Curious about traveling and one company that offers work from home

[Melissa Caldwell, ADN]

Hi! I am new to this group and have just started thinking about travel nursing. I have been a nurse for 14 years with 3 years experience in med/surg, 8 years experience home health peds, and 2 years case manager home health hospice. I am also possibly looking at a partially work from home job too. (I know traveling and work from home are two extremes!) There is a position posted with a company that is a contract company who fills both of these type jobs, Centene Corporation. I was just curious before I applied if anyone could give any insight to this company. Of course they all make themselves look awesome on their websites but I was looking for someone who had any personally experience with them. If not what are some of the main things I should look out for or questions I should ask them?

Thanks to all!

Typically at any time there are about 400 active travel companies, most of them small like this one. Hope lightning strikes and someone who reads this thread can give you personal experience but do remember that much of the travel experience comes from your relationship with your recruiter. Thus your best course of action is to shop around, talk to lots of recruiters, and figure out who you can trust. Try picking several of the best apparent recruiters to work further with so if Plan A doesn't work out you have a Plan B.

Lots of main things to look out for and good questions to ask. Books have been written as well as thousands of posts. But you will get an idea from just talking with many recruiters about a number of issues.
