staffing medical usa, heard of them?

[jsteffen]

Has anyone heard of the travel nursing agency "Staffing Medical USA"? I just finished talking with a recruiter and most of the general details seem average (insurance, 401K, travel reimbursement) but he said even though they are based out of Arizona they staff for many of the hospitals in Alaska from Anchorage to the remote Kodiak Island. Their website looks pretty credible and it mentioned they were JCAHO certified which is promising. However, I tried google searching it and looking for it on travel nurse central and on the site as well. I couldn't find anything about it, no reviews, rating, suggestion, anything. It didn't sound too good to be true on the phone because like I said earlier many of the basic details seemed similar to other companies. However before I go ahead with any company I like to check reviews and see their credibility. Please throw out any ideas, suggestions, comments, or anything. I'd love to hear them!

Never heard of them but it wouldnt hurt to throw them your profile and see what they come up with. There's TONs of small and medium size companies,(that pay well & wont leave you stranded) that noones ever heard of.. I find that most online reviews are crap anyway. They are either disgruntled employee's or a paid advertisement from the Agency..

If you got a good vibe from the recruiter, go with it--and let us know what happens! Also, keep in mind that "its tougher in Alaska" & if you are not working at a Federal Hospital you will need to apply for the state license. Good Luck
