Questions about travel nursing?

[CEN35]

well for anybody that has any experience or answers to my questions about travel nursing, i would appreciate it. :)

#1 - i know most places (from what i have heard) are looking for travel nurses for 13 week contracts. is it possible to get like a 4-6 week contract?

#2 - how do they pay you, weekly or bi-weekly?

#3 - how do you get your pay? deposited to a local bank with a new account? or too your bank from your homestate etc?

#4 - how do you find out where they need you, and where you can go? hours? shifts? etc. etc.

#5 - what is included in it? (i.e. housing? electric? rate of pay, any benefits, etc etc?)

any help would be greatly appreciated,

me :)

me,

i know they have assignments in maine. i don't know what else. this company nwntp will market a certain area for you if they don't have something, after they know your specialty and more details about what you are looking for. i have never worked for a company that would do that, you usually have to pick from what they already have. nwntp go that extra mile!! call toll free @ 1-866-83-nurse.

Rick,

If you narrow your search and need info on a particular travel company let me know. Travel nurses flock here in the winter and I probably know at least one from each company!:)
