Need advice on Travel Nurse Solutions

SheaOBRN · Jan 8, 2009

I have spoken with a recruiter for them several times and was considering giving them a try until we discussed health insurance...it was outrageous for me and my husband.....(I want to say like 500 orr 600 a month for the both of us) it was a deal breaker. Look into it, good luck!

My friend just worked an assignment and switched to my company due to lack of assignments with TNS.

Have worked with Travel Nurse Solutions and would highly recommend them. My recruiter is great, and they were great when problems developed. (the unit mgr insisted she sign and fax all time sheets, one week she didn't.) TNS called me, paid me my contracted hours, and the OT on next check. I rec'd every weeks check on time, and they were correct. One week I made a mistake (shorted my self my OT hours for one day and they had me submit a corrected time sheet and paid me the hours). I was impressed because the mistake was mine. My hourly rate for a Med/Surg position is higher than other companies were offering. TNS even paid my pet deposit and then took it ou t of my checks over a few weeks. When the facility required Blue Uniforms (which I didn't have) TNS gave me a stipend to buy some. My housing was perfect for me, and when I informed TNS that the washer/dryer wasn't delivered they took care of it quickly.

They are a small office, and like all small ones don't always have contracts where you want/need them. I know my recruiter is working really hard to find me a contract. I'm just waiting for the phone interviews. I agree that the insurance (Blue cross) is expensive, but Blue Cross is expensive anyway. TNS is a great company, my recruiter is always honest and friendly, and doesn't put me in for jobs that I don't want/or am qualified for.

Compared to the other ones I'm with I much prefer dealing with TNS. I think it's cause they are small and I feel like I have a closer relationship with my recruiter.
