Need some advice!!

[Diva7332]

Thanks for reading! I am in need of some advice regarding my current situation. Without going into too much detail....I am currently on assignment with company "A" at hospital "A". I am also a Canadian with a TN visa, so anytime I switch employers, I need to get a new visa. I am pretty far from the boarder on this current assignment. SO....my current contract with hospital and company "A" is almost done. I am wanting to make a move to another, highly coveted hospital within the same state. A position came up at the hospital that my old company, company "B", claims they have an exclusive contract with (?) I have been wanting to get back with company "B" for a while now, and am jumping at the chance to get to the new hospital, hospital "B" (Hang in there!) They want someone right away. My earliest possible start date would be June 28th, since I need to finish up my current contract and head to the boarder (It'll be a two day trip...this is a remote assignment) AND move. Last Friday, company "B" told me I had the position for a start date of June 24 (a thursday, but whatever) I never heard from anyone at hospital "B", and thought that was funny, but was happy anyway. Last Monday, company B calls me and tells me that hospital B is not sure I can get my visa in time to start June 24th (it's just a matter of me walking through customs at the airport and filing paperwork) so they don't want to extend an offer until I have the visa in hand. Fair enough.

Meanwhile, another hospital "C" in the same state has an ASAP need. I worked there for four back to back assignments last year; but really have a strong interest in not going back (politics, I felt unsafe with the staffing at times) and so company B is proposing the following: I go the boarder on this Tuesday, get a new Visa for the new company; start at hospital C for 4 weeks starting June 28th, and then get "put over" (the recruiter's words) to Hospital B after 4 weeks at hospital C. These hospitals are not affiliated at all. Recruiter says that once I have the green light from hospital B, I have it always (?) OKAY, thank you for reading, but this whole thing puts a really bad taste in my mouth! Or is it just me? I feel like company B is trying to lock me into something....I feel like they are going to get me to hospital C and then say hospital B has no current need for a traveller. ARG! I would love any insight!
