Update--my agency said Kaiser renewed call for travelers starting mid-December...I took a staff position in the East Bay, so thanks no thanks...giving traveling a rest for a while after all this...

That sounds like a reasonable explanation. Someone else suggested that census has been low and no signs yet of the flu, so cutting travelers seems like 'good business sense.'

this happened twice, different facilities, just days before the start of the contract. Both times I had to find out on my own when doing a 'hi-how-are-ya' with the manager. I'm learning that the word 'contract' has one meaning for nurses and another for facilities.

In early October I had a contract canceled by Kaiser Oakland...Nursefinders, the Kaiser traveler middleman then tried to salvage something in the area for me. Found a position for me in the North Bay. Now this facility (and others?)canceled all (24) new travel assignments probably for the duration of the year, per regional direction. The economy seems to be an evermore widespread problem.:uhoh21:
