Some agency's work primarily to get nurses to 'travel' to other states or certain distances for an extended period of time. The definition of 'travel' nursing requires a certain number of miles to be distinguished as that. Other agency's focus on placing people at local hospitals. Sometimes they do this by 'contract'---weeks at a time...or daily. They are both agencys.....it's just that different agency's may specialize in different kinds of placement of nurses. You'd have to know what you want and then find out if that agency fits your needs.

Well I only do agency work through E.R.'s, but homehealth means exactly that. Your going to be doing work directly out of their home. I'd put private duty in the same spectrum. Agency work means you could go to hospitals, nursing homes, etc. On the same hand, alot of agencys also do homehealth staffing. Most people generally choose within that agency whether they want to work in a hospital or do home health work if that is an option.
