  8. Help Needed! Travel Rn with work exposure-company not paying.

    guest655229 replied to BigT's topic in Travel

    Yes, retain atty immediately. I doubt you'll have any trouble getting one to take this case. I agree with the above advice, too. Call the insurance commish...and watch it play. It's asinine that they...

  13. New travel assignment in east bay- does this pay sound ok?

    guest655229 replied to nursebride2012's topic in Travel

    You might want to go with a non-blended rate company. There are tonnes of companies staffing that particular hospital. That contract is not the best. Try Aces Nurse travel or Fastaff...the pay is...
