    gizmojamz posted a topic in Travel

    I would like to get some insight from travel nurses on this employment agency. I've googled it and it comes up as Protouch Staffing. I've never heard of it but from the 10 reviews I've seen on...

    gizmojamz replied to Just Dave's topic in Nursing Career

    Exactly and that's why I've kind of accepted how picky they are being. It's like this with all of them as of late. I'm guessing you're a new grad from May 2019 correct? I'm an "old new grad" from...
