Joe, I think you might have answered your own question when you said that "Permanent" Recruiters told you that. I've never heard anyone say that before. In fact, travelers have to be quicker to learn because they need to hit the ground running. I've been an RN for 25 years and traveled for 7 years of that time. I found a small recruitment firm that works with several different agencies and they handle travel and permanent placement. I traveled with them for 3 years and then decided to stay put and get a permanent position. I used them for both and they found me a perm position in Chanute, KS (close to my home town) and it only took them a week to do it. I wouldn't believe everything recruiters tell you. They are just interest in getting a placement fee. If you want to learn more you might contact the people I used. Their website is http://www.flexibilitystaffing.net

ADerucki...I understand your hesitation. There are a lot of rotten agencies out there. I got lucky and found a company that I thought had a neat system. They call themselves Flexibility Staffing and are a husband and wife recruiting team. They work with several different agencies and have a lot more jobs available than any of the companies I've worked with in the past. I've been traveling with them for a couple of years and wouldn't change for anything. I usually work nights and they gave me their home and mobile#s so no matter what time it is, if I need them, I can reach them. You might want to give them a call. Their website is www.flexibilitystaffing.net and it has all of their contact information on it. Best of luck to you. I hope you find what you're looking for....Pat
