Hello all, I've never done a travel assignment before but looking into going to California. Hoping someone can give me some advice...My recruiter gave me a pay rate of $1,500/wk if I find my own housing and $1,000/wk if I take their housing. The only other thing offered was reimbursement for my license and $1,000 reimbursement for travel expenses. Not sure if this is typical or I should look into another agency. I know the cost of living/housing is more expensive in CA but I expected the pay to be higher. I would actually make less money taking this assignment than if I just stay in my regular job. For anyone who has traveled recently...is this the usual pay rate?? Any suggestions? I'm re-thinking travel nursing now
