  3. Cautionary Tale/ American Mobile /Medical Express Strikes Again

    The housing part of the travelling can be a nightmare, for sure. The last assignment I had was in CA with Protocol. The apartment was all electric. I was told to just fax the bills to my recruiter and they would take care of them as the apartment ...

    I think those companies are good, from what I have heard. Travelers do not make good money, contrary to popular belief. Rates change from assignment to assignment and supposedly differ from Southern CA and Northern CA. I was told rates were higher...
  5. Thoughts on entering travelling nursing for $$$$$

  6. Travel Agencies

    I think if you stick to the larger companies you might be ok. My experience with local companies, such as many in CA, is that they really do not treat the travelers very well....low pay, disappointment with housing and assignments. I would stick wi...
  7. What Happens If You Cancel Your Contract?

    To Madwife2002 You have to be careful and read the info when you sign the forms for direct deposit. It is stated on that form that they can retrieve money from the account, too. For example, if they overpaid or if somehow the deposit is made twice ...

  18. Fly or Drive

    Which is better, or does it depend on the assignment? My guess is that if the assignment is in a big city like Boston or Chicago, it may be better to fly and rent a car there. How close is housing to the hospital, typically? Is there a demand for med...
  19. Fly or Drive

  21. Where to start

    Does anyone have advice on where to start? I was thinking about Rhode Island, but saw a previous message that advised against RI. I am curious..why? Is Boston a good place? I seem to be thinking East Coast. Any words of wisdom?
