I was offered $24 an hour w/ my agency. Now that it comes down to the contract, my recruiter is telling me that on my contract it will show $18.17 an hour but I will be getting a meal allowance of $30 a day and that will add up to my $24 an hour. This doesnt sound right. Does this mean if I get overtime it is only double time of $18.17? That stinks!!!! I feel I have been lied to. The recruiter says I have already verbally agreed and I can't back out....but I havent signed anything, and I verbally agreed to $24 an hour NOT $18.17. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Please help! I am w/ RN NETWORk.

I am in Dallas TX. I do Ortho and med surg..and prn Postpartum and charge. How about you? The companys I have spoken with have told me there are a lot of Denver assignments but not Colorado Springs. I have also heard that American Mobile treats there nurses unfairly..I dont know personally though. I am not familiar with the travel process either. This will be my first assignment.

I am first time traveler. I want to go to Colorado but am not sure if I want Colorado Springs or Denver. My husband will be with me. We have friends there and we like the areas, but I dont know much about the hospitals. I am looking into RN network and possibly On Assignment. Are these good companys and should I hold out for a rental car while I am on assignment? Any help would be great!
