Intelistaf or Goverment contracts

[msnurse14]

I'm looking to start traveling in late July or August. Intelistaf seems to have a lot of advertisements for local contracts and travel postitions. Has anyone worked with them recently? Most blogs that I have found are from 2-3yrs ago. What are their pay rates, how are the recruiters, housing and contracts in general? I was also interested due to the fact that they have government contracts. Does anyone else know of travel agencies with government contracts? Thanks!!!

I traveled with Intelistaf before, but once they merged with MSN, I had to leave the company...it just got really disorganized and I felt lost in the shuffle. I think it depends on what local office to end up working with. Every company has their pros and cons, you just have to know how to make sure you prioritize yourself and your needs first.

I worked PRN with MSN in my home town. Last summer wanted to be close to my daughter when she had her baby in another state. Lucky for me was Compact State as is my home state.

Corporate was a disaster to deal with. Lost things, had to resend, refax, and retest several times. Local office in the other state was wonderful. IF you do not need housing and can hook up with MSN at home you can just contact MSN manager where you'd like to travel to and take care of it without the middle man. Certainly will make life easier.

From what I have read, Intelistaff has now gone Chapter 11. I would not consider starting a new contract with them at this time. If you are on a contract already, i wish you good luck!

chapter 11?? really!? they just posted a gazillion jobs on their website and someone from texas called me the other day offering jobs. my friend did an assignment with them in cali awhile back and loved it.....so weird how one person can love and another can hate.
