You may not have the information needed on your actual contract with the hospital. But, check your paperwork from the company. You may find the loopholes there. I'm not sure, but I have never heard of payback from weekly paychecks. My company has always paid for a new license. Don't know what company you have, but I think it's time to (as was said before) finish the assignment and look for another company. I had a horrible recruiter with the 1st company (I've been with 2). She just couldn't be bothered with the new, green traveler. I think back, seven years later and still get angry with her. She was not only unprofessioinal, but just not nice. I learned so much with talking to other travelers on assignment. Picked everyones brain. Listen, listen and listen. Not every company meets your needs. What is good for one traveler may not be so with another. You need to find the company for you. I almost left my company because I inherited a new recruiter who was not a good fit for me. Luckily, she retired. I then was directed to one of the best I have had since my very first assignment. Unfortunately, she is gone. I have a new recruiter. We do fine.

i AGREE WITH TRAVELNURSE229. COMPLETE THE ASSIGNMENT AND FIND A NEW RECRUITER. NOT TO SAY THIS RECRUITER IS GOOD OR BAD, JUST MAYBE NOT RIGHT FOR YOU. EVERYTHING IS NEGOTIABLE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND PAYING BACK YOUR TRAVEL EXPENSES. SOMETIMES YOU OPT NOT GETTING TRAVEL EXPENSES AND BLEND IT INTO YOUR PAY. IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR SITUATION. I'VE BEEN TRAVELING FOR OVER 7 YEARS AND STILL LEARNING THE ROPES.

It's more difficult when you're destinations are limited. I've had to return to my home base and have had to work agency and purchase Cobra. Not the best, but had to do it. I work L/D so assignments are not always plentiful in certain areas. Good Luck

I've been with Intelistaf for about 7 years. I was first with StarMed, which became Intelistaf. I have had two incidents of payroll problems, most recently the last week in December. I was paid for the day shift. I can't seem to understand the problem since I use military time. They also did not deduct my 401K. I will hang around a little longer. I'm 100% vested with my 401K and I like their new rewards program. I really don't think there won't be some other problem other places. They have compensated me so far.
