So, I'm a brand new traveler and I've had an interesting start, to say the least. I accepted one contract that was cancelled by the hospital three days before I was supposed to leave d/t "unforeseen budget cuts." Quickly scrambled and took a different contract with a different agency. There were a few red flags in the beginning that I shouldn't have glazed over (didn't see my contract until the Friday before I left [was leaving on a Monday] and they automatically wanted to put me in an extended stay x 13 weeks vs. an apartment). Figured they were little hiccups and kept going. On the drive out there, a tropical storm caused TNCC to be rescheduled for the following week. My recruiter told me this wouldn't be an issue and the hospital would likely start me that Monday and have me continue the course Tuesday. The next day, we find out my apartment wasn't actually available. Next day, my contract is delayed until July 13. Multiple issues regarding where I would be staying/working, they were trying to find per diem shifts in the interim and looking for a different contract. Then, I receive another email mentioning how my recruiter had canceled my contract altogether on my behalf while searching for a new one for me. I didn't authorize this at all after we had discussed keeping it in case we couldn't find a new, faster starting one. After 9 days of being unsure of a living and work situation, I decided to forgo it and return home. I worked a short shift that I have not received compensation for. I'm obviously not being reimbursed for my travel out there and the money I was promised for the delay in start. Do I have any recourse in this scenario? This feels like a bit of a nightmare.
