Difficulty finding contract

Hi all,

Just wanted some advice from y'all about the difficulty I've had finding a new position in the ER. I have a couple assignments already under my belt + 5 yrs nursing experience (almost 4 in the ED). Is anyone else having difficulty finding positions, particularly in that field? I'm working with a couple agents that are saying the same thing -- there are less positions now than before -- but other RNs I've talked to on my current assignment are set up in their next spots. I know assignments are definitely there, but the ones I'm putting myself out to just aren't calling back. I have several certs including CEN, great references. I was a little pickier before, but I feel like I've been very open to all shifts, different places, etc.

There are a couple places in the country I really want to go-- I wonder if it would be a good idea to apply for local agencies around there and work through them? Should I look for more agencies?

Thanks!

    It could be the agency, it's always best to work with at least three agencies. Dallas, TX always has ER needs!

    Ditto with what's been said...I always see postings for ED and ICU travel nurses in Massachusetts, which is saturated with nurses...try another agency...good luck!

    Depending on where you want to go, ther is ER contracts all over the place! There are recruiters harrassing for ER right now. You probably just dont want to go a cold or remote area (dont blame you) but thats where the jobs are. With 4 years under your belt you should be having no problems getting offers.
