Hello,

Does anybody know anything about this company? I am going to try travel nursing and I am thinking about going with this company. Are they reputable?

I work for them for a month in St. Croix. So far they have been a great company to work for.

I've been checking out travel agencies and this one perked up my interest...after going to their website, I was wondering, for those of you who have experience with them, if they pay for your housing and health insurance, or are you expected to pick these up at your cost? thanks...pattycake:nurse:

They advertise that they pay housing. The deal I have they just give a generous housing allowance and you find your own. They do have health insurance but for a family it's really expensive. We've found a way around that cost by going through a local insurance carrier here in the VI. Much more economical. If you don't use their insurance, they will even pay you $46/week so that you can find your own. So far I really love the company but I've only worked for them for 1 month. Nothing negative at all to say about them. If you are going to travel, I'd stay away from the VI though. The working conditions I'd have to say are less than ideal. In fact it's truly shocking at the assignments they expect you to take with the systems they have in place. (The hospital, not the agency). As I said before, the agency is great.

Does anyone know if $23 hour is a good travel rate for Birmingham, Alabama? What benefits should I expect in a package. Is this low if it includes housing? Jilly

VI...sounds great...what kinds of ratios and acuity are we talking here? Is the equipment up to date? are the standards of care similar to Continental US? Are your fellow nurses well trained? Are the docs well trained?

Sorry about all of the questions...

Enjoy the view, the sun, the sand.....;)

hi nursemelrn,,,,,,what floor are you working on? I would love to hear whats happening there, as I was there for 18 months and left there in january.

VI is a greta place! I was there several years ago and it is heavenly! I wasn't working so can't tell you much about that side of it. If you go you have to visit St. John - it is the most beautiful place I've been. I would check out the hospitals carefully as it is an island, similar to the Bahamas.

there is only one hospital on the island....its called the governer juan f luis medical centre. the island is 8 miles wide and 28 miles long with 69,000 people living there.
