Don't take that unless you just really want to go that location (really bad). You can make alot more money somewhere else. Also, I wouldn't go through the hassel and stress of the PBDS for $23/hr.
I just took and passed the PBDS at Pitt Memorial in Greenville. My travel company as well as the hospital let us know before the contract that if we failed we were going home.
I talked to a recruiter yesterday who mentioned a position at University of Maryland Medical center. The pay before housing or anything else is $23. That's a night shift in Med/Surg/neuro. She said the $3000 completion bonus at the end makes up for the lower hourly pay. This would be my first travel assignment. Doesn't sound too good to me. Any thoughts?
