I just had dinner with someone who wants to start a new travel company and he is telling me that he wants to start in Tulsa Oklahoma with specialty nursing, which for him includes ICU, L&D, PICU, and/or ER nurses starting out at 37.00/hr which is seperate from medical insurance,life insurance, travel expenses and housing. That would be on top of the pay that the nurse would receive. He convinced me that the quality of customer service is lacking in most of the agencies that are out there and he can do better......What do you guys think of that, is this believable????
I will mention he has been doing business for 15 years now, that he also has considered billing rates for the local hospitals and is aware of the billing rates. He wasn't trying to recruit me, he has many nurses at his disposal but wanted to know if that would be a tempting offer to other travel nurses, I simply believe it would be but my opinion is limited to one and my experience is limited as well so let me know what you guys think I would work for the guy but I need devil's advocate opinions......
