Hello all. I an international RN with current PD. I have 2 agencies I am in contact with. One is offering a contract with them, that is I work in the hospital but get paid by the agency and the other is offering direct hire,that is the hospital is totally in charge of my contract.Anyone with experience with either or both. Coming from outside of the US I just want as much information as possible to make the right decision. Any help is appreciated. Would like know the advantages and disadvantages of both. 0 Likes

You have nothing to lose with direct sponsorship from the hospital but with an agency sponsorship you may get less than what you are working for and some other disadvantages. 0 Likes
