So please fill me in with agency work. Isn't this call per diem..or pick and choose when you want to work? I would like details about the contracts, what they guarantee, what they don't. Could you end up working three different shifts at three different hospitals? How do they list the base plus differentials plus OT? Are there agencies that don't pay you the OT? What is the difference between employment through a hospital and agency when it comes to the pay and benefits? Isn't it better to work for a hospital with benefits and guaranteed hours than an agency that MAY call you and have no benefits? Thank you!
