Per Diem Travel Companies/Agencies

[Janinern84]

Hi everyone,

I have been emailing a bunch of travel agencies for a position here in Cleveland, OH in Labor and Delivery just some questions about rate of pay, insurance, just basic stuff. My question is:

Does anyone have a list of agencies that I can email or call instead of hunting and searching google, yahoo etc?

and 2

Does anyone have a list of good questions to weed out the bad agencies?

Thanks guys, i'm gonna post this in the agency forum too.

I responded to your other post................check it out.

But just thinking about it. If your age is correct with what is posted, you will find it almost impossible to get a travel assignment in Labor and Delivery in any state. Most are now requiring at least two years of experience for that specialty, and the more well known actually are requiring five full years of experience. You are going to find the same in most markets for most L&D units, even in the per diem market, unless the facility is really desparate, and if they are, you want to stay away from them.
