Need Help/Advice

As of 1132 central time ,I still cannot get my recruiter to contact me. In my previous post about a disastrous first assignment, I was cancelled after 7wks and accused of basically being incompetent and lazy.I worked for 25yrs at a major trauma center, advanced from floor nursing to ICU and then to general surgery in my last 5 yrs. I have worked as a charge nurse on an ICU and keep a current ACLS even in retirement. I retired 18 months ago and then decided I wanted to still work in an OR so this assignment to a small OR seemed great.I should have know something was wrong when I was told a lot of their own nurses were leaving about the same time.Basically I told my recruiter to contact the other travel nurse there and talk to her because she experienced many of the things I did but still since last Friday, have not heard from my recruiter. I still haven't emailed her but I might as well since she isn't returning my calls.I still want to travel,but how do I explaing this to another employer, I have nothing to hide and want to be completely honest.Just feel very naive.:crying2:

    Sounds like you need another company.

    Sounds like you need another company. When you look for another company, be more selective, tell them you are only applying with one or two and ask them a bunch of questions. Make sure you are comfortable with your recruiter then you can tell them what happened. When you talk to them, just tell them you had a very bad experience and you are being very particular about who you are going to choose this time. If they ask for details, I would give them but try not to bad mouth, stick to the facts. They will understand and I would also wait until they have done all the paperwork and are ready to submit you to someplace, you don't want to expain it to 6-7 different companies.

    I wish you the best of luck and I hope you find the perfect company for you! :)

    PS I wouldn't expect your company to help you out much, if they think that their "reputation" will be adversly affected, they will drop you like a hot potato. Your best bet is to cover your own back, keep a journal type of thing of your opinion of what happened just in case.

    It was 7 weeks. if they won;t help you resolve it then just leave it off your resume. You have 25 years of experience, no one will miss that 7 weeks!
