What do you think?

I have worked both agency and staff over my 17 years in nursing. I can tell you that most good nurses that are not afraid of a visiting nurse making them look bad are great to agency staff. I can also say that if the facilities paid their staff as well as agency did they might have some staff to pay. I have worked with good and bad nurses in both area staff and agency. So I do not believe that a general statement can be made about agency. You must judge each nurse for him or herself. Not if they are agency or staff. Sandi

I totally agree. I just wish we would treat each other equally, and not differentiate between local and travel nurses. I've thought about traveling, but I'm not interested in working in a hostile environment.
