Hi BeccaRoseRN, Sorry to hear about your current situ! I have done travel work with various agencies. I'm really sorry to hear that your first experience out of the gate was not smooth. In addition to some of the really good suggestions that were made here, have you considered using a good accountant? Although your current/former agency apparently did not give you travel incentives or per diems, you may be able to claim some of your expenses as deductions. Also, there are MANY agencies. You might consider looking at working for another agency. Many are competitive and know of the others. You might get a job working with a competitor. Just a thought. I wish you all good things!
