There are different kinds of agencies though. I don't have to go very far for any of the shifts I work. I kind of bounce around to a handful of places I like.

So this company I work for is a little different. Its like an agency but not. I get to pick what place I work at every shift and if I don't like it I don't go back. There is a rehab facility 5 miles from my house I like working at. The staff nurses are great and after dealing with my kids all day its a good change of pace. Sometimes it can be stressful, but I like it, it fits me for what I need if that makes sense.

I used to be a full time nurse on the floor 4-5 days a week. Sometimes I would be forced to work late, not getting to have my lunch was the expectation, and by the end of the day my feet were killlling me. I was burning out fast. I still loved being a nurse but each week it was something different. Drama, emergencies, and god forbid something happened with my kids. I decided I had enough with working full time. So I looked into dropping down to part time hours maybe work a couple days a week. It didn't work out because the hospital still mandated my schedule, and long story short I ended up getting a job at this company that does per diem work. Its great, I signed up took me no time and I pick where I want to work, when I want to work for top pay. No asking for vacation time or a day off here and there to watch my sons basketball games. I prefer this a lot more than working full time on my feet ill tell you that, But what does everyone else prefer?
