Newbie need information about California Assignments and travel agencies

[JoeB1047]

Hey, my girlfriend and I are about to take our first assignments. We want to travel to California initially, but we just don't know exactly what city or hospitals that are an excellent choice for our first assignments. A travel agency told us to look more toward the northern california region or the LA area for top pay assignments, and we want feedback for these regions. I work in med/surg, and she work in the NICU. We also wanted to know if anyone had any feedback on the travelmax agency and on-assignment agency. We are talking with both of those agencies as of now. We were talking to A. M., but we have got to much bad feedback on that agency. Let us know if you know of any other agency that are great. Thanks in advance.

Travel in and out of SF is a bear, but not as bad as LA. A more pressing consideration is housing in SF. Not easy to find or afford. If you were to live in or near SF and commute to Santa Rosa, is should be easier (at least for the day shift) b/c you would be doing the reverse commute. You would be doing better to live in/near Santa Rosa if that is where you plan to work. Less cost and less hassle.
