Soliant

LovelyMo79, I think it is absolutely FINE to ask about pay. I'm not sure what everyone is flipping out about. Personally, I thought it was rude for someone else to be informing you of what you "should" be doing.

I'm trying to hear first hand from those that have used Soliant. Soliant will give me ranges or just the top paying ones. I'm looking from info from the nurse's who have used them firsthand. Thanks.

I reread this thread and this popped out at me. I missed it.

This is hugely significant. The original poster was unable to get real compensation details from Soliant so she asked the community. That is beyond sad agency behavior and unfortunately, not uncommon. My advice for anyone who encounters this from any agency is to drop them immediately. Life is too short, and there are lots of agencies out there that will tell you what they pay on a real assignment. You don't have to waste time submitting all your documentation and jumping through hoops just to find out that a particular agency doesn't pay well (as will usually be the case).

Are you a traveler, and if so, what agency or hospital are you working with?

I'm between assignments working on my house. I'll probably go to California in a couple of weeks.

I am truly sorry I signed on with this company. I did because they offered a contract with the IHS and I've always wanted to work with Native Americans. I took a pay cut and found out later from other travel nurses I worked with that they were all making more $$ and were offered more perks in terms of stipends, bonuses.

It was a stressful working environment with lots of drama which I won't get into, but I did well (they wanted me to stay).

I took some time off to visit family and do some personal traveling. In that time I received a call from another nurse recruiter from Soliant( my previous one had left the agency). I asked him to check into some opportunities in a specific area. He told me he would get back to me.

Now this is the clincher! 3 weeks went by; I never received a call back from him. I call Soliant and gave my name 3 times to the person manning the main line. They can't find me in their records????

So bizarre. This was yesterday. The man said he would call back, presumably when they got things straightened out. No call...

Needless to say, this was the last straw, so I will be going with another agency.

This is only my experience, but I wanted to caution others who may be thinking of this agency. Be sure you know what you're getting into and be firm with what you want..
