Travel Companies to Reccomend?

Specialties Travel

Published

Hello all! I am wondering if anyone has ever worked for Readylink? Also, I looked over past forums, and can't find mention of any names of companies to go with or avoid. Would love if everyone chipped in what good and bad companies they have delt with:) TY

Anybody work for Trinity? Or Valley Health Systems? How would you rate them. Thanks.

Specializes in ICU/PACU.

I have been working with Trinity for this last assignment. They have been very good except for a couple of things. First, I worked for one week when my son-in-law was killed and I had to be off for three weeks. When I called my recruiter to have her change the time I was coming back, I found out my recruiter was no longer there. The recruiter I spoke with did not call the hospital. When I called the next day, the manager was upset (understandibly) because she did not have the staff for the next week. I was suppose to start back this next Monday but the hospital cancelled my contract. Now I am scrambling to find another job.

I know quite a few of you are looking into and asking questions about different companies. I have had many different companies over the 13 years I have been traveling. The one I recommend is the one I'm with nowl Innovative Placements, or there logo which is IPI. They have given me the most back and with the best benefits. They are a small company so you get to know everyone you work with on a first name bases, from the owners down to your recruiter. I would now travel with no one else because I know I can trust them with everything.

This is a company that supported me through a surgery and helped me plan it so that I didn't loose my insurance, they are very real people who understand. I hope this is helpful.

i am beginning on a journey into traveling. i want this to not only be a new chapter, but a new book in my life, and want someone out there to help me write it. of coorifice this is a metaphor, but i know you will make it happen by helping me to decide on a company that won't screw me over. i'm in my 40's and am limited to doing peds only. i'm good at what i do and have done it for 10 years. i have charged, resourced, and staffed throughout those years on the same unit, so know my stuff. i have taken care of a variety of patients; rehab, neuro, renal, respiratory, ortho, and gi. i need a list of questions that i can ask the recruiter. i pray that god will help you to guide me! i am looking foward to hearing from you.

Specializes in Med Surg, Ortho, L & D (yea BABY!).

I can personally reccomend Sunbelt Staffing. I worked for them for several years and never had a bad experience. I remember one time I had gotten a flat tire at work while on assignment with them. I casually mentioned it to my recruiter b/c it resulted in a scheduling change...by the end of the week, I had a free one year AAA membership! They really do go above and beyond for their nurses.

The 2 companies I can't reccommend are Preferred and Supplemental. Preferred tried to reneg on a contract 6 weeks into it, b/c they supposedly had "miscalculated" my housing stipend. When I told them that the contract was the contract, and they couldn't change it half way thru, they cancelled it with the hospital and left me high and dry. NIGHTMARE!!!

Does anyone know anything about RNDemand or TNS (Travel Nurse Solutions)

companies? I have received calls from them and was wondering if they are good or not.

My husband works for TNS and he has been treated VERY well. He travels about 60 miles from home and the stipend is extremely generous. He has slightly more than doubled his income from his hospital job. His recruiter is wonderful about returning calls, checking up to see if he is happy, etc. He has worked on the same assignment for five months now (started out as a 13 week assignment) and he really enjoys TNS. The hospital he is assigned to treats their travelers nicely (one guy has been there 3 years, lol), but the equipment is not very good (Meridian MS).

Sorry I don't have any information regarding RNDemand.

Best wishes!

I worked my first assignment with TNS, then for a variety of reasons went with On Assignment for the next 5. Now talking to TNS again because they can get me where I want to go, and also because they have short term assignments and I'd like to be here when my next grandbaby is born. Nothing bad to say about either outfit.

I'm looking into PPR. I've talked to a recruiter from there, and she seems very nice and attentive. I've spoken to american mobile before (my colleagues advised meand they were just so quick to getting me to fill out an application, etc., and when I asked for info...they were so vague. But this recruiter at PPR let me ask anyyy question i can think, and she's answered every question well to the best of her knowledge. I'm told that they're really concerned w/ making their nurses happy. Any input on PPR?? I'm thinking about really going w/ them and then have cross country as my backup!

Hoping to travel in the US for the first time and have been looking into CCTC and On Assignment. Was wondering anyone's opinions? They each have good points and draw backs, but would appreciate any input.

I've actually got several posts in this thread regarding CCTC since I've been working as a traveler with them for 11 years now and this thread has been up for quite a while.(That should tell you my level of satisfaction with them) If you want to post or pm me specific questions about them I should be able to answer them.
