Unsolicited Offer

[VickyRN]

The other night at work on our unit, an unsolicited offer came up over our fax machine. It was from a nursing agency that I had never heard of, offering $4,200 dollars/week to work at unidentified hospitals in California. Had an 800 number to call if interested. Just wondering, anybody out there also receiving this offer and is this a strike-breaking outfit? Seems like an inordinate amount of money. Must be something fishy going on.

I just thought I'd share that these unsolicited faxes are illegal. I'd think twice about doing working for a business that uses these cheesy, shady and illegal methods of marketing.
