With your specialty areas and experience, the agencies will be stepping all over themselves to get you! Agencies such as Nursefinders, Maxim, Carestaf and Renal Care Group are hiring in that area now. A resource job search location for you is: http://www.careerbuilder.com You can have an updated listing of jobs emailed to you every morning. Best of luck

I've heard lately that the agency market down that way hasn't been so great lately. Any truth? Just curious.

Actually, I think the majority of agency nurses do quite well in this area. Particularly critical care and emergency RN's. Having said that, there is one agency that I would not bother with "Crown" out of Springfield.

I totally agree with you, Amy in regard to your comment about Crown Nursing. Don't try to verify your employment with them either because they have lost your employee record.

I just started with Crown, tell me more about problems with them, I don't want to get in a big mess....
