I'm currently frustrated, puzzled, sceptical ...and then some! 3 rd party vendors ( TPV for sake of brevity) : after a string of strange requests/requirements/ automated interviews and such, I find that :- -they can make or break a travel contract ( no accountability, no explanations!) - put up requirements/ requests that are questionable, not approved/lawful ( 2 step PPD ?) - opaque, anything BUT transparent recruiter/ facility/traveler communication; often deliberately overbooking on travelers, thus eliminating them; - TPV also responsible for the downgrading of what used to be a full grown contract - now often a very loose agreement! - I'm angry about it, have less work - and wish that there would be a Watch- dog organization ( CNA?) put upon them for scrutiny! I'd love to hear others experiences ? If you agree w. me, a grass roots opposing to this practice would /could be possible! ( similar to tenants against predatory landlords!) And yes, In essence - The TPV's practice IS predatory - they want a big piece of a large, potentially prolific pie!

Its clear that CPSI is intensly disliked by many; I have worked with it, I am now proficient at it and do NOT have an issue; I really dislike Paragon & Cerner, if anyone wants to start a ***** fest on the user UN friendliness of computer charting...?! I hear ( being an older, 50- ies plus RN) a lot of young RN's remark that CPSI is so Eighties; I agree and feel them; if 1 grew up with computers, it is arachaic, ancient. The really young RN's still do struggle ( but less) w Cerner & Paragon, clearly My advice: learn it, use it, get proficient at it...... there's worse!
