Yup, i interviewed on the last and I am going to accept. What about you, are you accepting??

I was accepted too!!!

I am working with Medical Express(a branch of AMN), although I am also signed up with Access, AMN, Novapro, Cross Country, Sunbelt Staffing, Medstaf, and RN Network. Pretty much every company has all the same listings and 9 times out of 10, even if they do have listing it has already been filled. Almost every job is getting at least 10-20 applicants. Well I was gonna work at Kaiser South San Francisco...against my better judgement. So I would caution anyone who is thinking of working for them...DON'T DO IT!!! At least not right now!! So I ended up taking the first assignment that was offered to me which was Doctors Medical Center in Modesto, CA. Although my backgraound is in surgical/trauma ICU, I will be working in Neuro ICU which is fine because I have had lot of experience with neuro. Although Im not thrilled with the location, pay is pretty good so for my first assignemnt I am just gonna suck it up and deal with it. Who knows, maybe ill love it!!

oh wow. Well yesturday I just took another position in northern california so I am alittle relieved. I start jan 26th :-)

There was nothing in the contract stating anything about cancelation. SInce this is my first experience in the travel nursing world, yes I am pretty naive so I did not ensure that was specified(something I will now always do in the future). I am just wondering if there are any legal repurcutions that the hospital is liable for. I would appreciate any insight on this. Thanks you everyone!!!

Hi guys! My question is about contracts being canceled. I have gotten myself into a horrible position!! I left my job to start traveling and I had an assignment that was suppose to start 1/9/09....well on 12/31/08 they called and told me that it was canceled due to 'low census'. I was soo upset and had no idea what to do. A week later I got a call from my recruiter saying the hospital would like to offer you the same position again because census has gone up. I was thrilled but still skeptical. Well I am suppose to start 1/23/09 and I signed my contract last week on 1/8/09 and today(1/13/08) I got a call saying that it was being canceled. Except this time they are saying it is because the nurse manager called me and I told them I wasnt interested in taking the position anymore (HOWEVER, I NEVER RECIEVED A CALL FROM THE NURSE MANAGER...EVER!!). So, basically I know I am being screwed around with. So, my real question is...what is the point to signing a contract if it can be canceled at any time?
