   I traveled with them twice. No complaints. My recruiter was fantastic! Just remember, your required to do 48hrs/week. Its exhausting but the pay is absolutely excellent!! That overtime is a killing! Thats probably the only reason I havent' used them ...

   I would stay clear away from this job if I were you. My friend went there and was cancelled once per week, hours werent guarenteed AND about half way thru the contract the hospital cancelled all the travelers contracts. Not a good rep that place.
