   ReefDragon replied to sandi917's topic in Travel

   Did an assignment just 30 minutes NW of Boston. In a town called Lowell. Loved the area and the people. Was a very nice assignment.

2. Fastaff anyone?

   ReefDragon replied to shanzah's topic in Travel

   I have used Fastaff for many assignments and tend to favor them as my favorite (I'm signed up with at least a dozen companies). They tend to have the best pay in the industry and will really go out of their way to get you an assignment if you truly ...

3. Verbal Contract Valid????

   ReefDragon replied to bise75's topic in Travel

   Verbal contracts are legally binding but you are forgetting one thing that gives you the upper hand......the services you are providing are in high demand. Your company knows that if you become unhappy with them that there are thousands of companies...

4. Florida Travel Pay Rates

   ReefDragon replied to madi_88's topic in Travel

   I travel in Florida frequently as the assignments there tend to be my "vacation". Pay is definitely low. Pay tends to vary between 22-30/hr for the hospitals to prime locations. You can see as high as 35/hr in some of the less desirable locations ...

5. has anyone used this agency?

   ReefDragon replied to serinamour's topic in Travel

   I have did one assignment for them and found them to be a wonderful company. My recruiter was very helpful and personable. Pay was higher than most companies staffing at the same location. I would travel with them again if the time arose.

   Naples is a nice area and I hear the hospitals are nice there as well. I am currently about 50 miles from there on assignment in Fort Lauderdale. Housing in this area tends to run $1000-$1200 but it all boils down to what your particular company of...

7. Fastaff or Cross Country ?

   ReefDragon replied to sandi917's topic in Travel

   I am currently signed up with both and have did assignments for both of them as well. Cross Country tends to have the most assignments but their pay is usually severly lacking. Fastaff has fewer assignments but usually cannot be beat for salary. F...

9. Fly or Drive

   ReefDragon replied to sandi917's topic in Travel

   Presonal preference yet again Sandy. I prefer to drive to assignments. I like the trip to my new assignment as I make it my mini-vacation (2-3 days) between assignments. You will see more places driving of course. Also, you get the added benefit ...

10. Where to start

    ReefDragon replied to sandi917's topic in Travel

    Hi Sandy917. Very good question. It is all personal preference really. Getting a decent assignment is what we all want. The problem is, there are some assignments that are just not to our liking. They vary widely and are hard to tell the good on...

    Been doing the travel nursing thing for about 6 yrs now and have tried many of the housing methods offered by many of the companies. When on the road, I usually prefer to take the housing offered by the company. It saves you the hastle of doing the...

    ReefDragon replied to LatinaRN's topic in Travel

    I have worked for RN Network as well. I would recommend them. The immediate benefits are a big plus and they are quite helpful. Only had one bad experience with them out of many assignments. Their pay is quite low compared to some of the other co...
