CC RN here. was working Monday busy...two patients both on multiple gtts. one very unstable. had gotten a couple emails from employer (AMN Travel) saying a cable box was left in the apt by a former nurse tenant now due or she would have to pay $400. Said they could come by pick it up that night after work or anytime next am. back and forth. their housing manager calls me at work says they are going to enter the apt without my consent to get the box. we agree to leave box outside door. it got picked up yesterday late pm.
emailed recruiter that night describing issue. she had previously told housing manager that I was not comfortable them entering. long/short. I go back to patient bedside after my phone conversation and I must refocus which was challenging to do...
This is the 2nd time AMN has interrupted me telling me that I must do something threatening either my pay or privacy.
I talk with Manager yesterday of AMN and she is all about the apology. Says VP is getting involved. I say it was very disengaging to have to deal with this issue and does AMN know what I do? blah blah totally ****** (less so this morning). have pretty much lost all confidence in AMN but the recruiter is stellar and pushing this to them big time.
have other options, don't want to throw baby out with bathwater....but also don't want to be disturbed like that at work EVER again.
A follow up. Email from manager saying housing manager now feeling horrible about this incident. And surprise VP is "on vacation" and this was all a misunderstanding.
I have asked them to do me a favor and remember that I see abusive people in the ER all the time and they get remorseful quick when caught.
Offered a new position here yesterday. Submitted the app 3 months ago. Timing looks right.
AMN....hmmm. not really sure what to say about it now. Iffy at best.

Thanks. I would concur about AMN it's to bad. There are some good people working there. Big corporation. We all know that one. Lesson learned here.
