First offer, fair?

So I've talked to a few companies that have recruiters I seem to "click" with. After talking about pay packages I was submitted and accepted a contract. I am fine with the pay as it is my first assignment, but would love to get some feedback as I haven't seen many posts about Columbus, OH. So here it is:

medical/ cardiac icu nights....no float....1:2 ratio....pca's for baths, ecg's, etc

20.09 taxable base

500 travel

1850/mo housing

245/ week m&ie

45/hr ot

I currently live in ohio ( but won't be able to travel home) and wanted to " get my feet wet" while I'm waiting for my california license. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated:)

    I looked at that assignment and the pay package you were offered was higher than what I was quoted. From what I have seen for Ohio pay its pretty good. The only thing I didn't like was the overtime rate seemed low. What agency are you using?

    Ohio pay is low as you should know if you live there. This is on the low side generally, but good for Ohio. Fair? That is a personal decision based on many factors just like a staff job or buying a car. All you can do is shop around and figure out for yourself if it works for you.

    Yes the OT is low at blended base (all your compensation) plus 6.

    AMN. I love the recruiter I have there ( I was referred by a friend ). They will also give that $100 bonus on top of ot for an extra shift. And they included insurance for me and my daughter ( not being taken out of weekly pay)

    Yes NED the it was the only thing I frowned about but she wouldn't really budge any higher.

    Insurance? That is very good for Ohio then. That is at least another $3 an hour. The insurance could be crappy though, I suggest you look at the policy carefully. $100 for an extra shift puts that in a decent range as well.

    Thanks for the quick reply Ned. Your posts were most helpful to me starting the process. I feel as if I could have easily been taken for a ride as a first timer if I hadn't scoured the posts here and on other sites:)
