Ok guys need some help.
A buddy and and I have been thinking about heading south to do some seasonal travel. And I'm not sure if agency is the way to go. We was also looking into some PRN work. So I am asking if any of your carolina folks or around the area can give me a ball park figure on PRN pay or about agency pay? We're looking at tele and possibly med-Surg. I really hate to get in contact with an agency right away due to the fact of never ending phone calls and emails (been there, done that). But any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Don't know about agency, but PRN is about $30 here.

One of my co-workers in acute care did travel nursing in S. Carolina, loved it. She said the hourly pay was not great, but they paid for her housing expenses and gave her a certain amount of reimbursement for travel expenses as well which made up the difference. I worked in southeastern VA for about 18 years, the pay in the south east is not the greatest, but the cost of living is less than in the north east. When we moved to MD I got about a $10.00/h increase in pay, but housing and cost of living is more. Hope this helps!!
