Well Stated Jazzy , God Bless America Indeed

I am currently on assignment with AMH , my goal this year was to try a few agencies , and choose one to travel with after the experience . I am being paid 2.50 $ less than a coworker working for CCTC , and my second pay period I did not receive my direct deposit . ( Agency reports not receiving my self faxed timesheet ) . No one contacted me to say a time sheet wasn't received . ( issues resolved in short order , but very stressful event none the less) Needless to say , that's a big mark against the company for me . Never had payment issues with the other two agencies I worked with . Some issues are tolerable .. others ... ARE NOT !

Hello Jenn, I dont have personal experience with NovaPRO , but have met a few travelers who work with them ( say they are a sis to CCTC ) . They seem to like Nova Pro for the short term assignment potential( 4 weeks). I would recommend trying On Assignment , though I havent worked with them yet. .... hopefully after next week I won't be able to say that . Depending on your needs , they offer rental cars if you are far from home, free airfare..etc.... worth looking into their benefits . Good LUCK !

Anyone Ever work at This Facility ? Any Knowlege of the area ? I am considering a travel assignment there and they didn't do a phone interview/screening. So I didn't have an opportunity to ask any questions , I would appreciate any help you all could offer .

Suzanne, I would like to share my most recent experience , and ask your advice . I am new to travel nursing , I have had one assignment , it was very brief to New Orleans. I have files with 4 agencies. ( 2 files complete ready for me to go to work) . I have been at home since Jan 16th awaiting an assignment . It is my goal to go to California , which has been a challenge,due to the distance from where I am in SC . Initially I was all gung ho about a position , but then came to the realization that the drive would be too much and the contract i was offered just wasnt sufficient . I changed the company I desired to go to California with , because they offer rental cars, free airfare , and free private housing. But at the moment I am so disillusioned with the whole process , because a position changed ( the shift offered) , I never interviewed.. was resubmitted and then told the hospital went with a less expensive agency . (california) I can not believe that I am sitting at home not working . RN such a shortage... it just baffles me . The process of getting an assignment is exhausting . I was so looking forward to travel, but at this point I am considering just applying at a neighboring hospital , and trashing the whole travel idea . Any words of encouragement or advice would be appreciated.. Agencies just seem disorganized... limited...folks do what and when it matters to them to do.( No more )

I am new to this site and would like to Chime in on NurseBetti's Question . I am curious if there are any agencies that allow weekender assignments , I am interested in not working 36-40 hrs a week as a traveler is that possible ? When folks say , is it in your contract at what point do you sign a contract ? Or at what point in the process are you obligated to take an assignment with an agency ( after the contract is signed only) FFFRN
