Hey all! I am looking to travel to Tampa sometime this year, and I have never traveled as a RN before. Any Travel companies that have plenty of job offers in the Tampa area? Any companies I should avoid for any reason? Any suggestions on hospital systems in the area? I will have my own housing, so would like to keep that in mind when working out the contract... Thanks!

Start calling agencies and see which ones you click with. Most agencies you call will have access to Tampa jobs. Use PanTravelers calculator to see which agency offers pay best, or just to figure out what the numbers really mean to you.

Thank you! Will companies be able/willing to give out numbers without applying?

No. It is a bit of give and take but I would avoid the agencies that insist on a full signup before talking straight. Too much work and there are plenty of other agencies.

they dump on the seasonals. don't work for the tele floors witt3 or witt 4. the ortho floor gets 7 patients at night and 6 on days.if they don't have enough patients to staff that the seasonal nurse is sent home. they are allowed to cancel you at lease once ever two weeks but that happens a lot in the summer
