All of the nurses I've met who have signed up with Nursefinders have no complaints. I have heard that they're not the highest paying agency, if money is an important consideration for you.

I have a friend who lives in a small town, where there are not many jobs. She has worked for Nursefinders for two years. They send her to nearby towns to work. They are paying her more than her prior agency did. She has been really pleased with them.

When I was visiting her, we went to pick up her check and they really laid on the charm- trying to recruit me.

The local office where I live is in a bad part of town and in a dirty little run-down building. I had an appt w/ them @ 1p. When I got there- the office was closed! They close for lunch and came back late.

They didn't come back til 1:30, and did not apololgize for making me wait.

I filled out an ap, and the recruiter wanted to place me in an area of nursing where I had no experience. Their own company policy says nurses must have one year of recent experience in a speciality in order to work in that area. They were more than willing to break their own policy (and risk my license) right away. Big, red flags! I said no thanks.

I think a lot depends on how the local offices are managed- one office can be really good, and the next can suck.

Sounds a lot like bad mortgage brokers. They don't care if you could really afford the house(or really care for the patients) as long as they get their fee.
