One thing to consider when looking at travel companies is whether or not they are national. It sounds kind of silly, but belive me it can save you a lot of frustration. I have done travel nursing for quite some time now and I have made the mistake working for some smaller shops and on a couple of occasions I have literally had to chase them for my paycheck. By working with a more substantial outfit, you usually have better benefits, more assignments to select from, and you have the luxury of knowing you will be paid and the check won't bounce.
