i started traveling, so i did per-dium for them. they paid well for their shifts, but we were the first ones cancelled or sent home early. that feels great at the time, but if you are counting on the income, it isn't so great! they couldn't find me anything that i was interested in when i started traveling. ppr is who i have traveled with for the last two assignments, and i have been very pleased. the agent that i have is very pleasant, and accomidating. the only trouble that i have had with them involved there housing department, so when i let me agent know she promised she would handle the housing for me. since that, there haven't been any problems. your agent makes the difference, i am beginning to learn.

hope that helps and answers your questions.
