I've started the process with WorldWide...they will help with license, will email you the forms and review them before you send them in...I'm told it speeds up the process. On the down side they will "help" with housing referral, but prefer you find your own...which is expensive on island (St. Thomas more so than St. Croix). On the up side there are lots of travelers there and hooking up for shared housing could be an option!

I didn't know CCTC even changed the name! And I work for them...go figure. I've been happy with QTStaffing...not sure what your specialty is, I work dialysis. I've noticed that companies seem to lean toward specific areas, it's a good question to ask when you're first contacting recruiters.

I'm a traveler who tried this the last time I worked in FL. I still feel it can be a good deal....BUT...be careful! My first "place" was all set up, arrival dates and all, when I got to town and called to meet up I got a "who are you?, oh yeah, my sister had to move in so it won't work out"...thank goodness I hadn't forwarded any money! Second one seemed good, clean/neat/safe/quiet...then it turned out his 2 kids lived there too, a cat, another tenent and the house had to stay 80 degrees to save on AC bill...I switched to a condo rental by owner and loved the rest of my time! I like the idea of facebook friending, you an get a lot of info. Ask lots of specific questions, and agree to a short trial period would be my other suggestions.

Hi all! I've been a dialysis nurse for 2 years, on top of 10 years ICU and 20 years homecare. Fresenius and Davita are both solid companies...but please keep in mind they are also both "for profits", the name of the game is the same everywhere-do more with less. If you're looking to dialysis to take a break...well, it's not going to work out so well. It's hard work, long hours with crazy times followed by "yep, we're still busy"! I've worked acutes, chronics, adults, peds...for profit and not for profit, big and small units-I work as a traveler, so I get a lot of variety! Bottom line- if you like needles, blood, chronically ill and/or acute patients you can enjoy the work. IMO the safest way in is through a chronic clinic for a year...trust me, you'll need the experience with relatively stable patients before you break loose on ICU patients, this is VERY different nursing and will change your perspective on the use of "fluid resusitation" forever! Good luck!

Thanks! I get a lot of email from them...called one time to talk to a recruiter and lots of warning bells went off in my gut. VERY glad I stayed away!
