Travel LVN

Hi, I just have a quick question. A recruiter called me regarding a VA job. The email says, "Pay  for this assignment is $735/12 hr x3 shifts or   $2205/week/ or $28, 665 for 13 weeks." She only mentioned the $735/ 12 hour x3 shifts. But now that I'm reading the email, I noticed the $28, 665 for 13 weeks. I don't really know what that means. Can someone help please, thank you.

If you make $735 per shift, and work 3 shifts per week, that totals $2205 per week total. If you multiply that for 13 weeks, you get $28,665. So that would be the total for the full 13 week contract. You would work three 12-hour shifts per week for 13 weeks. Hope that clears it up?

is that a good contract?

That I don't know since I don't do travel LPN work. Sounds like pretty good money to me, though I would expect they have some issues at their facility if willing to pay that much... Three shifts per week is good if it stays at only that and there is not expected OT. If it were me, to help me decide, I would ask myself, if it turned out to be a highly stressful, terrible assignment, would that pay make it still worth it to me?
