How do you look for your next assignment?

I can't really answer your question but your posting made me curious. I am very interested in starting the travel nurse route. I am actually planning to contact agencies this week. It sounds like you have been traveling for awhile. I just wanted to know how hard it is to get an assignment? It sounds like you are with a lot of agencies. How many do you recommend being affiliated with? What is the longest you have gone without an assignment? I just worry about the stress of always wondering how long you will have a job and thinking about getting the next one. Is it worth it?

I usually start looking at new contracts 6-8 weeks before the end of my contract. I call my recruiter (if she hasn't already called me - knows my habits) and start checking daily on the company website. You could certainly do the same with all the agencies you are in touch with. I'd do this first rather than the "regular job" websites as the agencies will have contract positions instead of staff type jobs.
