1. is it possible to get a job offer at an agency (maxim health care) and when i asked about salary scale and written documentation for the pay......for assignments in flu clinics/ school nurse/hospital...his answer everything all depends on facility...and i asked nothing in writing..he said ...no...we just tell you on the phone how much you are gonna be getting and if you accept it...you can go..
school nurse - 18 dollars/hr
flu clinic - 20 or mid 20s /hr
hospital - 29dollars/hr
2. the staff are all male and good looking football players who are doing nurse recruitment and not nurses
3. havent spoke to any nurse in the office except for all the office staff who have health care degrees
any advice appreciated...felt like wasting my time/gas /and i am almost done on taking their on line exams that is taking me a whole day to finish for nothing...
4. i dont like this invisible job pay scale bec they can say i never said that in the end...
5. i am with other agency too but it is not this complicated....
However, in general agency rates are based on the facility and speciality and can vary widely. I get anywhere from $34.50 to $49/hour for Tele, ER. OR, PACU, Cath Lab, Occupational Health, Endoscopy in Baltimore on days. I work for 3 agencies, no one puts salary in writing unless on a contract assignment and they ALWAYS pay the verbal quote.
Agency PRN is always slow Mid Nov to Mid Jan. This has been a tough year wtih the economy tanking. Hang in there. I'm glad you have a PT position also. I have been looking for Permanent work since Sept 2008, apply, few interviews, even fewer follow-ups from HR and when you call one excuse after another. I started a new permanent position yesterday.
Hang in there you will find something. What area are you in, which specialties?
my specialty is psych/detox x11 years and here in my state..I guess they just throw away resumes with just mostly psych experience although i did LTC and home health ...but i dont want to go back to LTC...too much elderly abuse and violations..the list just goes on and on..
I go home vomiting coffee ground emesis from the stress..no help ...etc....want to transfer to other specialties..applied at clinics/hospitals...HR not returning calls....GOD HELP ME...
well i am gonna be working PT nights next week...at least it is better than nothing ...as long as i still have a pulse and my health good..i will keep on trying....
