LPN TRAVEL NURSING

Published

Hello All,

I am currently an LPN and have been one for 8 years now. I am looking into travel nursing and did not realize that there were SO MANY agencies out there. I have narrowed a list down to the folowing 3: Trustaff, CoreMedical Group, and RNnetwork. Has anyone out there worked for any of these agencies? Is there another agency that you guys recommend instead? Im looking to start in beginning of Oct.

Thanks for any info.

I would not recommend Trustaff. You should consider a really large agency like Cross Country for better access to the relatively scarce LPN market. In addition to the other two choices. The other two are pretty big agencies.

Thanks NedRN ill look into Cross Country. Do you currently work with an agency?

Well, I'm a special case. I usually do direct contracts as my own agency. But I have a large knowledge base of the industry for various reasons, including just plain curiosity.

The vast majority of Travel Nurse agencies are RN only, with the (very) occasional LVN/LPN slot. I'm currently working for Cirrus Medical in California at $27.00 and hour. One thing I've noticed as an LVN is to focus on agencies that staff government facilities, i.e., the VA, and military installations, both of whom still utilize licensed nurses.
