Crisis travel assignments for Covid-19?

Updated:   Published

Hey all, hope you are all staying safe during this insanity. I was wondering if anybody has started to see crisis/high rate jobs posted yet? If so, post the specialty and company.

Specializes in Critical Care and Community Health. Dabbled in Cor.

Tulsa OK hospitals usually will. They train and are top notch to work for

where did you get the information on these positions?

The crisis contracts in WA have dried up. Mine finishes up next week. It turns out that the ERs are less busy since this crisis because people are staying home more. I have taken care of covid-19 patients.

I think New York is where all the contracts are now for the most part.

Specializes in Emergency.

What's up with all the ellipsis? And "Agree to disagree" is so passive-aggressive. I'm with DannyBoy8, "I have a lot to say to you, but you're not worth the time...."

(Note proper use of ellipsis.)

Trusted healthcare and Nomad have jobs from $90 to $120 an HR last time I looked. Both agencies don't use recruiters, but if you get an account with them, you can see exactly what jobs they have and the exact pay. I've done 3 assignments with Nomad and starting a new l&d assignment with trusted next week.

One could argue that your blatant judgmental disgust should be directed at the hospital executives and powers that be, rather than the nurses trying to help themselves make a living while also helping people.

WOW! is a generic term of surprise and does not universally imply "judgemental disgust".

Maybe stay on topic and less focused on the person, we've already been warned.

My comment was very much focused on the topic at hand and wasn't personal at all. My comment however was not directed at just your "WOW!" but rather every single post you've made on this thread which indeed gives an impression of judgmental disgust on your behalf. And yea, the meaning of your WOW! was very clear to most of us, we are smart people. I stand by my comments.

You didn't quote me.

Your comment was focused upon the poster's judgement or similar, still is, apparently.

Yes most of us are smart people. Most of us don't get unnecessarily personal or agitated over opinions.

My sincere apologies for confusing you with the person I quoted a couple weeks back.

And yes absolutely my comment is focused on their judgment since they splayed it all over the post. I still stand by my comments but argue that I'm not getting unnecessarily personal or agitated but rather the other way around. I suppose everyone can interpret it however they want though.

We can just let the evidence and comments themselves speak about whether you were remarking in an unnecessarily personal or agitated fashion.
