My company pays very low, but I am housed alone with a high housing stipend. Do the companies that pay high also have high stipends? Does it all average out in the end? Just wondering if I should move on...

most companies give private housing always shop around when i first started traveling i was shocke to find i was making less than any travel nurse at the facility you live and learn they say not to let others know what your making and there is a reason for that the less you make the more your recruiter gets be careful and find a co you can trust that is fair and honest there are hundreds out there go shopping :)

I live alone, have a completely furnished apt with dishes, linens, etc. and my salary is very, very good. Whe you are talking about your housing stipend, is it in par with the other apartments in your area with utilities, or seem inflated?
Do you pay for your utilities or does your company? What is actually included? Telephone, cable?
hi i pay phone AND CABLE BUT I ALWAYS REQUEST 2 BED ROOMS BECAUSE I HAVE 2 GROWN CHILDREN IN COLLEGE THEY ENJOY VISITING IVE BEEN TRAVELING FOR 5.5 YRS AFTER BECOMING A WIDOW I REALLY ENJOY IT FOR THE XTRA B/R I PAY 125 PER MONTH NOT BAD FOR FURNISHED 2 B/R ON UTILITIES I PAY ANYTHING OVER 75$ I TRY NOT TO GO OVER
My agency pays, I only pay for the upgrade in cable service as well as computer modem.
