26 week contracts

Total BS. But if I was the manager, I'd try to lock up an L&D nurse into a long contract. I hope you asked for more money first, just as I hope you would do for an extension.

One more reason for more money: more risk. I've only agreed to 26 weeks once. Worst assignment by far!

I agree. I will max at 13 weeks. I want to see the light at the end if it's a bad place. Àould definitely get some more money or bonuses for signing and completing. Training should take a max of 3 days IMO ,for a traveler you that is experienced.

Those contracts that typically offer 16 weeks or more, I would simply interview and ask my recruiter to submit me for 13. I never had an issue with a hospital turning me down.

I think more than 13 is too much. Let yourself decide if you want to extend.

I have only agreed to a 26 week contract at a facility at which I have done a previous contract. I would not want to be tied in that long if I didn't know for sure that the place was good for me.

I only took the 26 week contract because it paid the most money. I wouldn't lock myself into a 6 month commitment unless it was financially beneficial. I still kinda regret it though especially if what get said about 26 week contracts isnt true.
