Ask to switch to shift work. If they won't accommodate you, look for another employer. You can't continue to waste your time and money like this. BTW, I haven't had work since March and new employers say that they just don't have the business because of the economy. Your employer can't fault you for finding another employer who can keep you working.
You might have to find a new agency or work more than 1 agency at a time. Are the other nurses full time? At my agency the full time nurses get the work because they are getting paid salary. The contingent nurses have to come or have the office fax any extra work that can't be filled by the other nurses. The contingent nurses do not carry a case load. Although, some agencies do let the contingents carry a load. Maybe you need to look for that kind of agency. Many of the agencies have slowed down due the economy and people losing their insurance. If you are the lowest in senority, maybe your agency feels they have an obligation to use their older nurses first. Unfortunately, you were probably not told that in orientation.
